In June I’m attending the ISTE conference in Chicago. ISTE is the best of the best when it comes to technology conferences.  I will be presenting for both ISTE and for Innovative Educator Consulting. Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing all that I learn!
Starting in June I will be teaching an online course on Artificial Intelligence. Teachers around the nation will be joining the course though ISTE U. The possibilities of using AI with students in the classroom is truly exciting.



In June and August I will be presenting at various school districts. It’s incredibly beneficial to be able to see what educators and districts are doing with ed tech.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. Enjoy your time with family and friends.
