Don't give tech the "main character" energy in your classroom! Partner with it to amplify, reimagine, and deepen 🧠STUDENT thinking. If Ss aren't pushing back on the AI's output, they are ❌NOT partnering with it. 👏Solid reminders #TCEA

🔥Fire pit, ♨️grilling, 🐾doggo, and a little math 🧘‍♀️therapy thanks to @themathguru.bsky.social! I just got it and am almost done. I'm already brainstorming how to partner these practices w digital tools to amplify Ss stories, capture word clouds, and create multimodal mathographies.

Loved popping by Geometry rooms! Sum of 3 offers collaboration, error analysis, and FUN. Can be in #GoogleSheets or on paper! ⭐Bonus? Seeing my old student, now teacher, using a review she experienced in my class. My heart grew 3 sizes & hair is whiter😂.

Tiles are one of the best ways I could get Ss to understand how to complete the square! It really helped them build the algorithmic steps so that we could extend it to multivariables for conic sections or show why the quadratic formula works. #mtbos

Have you tried the 🆕MagicSchoolAI survey generator yet? You can export directly to Forms! Check the pulse for a class, quick exit ticket, or feedback for a PD you give. When you export to Sheets, it now gives you some nice options to analyze the data quickly. WIN! #EduSkyChat

A1: This one was easy! It's got to be #GoogleSlides. It's so much more than a presentation. It's easy to transform into a customized, collaborative task for Ss. I can't resist using Theme Builder to create custom responses for more accessible learning. Content shines, not the tech. #EduSkyChat

A3: I want to 🌊dive into @mirrortalkai.bsky.social & Snorkl more. I'd love to dig into more ways Ss can reflect and get feedback. Mistakes grow those connections & listening to peers can build more connections. I first heard of Snorkl from @ericcurts.bsky.social in his winter AI series. #EduSkyChat

I'm interested in how everyone shares updates, new features, & instructional tips with staff. We run a 📰monthly newsletter w #GoogleSlides on our staff site and post all in a #Wakelet. We try a printed "🚽Potty PD" too but it's a hit or miss. ❓What do you use? How often? wakelet.com/wake/mNhbuE9...

It takes time for Ts. There are a lot of emotions w AI. It helped when we did trainings & a book club to help address concerns & give a space to process. We started with showing how it can save them time, and a few of our Ts are ready for AI literacy w Ss. Lots of cautious optimism, which is nice.

Lauren Hawkins @edtechhawk.bsky.social · 17/11/2024
WOW! 🤖🤝👤Our coaching team loves seeing how our Ts are supporting Ss in their AI literacy by allowing them to seek feedback on their writing using tools like MagicSchoolAI. After their conference, Ss were asked to share their reflections in a collaborative discussion. #AIinEdu #EduSky

I think so! Once you create the Form and export results to a spreadsheet, it should automatically create that formatting. Ts have really enjoyed it, especially if they're not too familiar with sheet functionalities.

Do you know how to choose a layout before inserting a slide from a template by chance? I miss my drop-down [V] I used to have. I use the create custom Themes, so Ss could pick from reloaded templates, but now they have to add a slide first and then change the layout.

One of my favorite visuals to show is stork population and births on the same graph. When they see the positive association, I told students, "Well that settles it! Storks being the babies." 😂 I loved asking Ss to find another example or create their own and share on a discussion board.

Just stumbled upon this when linked a #GoogleSheet to a Form. Automatic options for sorting, filtering, and accessing the Form. I love when tools become more accessible & make it easier to talk about the impact of the data. ⚡️Instant trends, insights, and SO SIMPLE! #GoogleEDU
