K-12 teachers - please help with a new study! My colleagues and I are exploring how teachers engage in lesson planning in the age of AI...and we are looking for teachers who would be willing to fill out a brief survey for us: umassamherst.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #k12 #edtech #aiinedu
Flyer from the University of Massachusetts Amherst recruiting participants for a research study. Top left shows the UMass Amherst circular seal and the words “University of Massachusetts Amherst.” Large maroon headline on a white background reads, “Research Study: Lesson Planning in the Age of AI.” Below that is smaller text: “Make an impact by sharing your insights on AI in lesson planning—your voice matters!” A bulleted checklist lists study benefits: “Quick & easy,” “Shape the future,” “Completely confidential,” “Enter to win a prize,” and “Free access to GenAI education resource website.” At the bottom left is a maroon rounded button with the short link tinyurl.com/ailessonplansurvey.

On the other site, I had saved a really great thread where I had asked T’s share their favorite resources as an alternative to TPT. Can we do that here? I’ll start some off in the comments ⬇️⬇️ #edusky #iteach #blackedusky
