At #ISTE, I saw Google’s new AI tools for education. They’re flashy but missing key things: student safety alerts, visibility into learning, and real human support. Small edtech companies still win by listening to teachers and building what we actually need.

At #ISTE, I discovered even more virtual treasures from the U.S. National Parks! Check out the amazing site and book that James Fester has put together: Learning really can happen anywhere, from a geyser in Wyoming to a laptop screen at home.

I can’t wait to read this!!!!.

I learned so much at #iste but also had fun at the sponsored events! @GetSchoolAI knows how to make an event a whole experience. They hosted at @hopscotch and it felt like we were kids again. This event was immersive, fun, weird and cool all at the same time. Bravo SchoolAI!

Class Companion is like a teacher’s best friend — it helps with writing feedback, saves time, and supports every student, so you can focus on what matters most: connecting, guiding, and inspiring. Even superheroes need a sidekick. @EduGuardian5

One of the highlights from #ISTELive25 was hearing directly from @briskteaching founder, Arman Jaffer. He’s not just leading innovation behind the scenes. He’s out there talking with teachers, showing up to events, and genuinely listening to what educators need. #ai #edtech #iste

Day 1 of #ISTE was fantastic! Reconnecting with other EdTech enthusiasts and @EduGuardian5, chatting with Matthew X. Joseph Ed.D. on his podcast, seeing the SchoolAI bus in person, learning about AI integration frameworks, checking out new Microsoft prompts, & taking pics!
