I just read “15 Tips to Align Your Teaching With Brain Sciences” WOW many reminders that learning sticks when students retrieve, reflect, and struggle productively, no when they just listen. 🧠🤯

Integrating Spontaneous Learning Into Pre-K Curriculum Teachers can use moments when children express curiosity as entry points to foster deep learning within planned lessons.

New article in Edutopia ✨

In preschool classrooms, some of the most powerful learning moments are unplanned.
A child’s question, a conflict, a sudden discovery, these are not interruptions but invitations.

I saw a session by this author at ISTE a few years ago. It was fantastic and I encouraged her to write an article for #edutopia. I’m so glad she did. I try to channel my inner Mr Rogers along with a splash of Bill Nye! 🤷‍♂️

Middle schoolers thrive when we hit the “struggle sweet spot”—not too much support, not too little.

How do you decide when to scaffold and when to release?

Your First Step into SEL through TTRPGs - MarkEzraStokes.com Tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) can serve as powerful tools for social-emotional learning (SEL). I made this bold claim in my last blog post. When the TTRPG is rules-lite and optimized for collaborative storytelling (like Ealdsmyth)...

What if your classroom, advisory group, or youth group had a tool that built empathy and made students excited to participate?

Spoiler: It might have polyhedral dice.

I don’t recall from ISTE what the best and safe AI image generators would be for using with primary student students. I would help them do the searching on my machine and would post it to Seesaw on their iPads to use as inspiration. Does anyone have any solid recommendations? #EduInFocus #Edutopia

After that, using AI to create images from student prompts to help writing inspiration and motivation. I saw some great images at ISTI created from a couple of short prompts. I could imagine my primary students looking at their creations & being more inspired to write stories. #EduInFocus #Edutopia
