15 year old chromebook that's broken? No problem! Today my student figured out how to use a control board and created a new portable monitor. Next: designing and 3d printing a solution for a base. Go SPHS CSHS! #cshs #ewastereduction @CultureOfRepair #makered #repaired

We're developing games for the teacher I met in Senegal to help learn English. Excited to see the three chosen to get published! Here's in progress work. #gamedesign #fullbright #intercultural #education #beyondtheclassroom

What if AI isn't the enemy of learning to code but one of the best tools we can give students? Dr. Beth Simon & Dr. Kate Lockwood talk about a new CSTA course charting a practical middle path: free tools, simple frameworks, stronger thinkers. #onevoiceincs #csta soundcloud.com/user-4914137...

Logan finished our CSHS video for community week and it is perfect! #CSHS Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5ti... #spsdme #celebratestudents #communitywork

New: From tinkering on an Omega computer in rural NC to building K-12 data literacy for every student. Mahmoud Harding's take on AI? It's like giving a chef better pans: elevates expertise, doesn't replace it. soundcloud.com/user-4914137... #onevoiceincs #csta

As I study how AI impacts coding, I've developed another teacher tool. A free way to set up and organize groups with student input on roles. NO student data collected! Easy to use! If you use groups in your classes- here: groupupclass.lovable.app #teacherapp #aiinedu

Love when 3D prints help the school! Designed and in use for the custodians. A cap for the pipe to hold the net in place: replacing the need for zip ties getting trashed every swap. #reduse #3dprinting #3dprintsforgood #spsdme #engineeringdesigns

Students from the CSHS will be presenting in a panel about AI Successes, Failures & Tips at Frost Forward Online Technology Conference! Open to anyone. Here's the registration link: forms.gle/RrNudktkwgaFfCj39 #studentpresentions #spsdme #cstamaine #cshs

Excited to be able to work with teachers around the country on awesome events like #CSTA2026! Can't wait to see people again in July! #csta #cstamaine #teachingCS

SPHS CSHS at the community repair fair! We fixed items, shared what we do, and met a lot of people in the community. #cshs #studentleaders #repair #reducewaste #ewaste @CultureOfRepair @projectlogin

Time to do some community events! SPHS CSHS will be presenting a maker workshop! Learn 3D printing Mon March 2nd from 3:30-5pm. Free entry! All supplies included! SPHS room 250. #communityevent #3dprinting #sphscshs #cshs #sphs #spsdme

How do you build the world's largest K-12 CS educator community? Ask Jake, @CSTeachersOrg Executive Director, who help grow CSTA! "Behind every confident student is an empowered teacher." #csta #onevoiceincs #csforall

NEA article out today with a video including student voice! LOVE when my students can be heard nationally. #Aiintheclassroom #AIineducation www.nea.org/nea-today/al... #csta #cstahonorsociety #cseducation

Excited for next semester: I have a student who will be doing an ELO which involves design, business creation, website, computerized embroidery, and learning more sewing techniques. Technology is an amazing tool to work with! #bestjob #spsdme #elo #sewingandtechnology #csed

Building an arcade machine and then having students code the games ON the machine. It's been a fun process! Wish I took more pictures of it in progress. Like when students wired it...! #cshs #steameducation #makered #cs #mainecsta

Our CS Week Plans are live! Who's excited for CS Week?! We're excited for CS Week! #csweek2025 #cseducation #hourofcode #spsdme #mainecsta

Students learning how to use drones for video footage. What a skill to practice in HS! #videoproductions #spsdme #bestjobever

I love seeing video productions students learning how to form crews, use equipment, and get amazing videos done! #videoproductions #spsdme #sphs

One of the best labs! SFX makeup with Gwen- students learning practical effects just before Halloween. Always a fun day! #videoclassroom #engagedlearning #specialeffects

Physical copies of the repair book are now available! (it's free online bit.ly/riotrefurb - but want to support it and get a limited copy? :) ) Order here: square.link/u/99fFrzpm #studentrepair #cshs #riotrefurb

I am learning about AI coding. The limitations, what it means for teaching coding, and benefits. I've been tinkering and created an app for myself to use. What if anyone could create apps they wanted more easily? #whatif #codingwithai teacher-translator.lovable.app

Love to see what students create- here's the first logo / laser project of this semester! We have laser users at SPHS! #laser #makered #designthinking #spsdme #studentart

The favorite part of my job is watching students create. We started with 3D printing in Digital Graphics- and here are some photos of finished work! #3dprinting #3dart #everyoneprints

I remain excited and optimistic about how AI can be used as a tool and assistant to creativity and development. www.edweek.org/technology/a... #aiintheclassroom #AIforedu #cstamaine

Tried a new way to introduce storyboarding- had students form groups and try to ID famous storyboards. It was fun to watch and a great intro to an important step in production. (Also: nothing better than a student labeling Sound of Music Apocalypse Now. Guess they both have war? ;) )
