The content goal at the Future of Education Technology Conference was to showcase the infinite possibilities and unlimited creativity of students when they are empowered with technology skills— from student produced night time drone shows, class projects in the VR Classroom created in the metaverse to student elementary voices on a keynote, high school students teaching AI literacy and sharing internship opportunities — all to highlight how student futures are enhanced with #edtech! The most beautiful thing in this world is to build something impactful and meaningful for people you care deeply about, that is @fetc for me! Creating a space for administrators and educators to learn in a joyful ecosystem full of creative possibilities & engaging and relevant opportunities is the goal of Future of Education Technology Conference ! This year my focus was empowering all voices and showcasing the incredible work from around the country so it can be scaled to districts & schools with fidelity and #FETC is seen as a launch pad for ideas and technology integration when attendees return to their districts inspired and informed with the support of a connected community! Thank you to our amazing team from marketing, sales, operations, tech team, DA Leadership Institute and District Administration magazine who build an amazing experience that impacts K12 education nationwide! 🧡🔥🧡 Grateful to our 2026 FETC Team: Amanda Holsclaw Amy Dujon Angela Card Barbara Edwards, CMP, SEPC Bianca Maldonado Caliann Mitoulis Christina Arzapalo Diane Eakin Donnie Whitten, Ed.D.

One of my favorite parts of working in education technology is seeing founders & innovators so energized about the next iteration of their products and the impact they can make for students and educators🙌 Grateful to share a beautiful lunch in San Francisco, where I listened to the contagious enthusiasm and the relentless focus on improving teaching & learning, the kind that inspires everyone. At @briskteaching the drive to scale meaningful solutions across the country and create better outcomes for schools is the kind of energy that moves our industry & education forward. 💥💥 I can’t wait to see what’s next at Brisk Beach in Orlando at ISTE coming from Arman Jaffer and Suvi Gluskin and experience the big reveal firsthand.🏝️☀️⛱️👙#BriskBikini 🤣

People ask me how I stay so optimistic. The honest answer: I read the data, not the headlines.

#FETC2027 is for K-12 leaders ready to lead meaningful change. Gain deep insights on AI literacy, student well-being, and edtech integration. 🦾🧑‍🏫🚀

A telltale sign of an ignorant leader is failing to read books. Fiction builds empathy and imagination. Nonfiction boosts concentration and critical thinking. Not reading fuels mental stagnation. Leaders who “don't have time to read” are leaders who don't make time to learn.

The first 25 years you measure success with grades, only to realize that the real value is in learning to learn and critical thinking. The second 25 years you measure success by how much money you made, only to realize that how you spend time, and with whom, is most important. The third 25 years is measured by how many people you helped along the way. Did you leave everyone and everything better than when you found them? Do you have family and friends that love and care about you? The third chapter should be all about living a recommendable life.

This is the Build with Gemini XPRIZE. $2,000,000 in prizes. 90 days. Pick a problem worth solving. Build a profitable business with AI. Grand prize: $500K in cash.

3 Keys to a Happier Life: 1. Love without expectation. 2. Serve without wanting recognition. 3. Care even if others don’t.
