The forgetting curve! What an interesting thought, to ask students to consciously decide what they can forget. I’m wondering if that process would cause to them remember more than even the ones they chose. www.facebook.com/reel/1625957...

New map layers by @stadiamaps.com coming to LEARN's Cartograf application in the fall. Love the "dark" layer for students to better see their "Simple Maps" (cartes schématiques) rather than using the old dull blank canvas! Other great map layer functions to follow. Can't wait!

A great example of a teacher using AI to create subject specific videos for elementary history. In French, but great for second language students as well because of the visuals and the clear explanations. youtu.be/lwKM-a3Suj8?... check out all her other videos as well.

Using the 5W‘s and variations on it to interpret paintings. That is, personal connections are important too. Personally I think this can be partially true of historical documents as well and I think it’s what’s missing in our history courses. www.facebook.com/share/v/18PU...

True study/interpretation or not, I thought the ending line was quite interesting, that when you use an AI, you should get it to challenge you and keep you thinking. I’m sure you could add that as customization to your prompts or settings to keep you thinking! www.facebook.com/reel/4251349...
