📢 SOCIAL: The buzz about Ditch Summit

If you haven’t seen this session by Joe and Kristin Merrill, you should. It’s so, so practical.

Plus … doesn’t it look like Kristin is trying to talk Joe into something in the picture below? What could be it be???

Thanks Mr. Brown (@cpbrown1984) for sharing on the #DitchSummit hashtag on Twitter/X!

"Be nice online (program) is a waste of time. [...] It's a much better use of time to teach coping skills because dealing with difficult people is something you have to do your whole life."-@julnilsmith

"It's about demystifying the use of AI in the classroom ... We need to scaffold our conversations about AI for our educators. Fear kills innovation." @FelyTeachnology hit the nail on the head with her #ditchsummit presentation on AI today!

Do you feel like you’re behind on the Ditch Summit?

Please don’t.

Remember … there are 105 sessions available. And you have a LOT going on at this time of year.

You have more than two weeks left — until Jan. 5. There’s still PLENTY of time.

💡 SPOTLIGHT SPONSOR SESSION

AI: Navigating a New Era in Education with Five Star Technology

Artificial intelligence is impacting education in lots of ways.

It impacts different roles in different ways.

In this session with Five Star Technology, we hear from the admin perspective (Lisa Cutshall), the coach perspective (Ana Smith), and the teacher perspective (Joe Marshall).

Among other things, Five Star Technology provides professional development (virtual and in-person) around the country. These folks have worked with LOTS of educators and have wisdom to share.

🎁 BONUS: The folks at Five Star Technology shared a slide deck full of AI resources. Each page has helpful information and links to even more content.

PS: Get information about bringing Five Star Technology professional development to your school/district.

🤔 NOW WHAT?

What to expect during the rest of the summit

So … all 105 sessions are now live. What should you expect next?

  1. Well, for one … we’re going to take a bit of a break from the emails. You’ll hear back from us again on Tuesday. (Enjoy the holiday season!)

  2. For the remaining two weeks of the summit, we’ll email you with session suggestions. Think of it like Netflix or Amazon recommendations. You’ll see one and say, “Oh, of course! I have to watch that now.”

  3. Before the summit ends on Jan. 5, do everything you want to do. Watch videos. Generate certificates of completion. Download notes. Get all the resources and promos and deals. Because when the summit closes on Jan. 5, everything becomes unavailable. We don’t want you to miss out on anything!
