🎉 Celebrate Juneteenth with Bluum! 🎉 Today, we honor the resilience, strength, and contributions of the African American community. Juneteenth marks the historic day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in the United States were finally freed, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. At Bluum, we believe in the power of education and technology to create a more inclusive and equitable world. As we commemorate this important day, let's reflect on the progress made and the work still needed to ensure equality for all. Join us in celebrating freedom, diversity, and the spirit of Juneteenth! 🌟 #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Bluum #Equality #Diversity #Education #EdTech

🎮 The Ever-Growing Demand for Esports Labs in Schools: A Worthy Investment? 🏫 In today's digital age, engaging students in meaningful ways is more crucial than ever. Enter esports labs: a modern solution to enhance student engagement, reduce absenteeism, and foster a sense of community and teamwork. Why Esports Labs? 1. Student Engagement: Esports provides an exciting platform that resonates with many students. By integrating gaming with education, schools can capture the interest of students who might otherwise feel disconnected. 2. Reducing Absenteeism: Engaged students are more likely to attend school. Esports can motivate students to stay committed and participate regularly. 3. Skill Development: Beyond gaming, esports teaches valuable skills such as strategic thinking, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. 4. Career Opportunities: The esports industry is booming, offering diverse career paths in fields such as game design, marketing, event management, and more. Is it Worth the Investment? Absolutely! Investing in esports labs is not just about creating gaming arenas. It’s about preparing students for future opportunities, enhancing their learning experience, and building a vibrant, inclusive school culture.

🔍 Highlights from the Council of the Great City Schools (CGCS) Conference 📊 The event is spectacular! Here are some of our notes and key takeaways. Do you have any others you would like to share? 🎓Many conversations are centering around budget cuts & declining enrollment. Schools are consolidating due to budget constraints and reduced student numbers. 💡 Emotional Intelligence in Data-Driven Futures "People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care." Focus on growing your strengths rather than worrying about weaknesses. 🤖 Embracing AI in Education Your job might not be replaced by AI, but by someone who knows AI better. Teachers seek practical AI use cases in classrooms over policies and guidelines 🌐 Navigating the AI Frontier Featured Speaker: Richard Charles, CIO of Denver Public Schools. Emotional Intelligence for AI (EIAI): Training rollout on AI to empower students. Topics: AI safety, security, data protection, and governance. Action Item: Connect with Richard for involvement opportunities. 🛡️ Defending Against Cybersecurity Threats AI can be a tool for scammers—awareness is crucial. Digital citizenship needs renewed focus. Positives: Decline in phishing, helpful analytics from hardware manufacturers. 100% of attendees admitted to struggling with their AI ecosystem. Districts find it challenging to keep up with the fast pace of AI advancements. 🔗 #CGCSConference #CGCS #EdTech #AIinEducation #Cybersecurity #EmotionalIntelligence #DigitalCitizenship
