Look what my principal dropped off to me today, will be reading this next, after I finish my current book! (Plus the note from my principal, it's sometimes the littlest things that can make a big difference in the culture of your school!) @meehanedu.bsky.social @mrmatera.bsky.social

Finished up #ITCamp at @mme-mccarthy.bsky.social session on Cardboard Creations in the Classroom, as we were challenged to create a sustainable city, my contribution was the windmill and coded a @microbit.org to light it up! #EDUsky

@mrmatera.bsky.social If I have to talk about one thing that is working in my classroom, it's always #EMCLearning! #ITCamp2025 #EDUsky

Big thanks to Joseph Chaisson and his session "Level Up Learning: Gimkit's Daily Grind to AI-Enhanced Mastery" now I know to create a class to speed up student login and have all my students names so reviewing reports will be so much faster! #ITCamp2025 @gimkit.com

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

Day 30: My Grade 5s learned about the harmful effects of homophobia today and what it means to be a LGBTQ+ ally, then they created pins after learning what my rainbow pin means and why I wear it everyday to school, some very creative pin designs! #EDUsky

I'd love to do a collaborative project with you on this idea of power-ups, I'd love to get my class to design some elementary level power-ups to go with Track-Attack that matches all your themes, I think this is something my students would go crazy on, let me know if you agree and have the time!!!

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

Mr. Kehoe @mrkehoe.bsky.social · 28/05/2025
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

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

Day 22: I haven't used AI to create lesson plans but I have put my math outcomes and indicators into AI and asked "I have _ days to cover _ what would I teach and in what order would I teach so skills build on each other" then I go over it to ensure it makes sense! #EDUsky

That's why I love #EMC2Learning your resources are all about UDL, our principal was starting to lead us in that direction but she is leaving at the end of the school year so not sure if it will continue, but I try to bring UDL to my lessons/units, it's a slow roll out but an important one! #EDUsky

Mr. Kehoe @mrkehoe.bsky.social · 18/05/2025
Day 17: I totally agree as well, that's why I am teaching my students how to use AI that is built into programs like Canva and @schoolai.com plus students love that instant feedback and the challenge of knowing what they want and then having to work at making it a reality through refinement! #EDUsky

Mr. Kehoe @mrkehoe.bsky.social · 17/05/2025
Day 16: How is #EMC2Learning like Lego? Take a bigger activity like Text Quest and you can add in a smaller activity like a Hero Builder into the Text Quest, making learning fun and engaging!!! This is what I did today! @mrmatera.bsky.social @meehanedu.bsky.social #EDUsky

Mr. Kehoe @mrkehoe.bsky.social · 16/05/2025
Day 15: Used #EMC2Learning Story Dice for the first time this year (won't wait this long next year!) and got them to look at a Storyworks article about this old lunch box selling for over ten thousand dollars, really thing they understand the power of Story Dice now! @meehanedu.bsky.social #EDUsky

Day 14: Getting all the students' 3D designed wrenches ready, I gamified this by using a vignette about coming across a tressure chest that needs to be opened, if students' wrenches can turn the bolt (all bolts are different sizes) they get the treasures inside! @meehanedu.bsky.social #EDUsky

Mr. Kehoe @mrkehoe.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

Day 12: I'm working with a pre-service teacher and we have been talking about assessment so I introduced her to #EMC2Learning Single Point Rubric! That's right they also have great templete that can help you assess your students or get them involved in the process too! @meehanedu.bsky.social #EDUSky

Mr. Kehoe @mrkehoe.bsky.social · 12/05/2025
Day 11: Since I started gamifying I have had Mistwraith that takes away a space for an item card from a student's card holder, they have asked "How do I remove it?" years later, a student designed a card to solve that very problem!!! @meehanedu.bsky.social @mrmatera.bsky.social #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

Day 8: I'm FOR AI in our schools. The talented @lkennedy37.bsky.social from our Technology Integration Lead Team(TILT) came to my class to show my students how to use the AI image generator on #Canva so they could use it to create images for their picture book biographies! #EDUsky
