Did you know that I was already writing #AIOptimism when this podcast came out? It was perfect to see people I respect in education already talking about the concept, and it empowered me to reach out to Ruben to write the forward! Special thanks to @Sparvell for connecting the dots.

I was fortunate to join many podcasts over the summer and fall, all talking #AIOptimism and the framework in my book. If you missed one and want to catch up, I have a @wakelet.com collection for that! Pick an episode and make sure to share your thoughts with the hosts.

What an amazing morning delivering a keynote on #AIOptimism and the power of partnerships with Trinity Valley Community College faculty and staff! The response was amazing (and my stack of books sold out). I can’t wait to hear how the potential of AI positively impacts their students.

I recently earned my Canva Certified Education Trainer certification after completing a course and submitting a sample training video for review. I love showing off the benefits of Canva for students, especially with the new AI features. I mention them in my book too!
