Most of shared resources are new

Not all free

AI is Mixed In

Feel Free to Share with Peers or Use for Presentations

It’s getting harder to find good stuff!

Happy to discuss more sites after conference

What Am I Seeing Out There

  • AI is everywhere and in almost everything, so navigating the good tools from slop is ongoing.
  • Every year there are less tools that I would recommend
  • More gamification tools
  • More tools to make things “personal” mostly AI
  • We still very much have a digital divide
  • Hard to keep up with all the cool tech and train yourselves in it
  • Ethics and the use of all of this tech
  • Must address environmental effects of tech and AI
  • I am noticing a push back toward lower or less tech, analog, personal communication, non smart devices and much more.
