This year I have reduced the tools I share with my teachers and leaning into my top 5 must-have tools to ensure more consistent implementation that supports instruction. Check out my new @edutopia article to learn more!! https://t.co/0EpKbvtezf

@BooktokHub Thank you! It was a moment as a coach when I reflected back on my career and past presentations and saw the common thread of wearing the student hat.

[Crystal Uhiren Ed. S. @MrsUTeachesTech]

My favorite thing about my book is that it’s designed to help the busiest teachers improve the learning experience. From a PLC study to a 10-day guide, Wear the Student Hat is a practice in perspective, with practical ideas teachers can put into action right away.

[Crystal Uhiren Ed. S. @MrsUTeachesTech]

Wow @MannyDiscoTech Thank you so much for the @edpuzzle swag!! Can’t wait to share it with teachers.

[Crystal Uhiren Ed. S. @MrsUTeachesTech]

[Jennifer Womble @JenWomble]

AI can write a lesson plan in seconds. It cannot decide what a community owes its children. We need human leadership. That distinction is at the heart of my District Administration article announcing the @FETC 2027 content agenda.

The question facing district leaders is not simply which #AI tools to adopt. It is what we want students to know, do, and become; and how technology can help us get there without erasing the thinking and relationships learning requires. A vendor roadmap is not a district vision. A ban does not teach judgment. And if AI can complete an assignment, we may need to rethink the assignment.

At the Future of Education Technology Conference next January, educators will explore responsible AI, #cybersecurity, career-connected learning, digital wellness, and assessment redesign. The thread connecting these conversations is human leadership: creativity to imagine what is possible, synthesis to make sense of competing needs, empathy to earn trust, and agency to act.

I hope district teams arrive with one stubborn problem, listen to students and teachers, and leave with a measure of what better learning looks like. AI will keep getting more capable and amplify human capabilities. Our responsibility is to become more intentional and strategic.
