Humans Teaching Humans About the Machine — ISTE 2026 AI & EdTech Supershow, Part 2

-

Host Vicki Davis takes her microphone onto the floor at ISTE 2026 in Orlando for Part 2 of the ISTE AI and EdTech Supershow. Karim Meghji, President and CEO of CodeAI — the nonprofit formerly known as Code.org — argues that AI literacy belongs in every classroom, and that the goal is students who can question an answer, not just generate one. Kimmie Fink, a thirteen-year classroom veteran now senior editor at the BBC Learning Hub, walks through free resources teachers can use tomorrow. And Brandie Wright tells the story of the student from her ISTE keynote — a real child that audience members assumed was invented by AI.

These are my favorite apps, software, and sites for managing my life, home, classroom, and more.  Hope you enjoy and hope you share yours in the comments. Calendaring 1. Google Calendar Google Calendar is now and has been my calendar of choice for about a year and a half. I have a personal calendar for me that is set up to send me a text message at certain times before I have to be somewhere because I always forget what time it is!  My family and each child has a calendar (I set the kids appointments to automatically show up on the family calendar), and I use Google cal for my classes .   Each class and major project such as netgened has a calendar and I embed these calendars in all of the Nings, blogs, and wikis as needed to keep people apprised of what is happening. I print these calendars out for my classes and for the refrigerator! The greatest addition to the calendar is that now I keep my 5 most important calendars on my Apple iPod touch 16 GB (2nd Gene...

OK. The verdict is in, my husband and I both rate the Airset calendaring service a 10! We have used its powerful features and RSS to Rapidly Synchronize our Sanity ! Everyone loves it, from the 9 year old to the 39 year old! We have three children, ourselves, a plethora of community activities, and an extended family to keep up with. I was updating calendars and reprinting them every second and they were still outdated. Three weeks a go, I'd had it! My sitter is moving to greener (or saner) pastures and I was so overwhelmed! I spent about three hours researching family planning tools and looked at Trumba , Remember the Milk , 30 boxes , MyHomePoint , and Airset . I tried and set up calendars in a few. Here is what got me excited about Airset: RSS feeds - All of them have this ability. I have my children starting up on a simple Google start up page which shows them their g-mail account and blogs of note (some I write just for them). Using RSS, my children now see their ...

Save time Webmaster! Use RSS feeds

-
I have been learning about the various tools to get the load off of me as webmaster of our school website . Recently, I attended a class on Macromedia Contribute and I was impressed. However, I dreaded the installation, training, and other work that always comes with software. Then, I stumbled upon several websites that have made it easy to keep the school website updated -- with only my limited involvement. These use a relatively new technology called RSS feeds . They are: RSS Calendar - www.rsscalendar.com -- The front office staff, always looking for ways to improve things, updates the calendar. We used categories so that news feed readers can subscribe to just the calendars they need. Check out our website at www.westwoodschools.org -- the calendar on the right and on the calendar pages comes directly from the online calendar. And when I say fast - I mean fast -- it updates immediately! That is two hours off my plate a week! Flickr - www.flickr.com -- I am using this to a...
