Proud of all 9 K-12 campuses @EanesISD named Apple Distinguished Schools for innovative and responsible use of instructional technology. Every school earned this distinction, so we are one of two public school districts in Texas to be named an Apple Distinguished School District!

Jamie Clark shares a "Back to School" digital journal. It's a document in Pages for iPad. Students complete 5 creativity challenges. It's a great way for iPad-using students to learn Clips, GarageBand, Keynote, Numbers, and Pages. #AppleEdu #iPadEdu

We had a great day welcoming new staff and exploring the many ways technology can enhance and transform teaching and learning. This is going to be an excellent year! 🚀 #eanesedtech

[Kirk Koennecke @EanesSupt]

SO excited to welcome all our new educators @eanesisd today. One of my most favorite days in the opening of a new school year. The energy, enthusiasm and even butterflies remind us that new teachers have their own first day of school, too. Welcome to our family!

@mrhooker @MicrosoftFlip App grief is real.

Excited to work with 3rd graders this afternoon! We'll be doing one of my favorite projects with @AdobeExpress!

Using PebbleGo, they'll research an animal & remix my Koala project. Remix link: https://t.co/RoG58LgnGw

Tried some comic creation using #Keynote and #AdobeFirefly - came out great (not much of a story, more of an experiment). Challenge was consistency of character/style across the generated images. Learned a lot! Check out my latest newsletter for the details (subscribe on my site)

We are proud to host the Anne Frank traveling exhibit at Westlake HS this month! The exhibit is open to the community the evenings of Oct. 12, 18, 24, 30, with guided tours by @WHSChaps students. Students in grades 6-12 will have reserved access during the day.

[Kirk Koennecke @EanesSupt]

Given tragedies in the Middle East, Monday's opening of the Anne Frank exhibit @WHSChaps was very poignant. Stories of persecution and courage brought to life by the student docents and their stellar job of telling Anne Frank's timeless story. So proud of this event @EanesISD

This is the time of year that I clean and reorganize my desktop. I saw so many logos and small designs that I thought I'd compile them in one place. I'm so grateful I get to keep using Adobe Illustrator in my role. #AdobeEduCreative @AdobeForEdu
