2023 Year-in-Review

It's hard to believe that the year is coming to an end. If time flies when you are having fun, then I must have really been enjoying this year.

And I did!

This year was filled with wonderful experiences, time spent with family and friends, lots of travel, and many, many trainings, videos, and posts.

As a way to wrap up the year, I decided to pull together some of the stats and highlights from 2023 including:

✍️ Top Blog Posts
▶️ YouTube Stats
🎓 PD Sessions
📰 Newsletter Stats

📧 Email Discussion Group Stats

💬 Facebook Group Stats

🎬 Bonus: Favorite Movies and Shows

These are not just numbers however. They are representations of people who have gone on this learning journey with me, folks who have connected in person or virtually, and ultimately educators and students who have been impacted and have impacted me.

Thanks so much for learning with me, and I am looking forward to learning more with you in 2024!

EdTech Cool Tools - Honorable Mentions

Throughout the month of December I shared my "Cool Tools 2023" series where we explored some of the year's best tools for teaching and learning.

This year we focused on artificial intelligence tools and how they can be used in schools.

You can access all of the cool tools in the series as they come out at bit.ly/cool-tools-23 and in this Google Slideshow.

With all the amazing AI tools available, it just isn't possible to fit them all in a list of twenty-four. And it seems like there are new tools coming out every day! So as an extra bonus to the "Cool Tools 2023" series I am listing other AI tools that I wasn't able to cover as Honorable Mentions.

Some of these are favorites that I have used, while others are newer to me and I am still needing to explore them more. And of course this list is still far from complete.

Please let me know what is still missing from the list. I will come back to this post periodically to add more tools that I come across or that get recommended to me.

My ISTE 2024 Sessions

I am excited and honored to once again present at the 2024 ISTE Conference in Denver this June 22nd through 26th.

You can attend ISTE in person this year, or take part as a virtual attendee. Registration opens in January. To get more details and register for the conference go to:

Below is a list of sessions I will be presenting at the ISTE Conference, along with any associated resources. I will continue to update this list with any changes and additions to my schedule.
