🏔 Classroom to conferences to Colorado

It’s been a wild six months!

  • In December, we put on our annual virtual Ditch Summit for tens of thousands of educators around the world.

  • In January, I returned to the classroom to teach a full load of high school Spanish classes.

  • I presented at the FETC Conference in January, the TCEA Conference in Feburary, and the Learning and the Brain Conference in April … all while teaching full-time.

  • After graduation, I traveled to Texas, Indiana, New Mexico, Tennessee, Utah, and Georgia to work with teachers in June.

  • At the end of June was the big ISTE Conference in Denver … three non-stop days of presentations and meetings! (All of my ISTE resources here)

And because ISTE was in Denver, it coincided beautifully with a Rocky Mountain hiking trip my family and friends were taking. I left the conference and was on a mountain trail the very next day.

And now? It’s time for two things …

1 - Rest! Life slows down considerably in July. (Thank goodness.)

2 - Reflect on my ISTE Conference experience — and share some of my best resources from it with you! Below are full session videos, slides, and other links from ISTE.

🤖 How to use AI to teach and learn

AI for Educators by Matt Miller

All of the buzz at the recent ISTE Conference in Denver was about artificial intelligence in education.

But how can we REALLY use it to teach and learn?

In my book AI for Educators, there’s a whole chapter full of 30 practical ways to use AI in the classroom.

Get concrete ideas you can use in class tomorrow to get started with artificial intelligence.

💼 My best ISTE resources (part 1)

Selfie from the ISTE Conference in Denver

I had a blast at the ISTE Conference in Denver last week. One of my favorite things to do is bring as much of the conference back to you as possible. I want you, my reader, to get as much of the experience as possible!

You can check out all of my ISTE resources — including slides, PDF downloads, and more — on my ISTE resources page. (Feel free to share with others!)

Today, I’ll share full session video from FOUR of my vendor hall presentations — in the Figma (FigJam), Diffit, and ScreenPal booths.

I have other videos coming — including the full video of a fantastic panel I got to join on artificial intelligence. Watch for those next week!

📺 2 Sessions: FigJam by Figma

Presentation from the Figma booth at ISTE

I presented two sessions on Monday AND on Tuesday about FigJam, the fantastic collaborative whiteboard app by Figma.

(Note: Audio is hard to capture on the ISTE vendor hall floor! I did my best. Please no angry comments about audio quality. Thanks.)

📺 Session: Dive into Diffit with Matt

Presentation from the Diffit booth at ISTE

I presented this short session with my favorite features of Diffit, a differentiated classroom materials site.

(Note: Audio is hard to capture on the ISTE vendor hall floor! I did my best. Please no angry comments about audio quality. Thanks.)

📺 Session: Learn Like a YouTuber with ScreenPal

Presentation from the ScreenPal booth at ISTE

I presented this session with ScreenPal: Learn Like a YouTuber, where learning activities can feel like students’ favorite videos and creators from YouTube, TikTok, and more.

(Note: Audio is hard to capture on the ISTE vendor hall floor! I did my best. Please no angry comments about audio quality. Thanks.)
