๐Ÿฆ‹ Q3: For teacher use, NotebookLM as a way to integrate and customize existing resources, examine data, and generate audio podcasts to introduce resources!

For student use, MagicStudent as a way to introduce AI to students in a way that lets teachers remain in control!

Hi Alice! Do you have an addon that lets me take a template google sheet (or doc/slides) and create & share a copy with each student? Hopefully retaining ownership and keeping all of the files in the same folder? I've been using Autocrat for this process, but I felt like you had a better solution?

My district has SMART IFPs as well and I've really grown to like some of the features of Lumio. It's not perfect (authoring within Lumio is really bad), but I like that we can assign groups of students, embed PDFs, and modify a lesson on the fly based on Formative Assessment. #edusky #edtech

This afternoon's session - Student Engagement and Discourse with Desmos was a huge success!

Tons of great discussions, lesson planning, and exploration for secondary math teachers! #EduSky

Over the next two weeks we'll help onboard 200+ new teachers, train two groups of administrators, visit at least 10 campuses to do more scheduled trainings, facilitate sessions for every content coordinator, and look good doing it the whole time!

I love my team and wouldn't trade them for anything!

It's been a busy first three weeks back at work! We've already hosted 5 different days of professional learning for teachers along with an online course that's had 250+ participants! Last Thursday was our biggest event yet - Nest Fest '23 where the 7 of us hosted 36 sessions with 100+ attendees! ๐ŸŽ

A thought leader and mind reader man in a blue shirt with a black vest promises to asphyxiate you with close-up magic, parlor magic, storytelling, and improvisational comedy for free after the public library closes on June 30th.

Your image alt-text is the best!

I got this in my email from the local library last month that gave similar vibes.

What's the competition like for premier sleight of hand magician in Mansfield? What happens at an after-hours magic show at the public library?

Don't be afraid to ask questions. Lots of questions.

Make friends with the office staff.

Make connections with people outside your dept.

Don't take things students say personally.

Your school district needs you just as much as you need them (maybe more).

Google Classroom Student centered teaching with Google Classroom - resources including blog posts, ideas, tutorials, and more by EdTech integration expert Alice Keeler.

@alicekeeler.com has tons of great resources for GC on her site!

Matt Miller also has some good beginning resources on ditchthattextbook.com/google

Depending on if your district has the free version or the edu package, there are some really nice new tools coming for GC! https://bit.ly/3Dzx4bz

Catlin Tucker's Balance with Blended Learning was an eye-opener full of actionable things I could do to make my classroom more student centered. I wish I'd had it earlier in my career.

Learn Me Good by John Pearson is a really sweet book if you want to reset your mindset.

I just led a PL session with science teachers in my district where they learned about the power of MasteryPaths!

It was one of the best sessions I've ever been a part of!

The teachers had great conversations, collaborated, and came away with lessons they can implement immediately!

In my classroom, almost everything we did was project-based learning so the 4Cs were always front and center.

I loved including "extra-credit" challenges that required extra thinking and would always have "do something amazing related to this" as the last extra-credit option. #EDUsky

I have an a new team at work this year, and after just two days, I'm ready to run through a wall for them.

The brains, positivity, ideas, and fun from them makes me so excited for what we'll accomplish this year!

Teams feeds off of each other's energy, positive or negative!

The coaches loved it and wanted us to come and do it with PLCs at the start of this year.

We also played it as a "who's line is it anyway" style game at ESC11 at one of the last Canvas User Group meetups. We had folks from different districts all coming up with very cool ideas!

We then kicked it up a notch with an APP-SMASH where we spun for 2+ tools and challenged them to come up with a way to incorporate those into a lesson. It was a lot of fun and a great way to introduce features of tools that they might not have been familiar with or that they don't use regularly!

Wheel of Names Enter names, spin wheel to pick a random winner. Customize look and feel, save and share wheels.

My team at work played a game last year with instructional coaches where we spun a wheel of names with a variety of edtech tools, spun for a content area, and then challenged them to come up with a way that tool could create a more engaging 4Cs-focused lesson. #EDUsky

That's a great point about online class discussions. I definitely agree with you. Your points make a lot of sense and show a good understanding of this.

Thanks for sharing!"

Hi Tisha! Glad to see you over here! I'm in UNT's LTEC program currently and mentioned you and Wakelet the other day in a discussion with some other students when we were talking about cool edtech tools that foster collaboration and communication!

I work in digital learning, so we're on a 215 day contract!

When I was still in the classroom, by mid-July I'd start going in for an hour or two a couple days a week to clean up all the messes I'd left for "Future Charles" (that guy HATED "Past Charles"). ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yep! June 9th - July 10th! The first day of new teacher orientation is August 1st so we're 3 weeks before them (returning teachers are back the following week).

It's nice that we're back early enough that we can offer a few Summer PD offerings without us having to do it while we're off-contract.

We had some movement and changes to the size of our team since the end of last year so we're going to sit down and figure out roles, campus assignments, etc, and then start to communicate all of that with other depts.

Plus, we're delivering trainings on Wed and Thurs! It'll be a busy week!
