AI’s not a replacement for teachers, says the founder of Khan Academy and Khanmigo. Instead, it can free them up to do what they do best. 🧑‍🏫 buff.ly/I7tnMq6 #EdTech #EduSkyAI

Did you know that you can use Chat GPT to help you create rubrics for student activities? 🤯 Generative AI has been a HUGE time-saver for me. Yes, I still edit everything & customize it for my specific needs, but AI has saved me countless HOURS in terms of productivity. #edtech #EduSky

Break up the monotony of note taking by adding activities to your slide decks! Today a parent called this an "ADHD dream come true." 🙂 Where was this when I was a kid? #edtech #EduSky @lexilobdell.bsky.social

One of my favorite things about #chatgpt is that it helps me come up with sample sentences and paragraphs that I can tweak for student handouts--HUGE time-saver! Today, I used it to create sample titles using different techniques that I recommend. 😍 #EduSky #edtech #ELAteacher
