I got to talk to @sciam.bsky.social about why AI isn't just a cheating issue, it's an equity tool when we use it right. Featured in the March 2026 print issue. scientificamerican.com/article/a-veteran-teacher-explains-how-to-use-ai-in-the-classroom-the-right-way/ #AIinEd #EdTech #EduskyAI #EduSky

Great score last night from Too Good To Go. Yes, that is a whole large fresh pizza. We paid about $6 for it. If you don’t have TGTG and you live in an urban area with lots of restaurants, you need this app. tgtg.onelink.me/OGjG/4a7k9x29

California just shipped the first state-level model AI policy for K-12 schools. One state now has a template that 49 others can adopt, adapt, or ignore. The districts that move first will define the national pattern. cde.ca.gov/nr/el/le/yr26ltr0706.asp

I have season tickets to a local theater. Last year and again this year I used Gemini to add the theater dates to my Google Calendar. I took a picture of the tickets. Gave the pic to Gemini and asked it to add the theater events to my calendar. It's a small but satisfying time savings. #gemini

High school English teacher @jen.litandtech.com has extensively shared her thoughts about AI with us—from our podcast to our tech newsletter The Wired Classroom. It was a pleasure to read more from her in @sciam.bsky.social:

Veteran teacher Jen Roberts explains why generative tools are more than just a platform for cheating—they’re a way to make classrooms fairer and more human

For those of you who've always wanted a four-minute version of my best AI mitigation strategies, I made you a video. Strategies, tools, and psychology for keeping student writing authentic without losing your mind. #edusky #eduskyAI #teachers #education youtu.be/ioMlQRSNSnQ

How does teacher @jen.litandtech.com persuade students not to use AI in academically dishonest ways? “Once my students know that I am knowledgeable, that AI is fallible, and that AI writing is easy to spot, the temptation to use it seems to drop a lot.” Here are her strategies. 💻 #EduSky

Formative assessment that actually helps students while it assesses them? Brisk Boost has become my go-to for reading support. Students get adaptive support, and I see who needs help in real time. Way better than a quiz. Tips from my classroom: www.litandtech.com/2025/11/usin... 🎒📖

Grateful for a year of learning alongside other teachers 💙 Every opportunity taught me something new. Thank you to everyone who shared space this year 🙏 Here's to more learning together in 2026 ✨ #EduSky #EdTech #AIinEd #EduSkyAI

Useful update to my post about using AI to improve the HTMl of my Canvas LMS pages. I added a link to a custom tool I made with @magicschoolai that makes improving the HTML of your pages even simpler. Check it out buff.ly/coAWPX9 #eduskyai #aiinedu

My students are reading The...Diary of a Part-Time Indian? 📚 I built an escape room chatbot in MagicSchool to review the novel. I'm curious to see what they know and how they engage with the text in this format! 🔐✨ @magicschoolai.bsky.social app.magicschool.ai/magic-studen... #EduSkyAI
