Padlet TA now makes interactive activities like sorting and sequencing, plus printables like coloring sheets. Try them out at ta.padlet.com or browse our library of examples at teach.link/ta-examples.

Seems like teachers who are looking for their PLC peers are here (migrated from Twitter), LinkedIn is where all the influencers and evangelists go to speak in hyperbole, and Reddit is a dark dark place where burnt out teachers hide behind anonymity to absolutely dump out out all their frustrations.

Pretty wild comparing the teaching content posted here vs. LinkedIn vs. Reddit hahaha #EduSky

“Ultimately, UDL has transformed how I teach and how my students learn … In a kindergarten classroom, where every day is full of discovery and unpredictability, UDL provides the structure and mindset to embrace learner variability as a strength.” —Lauren Moore, Kindergarten Teacher and Doctoral Student

Teaching Students to Use Chunking to Tackle Complex Problems Middle and high school teachers can show students how to break projects into smaller parts to support their ability to manage their work.

Teaching students how to break a project into manageable pieces can:

🤝 Build collaboration and problem-solving skills
🎒 Increase student ownership
🌼 Cultivate rich classroom community

@criticalskills1.bsky.social and Nelia Rath share a how-to guide.

One math problem where you can see a student’s thought process is worth so much more than a whole worksheet full of problems. You can properly give feedback too, because you can respond to their thought process and not just its result.

🎮 Think video games are just playtime? Think again.
They boost memory, focus, creativity—and even SEL.

Let’s talk power-ups in the classroom ⬇️

Have you used Canva’s code with me feature? Just curious how they compare. I’ve never used Gemini for this but it looks like it has similar limitations as Canva in terms of the graphics it can code. I’ve used Canva Code to make a lot of Breakout Clues. #EduSky

I saw that post at the top of my feed just a few minutes ago! I didn’t read it closely though- I was just on my way to the LinkedIn puzzles, which are dope. #EduSky

Confluence Family Feud! Your responses will be part of the final show at Confluence 2025

I know it would be way harder than it’s worth, but it would be a cool inroad to percentage and probability if students could see a list of their chance block results at the end of a game. Would make for great bragging too #EduSky

This is super simple and super fun. Random chaos that is absolutely perfect for that 5th/6th grade mentality. I would love to be a part of the meetings for new game ideas. Game design is such a pure form of creativity.

💎 A new mode — what are the chances?

Get ready to test your luck in Diamond Rush! In this mode, the player with the most diamonds wins it all. But to get diamonds, you’ll need knowledge, strategy, and a lot of luck!

Diamond Rush is available to play now!

Our district has Magic School so I mostly use that #EduSkyAI

I also think there is so much focus on the negative possibilities, that the best thing I can do is share as much as possible about the positive, pro-learning possibilities, to help balance the discussion. #EduSkyAI

A4: so many things, but Canva’s new AI coding feature has absolutely taken over my brain. I’ve been able to generate so many interactive games, widgets, breakout clues, etc. that just wouldn’t be possible otherwise: levelupedtech.my.canva.site/cyberpunk-2d...

#EduSkyAI

A3: I start every PD I offer by saying “I reserve the right to change my mind about AI” because there are so many complex questions floating around this technology and I don’t want to be an obstacle to my own critical thinking. #EduSkyAI

A1: it is a catalyst that keeps my ideas developing. It is so much easier to consider, compare, and come up with ideas when you’re not starting from a blank page. I’m always asking for lists of things to give me a jumpstart when my brain bogs down. #EduSkyAI

A2: I love using customized chatbots as game facilitators: D&D style quests, Heads Up style vocab guessing games, who-dunnit mysteries with chatbots as suspects, etc. so many creative possibilities and a new medium for creation #EduSkyAI

It’s so easy for students to make a quick interactive to demonstrate what they’ve learned or to help quiz their peers.

If you haven't checked out Flippity you should. Tons of games you can customize Bingo, Tic Tac Toe, Matching and more.
Plus, for fans of the NY Times Connections game, there is a game where you can customize your own
