What changes when students create instead of just complete?
In Episode 87, Michael Wesely and I explore how Adobe Express helps students show their thinking, tell their stories, and make learning stick.
One idea. Something you can use tomorrow. @TechWarriorKES @AdobeExpress

What if we stopped asking:
“What activity are students doing?”
…and started asking:
“What experience will students remember?”
Episode 81 with Michael Wesely is live. @TechWarriorKES
We talk:
🔹 Student ownership
🔹 Gift shop thinking
🔹 Learning beyond compliance
CHECK THIS OUT! Such an important skill for students of today! Elementary kids here could use this practice for sure! @chhuff33 @anasmith_CLES5 @Beth_SmithTECH
Teaching kids to spot fake sources?
Try the Source Stoplight. 🚦 Red means stop and check. Yellow means slow down and ask why. Green means it checks out.
It's simple enough for a 4th grader and sharp enough for high school.
Watch the move: youtu.be/IB4dhl3pnHw
What if students remembered your lesson the way they remember a game, movie, or concert?
Check out our conversation on The Tech Flush Podcast with @josh_morris65 about creating learning experiences that kids can't wait join!

My friend @TechWarriorKES shared this gem. Want to level up writing instruction? Watch this under 20-min video.
When kids own the data, they stop waiting for feedback. They take real steps to grow.

For 15+ years, I’ve been driven by one thing in education: exploration.
Exploring what’s possible.
Exploring how tech shifts learning from passive to powerful.
Now excited to put @KnowtTeam to the test in K–12 with an amazing group of innovators.
