Starting the morning with breakfast, introductions, and connecting educators who are passionate about transforming teaching and learning with technology. ☕💡

The best PD happens when educators learn from each other.

One of the best parts of today? Educators sharing REAL classroom experiences with each other. 🙌

The BenQ Brag Area is already full of amazing conversations, ideas, and success stories.

Love my twin! 😆💕

Do you also have a district twin somewhere? People get me and @MsCYao confused all the time. Here we are, actually dressing up as twins. 👩🏻‍🏫👩🏻‍🏫

My favorite pictures from the Think Pink Pep Rally this week! 🥧 Mr. Trotter had some sort of force field going on around his head. He had THREE pies thrown at him, and not a single one landed! Love how much fun our students had! @Apollo_JH #RISDBetheOne

[Crystal Yao @MsCYao]

Check out how the amazing @SraSmithRISD used @magicschoolai's student component to create an engaging lesson for her Spanish students! 👏 @RISDiTeam

[Amy Smith @SraSmithRISD]

Heritage Spanish speakers @Apollo_JH studying AI: students described a scene, then used @magicschoolai and @AdobeForEdu to create an image of the scene, then wrote a description of the image. Super fun and the pictures are awesome! #apollogearup #RISDWorldLanguages #RISDBeTheOne
