I love this book because it is absolutely tool agnostic. He is not selling you anything. Love or hate AI, it's here. Matt is promoting awareness & literacy for all students & teachers, which is something I can get behind! Tagging @ditchthattextbook.com @karlymoura.com #EduSky #TLSky #Skybrarian

"Although it once seemed like a good idea to give every child his or her own device, it’s clear that those policies have been a failure." I don't agree with everything here but I do worry a lot about the % of a school day a student is staring at a personal device... www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/o...

From letmeknowhowitgoes on IG: “Played around with a little something today. Yesterday, I was talking to teachers about how we might help students to notice when they are distracted and name the distraction as a way to mindfully pivot. I played around with this student-facing chart today.” #EduSky
Drawing titled “I’m having a hard time learning because …” with six boxes showing different distractions in class. The window: Drawing of a classroom window showing trees and a playground. Classmates: Students sitting at desks and chatting. Classroom noise: A large ear with sound waves and an exclamation point. Materials: A student playing with scissors and a paper airplane. Daydreaming: A student at a desk imagining a beach and rollercoaster inside a thought cloud. Other: Miscellaneous classroom items like sanitizer, tissues, a broken pencil, and a beeping alarm.Drawing titled “To get myself back into learning I can …” with six boxes showing strategies for regaining focus. Move my body or space: A student moving to a new spot in the classroom. Set a goal: A target with goals written on it, like “Do 1 more problem” or “Read 10 pages.” Take a quick break: A clock with text “Take 5!” Find a ‘silent teacher’: Classroom resources like notebooks, posters, and anchor charts. Make a plan: A planner with assignments and to-do lists. Other: Headphones, fidget toys, and a student using a desk divider.

We can’t always be in the room - But M2 can. M2 quietly collects bite-sized feedback on key teaching practices - engagement, questioning, & pacing, without requiring a full, formal observation. It's an extra set of eyes, observing so teachers can review on their own time. #EduSky

It is really really difficult right now to focus on the learning/classroom with all else going on in education that is absolutely disgusting in terms of the short-term and long-term consequences for children.

There’s a coaching truth we rarely say out loud: time is tight. How do we create space for teachers to think, process, and grow — when we barely have space ourselves? That’s where tools like M2 change the game. 🧑‍🏫 #EduSky www.swivl.com/2025/07/31/t...
