It’s the best feeling when a teacher takes what you share and masters it! Ms. Palmer-Rhoden @JohnRLewisElem1 is crushing it with @BookCreatorApp in her classroom! She said, “Using it, I can get all my students to do their work—even the ones who never do anything!” #MicDrop🎤👇

We added video filters to Padlet. Because sometimes you need to look professional, and sometimes you need to look like you’re snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean. Just open the video recorder to start playing! 🤿🐟 #EduSky

Yesterday in Mrs. Gilliam’s 6th-grade class at @Miller_Magnet , I modeled how to use @CanvaEdu for National History Day projects. I was met with lots of ‘ahhhs’ and ‘ooohs’ as students explored their creativity. Inspiring moments like these make teaching with tech so rewarding!
