I had fun doing this, thanks for challenging me to post everyday, not sure how social media people do it to be honest, you now have to get @mrmatera.bsky.social on here to like all my #EMC2Learning posts!
Day 31: Another great review game from #EMC2Learning Territory Takedown, students love the choice options of this review game, it allows all students an entry point and the power-ups can be a real game changer for any team! @mrmatera.bsky.social @meehanedu.bsky.social #EDUsky
Honored to share that I’ve been selected to join the Pulitzer Center’s Information & AI Teacher Advisory Council! I’ll be working with amazing educators & journalists across the country to explore AI, ethics, and accountability in education. #AIed #PulitzerCenter #EMC2Learning #EDUsky
Teachers: as the annual #BitcoinConference is currently underway this week in Las Vegas... two questions:
1. Do you personally own any Bitcoin?
2. Do you ever have occasion to introduce anything about Bitcoin as part of any of the curriculum you currently teach?

On a Peloton workout today and heard the instructor drop a pretty amazing mantra.
“You deserve more than easy.”
In an age of so much artificial, this is a powerful reminder that real work is often hard work - isn’t just about finding the fastest shortcut. #EMC2Learning #EDUsky
Coming soon from #EMC2Learning! Honored to develop real, relevant, and RIGOROUS resources to help teachers discover the power of play in their classrooms.
One thousand plus resources and counting! #EDUsky
Day 29: Releasing my last two cards for Free Card Friday in my gamified class to help those guilds and players finish strong! Love these #EMC2Learning comic card templates! @meehanedu.bsky.social @mrmatera.bsky.social #EDUsky
Day 28: We used Color Me Creative from #EMC2Learning as our activity in Text Quest today, students had to create nail polish that went with a scene from their book, the twist - the winner of the previous challenge got to pick a colour that each group couldn't use! @meehanedu.bsky.social #EDUsky
At the (brick and mortar) bank & need to tell a (flesh and blood) banker why I’d like to wire a chunk of my (fiat) currency.
How many of these things will not exist in the same capacity in 20 years?
What are schools doing to prepare our students for their future? #EMC2Learning #EDUsky
Day 27: When I find an #EMC2Learning activity that my students really like I try to get everything printed in colour and laminated so that I can use them over and over again! @mrmatera.bsky.social @meehanedu.bsky.social #EDUsky

Google's doodle today is a simple, subtle, and classy way to honor the fallen and commemorate this day where we remember those who've made the ultimate sacrifice.
How can we, as teachers, bring similar intentionality into worthy causes within our lesson design? #EMC2Learning #EDUsky
Day 25: #EMC2Learning has Gamified their intro to their site for new and experienced EMC2 users, I've been with them since launch but I've started Teacher Quest to get ideas and try resources that I haven't used yet, first up Candy Bar Challenge! @meehanedu.bsky.social @mrmatera.bsky.social #EDUsky
Which educator accounts on this platform do you find to be the most interesting and important? #EMC2Learning #EDUsky
Yes! If the lessons are intentional and student-centered, the answer is yes, it can be both. #EDUsky #emc2learning
Day 24: New to #EMC2Learning try one of their Penny Pedagogies like Upside Down Understanding, students get the chance to dream up an alternate universe for information they’ve learned in class, think of it as adding a little multiverse fun to your classroom! @meehanedu.bsky.social #EDUsky
They say your favorite class is the one where that you like the most. But your best class is the one where you learn the most.
Do you thing it is possible for a single class to be BOTH of those things? And if so, how?

Teachers:
How do you feel about receiving PD content that has *clearly* been generated almost entirely by AI?
(Podcasts, blog posts, form emails)
Now let’s apply the same standard to students on the receiving end of our lesson plans.
We all deserve better.

Day 21: My Grade 5s are learning about a Canadian First Nation of their choosing using Triple Threat Throwdown from #EMC2Learning students used sketchnotes, Story Dice and Lego to show their learning. Every single student was engaged in learning! @meehanedu.bsky.social @mrmatera.bsky.social #EDUsky
Hard at work on new resources for #EMC2Learning. Love designing activities that challenge our students to fuse content knowledge with creativity so we can create EPIC learning experiences that last! #EDUsky
