The spider graph visual rubric from @meehanedu.bsky.social is a wonderful way to change it up and get students to reflect on performance in a new way.

Teachers: as the annual #BitcoinConference is currently underway this week in Las Vegas... two questions:
1. Do you personally own any Bitcoin?
2. Do you ever have occasion to introduce anything about Bitcoin as part of any of the curriculum you currently teach?

On a Peloton workout today and heard the instructor drop a pretty amazing mantra.
“You deserve more than easy.”
In an age of so much artificial, this is a powerful reminder that real work is often hard work - isn’t just about finding the fastest shortcut. #EMC2Learning #EDUsky
Coming soon from #EMC2Learning! Honored to develop real, relevant, and RIGOROUS resources to help teachers discover the power of play in their classrooms.

Guesses on the new name?
“QuizAi” feels like it’s almost too obvious. 🤔 #Edusky
At the (brick and mortar) bank & need to tell a (flesh and blood) banker why I’d like to wire a chunk of my (fiat) currency.
How many of these things will not exist in the same capacity in 20 years?
What are schools doing to prepare our students for their future? #EMC2Learning #EDUsky
Track Attack is a HOOT! Wondering if we might be able to create an expansion pack with even more Mario Kart style power-up items that students can snag throughout the gameplay. 🤓

Google's doodle today is a simple, subtle, and classy way to honor the fallen and commemorate this day where we remember those who've made the ultimate sacrifice.
How can we, as teachers, bring similar intentionality into worthy causes within our lesson design? #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

They say your favorite class is the one where that you like the most. But your best class is the one where you learn the most.
Do you thing it is possible for a single class to be BOTH of those things? And if so, how?

Teachers:
How do you feel about receiving PD content that has *clearly* been generated almost entirely by AI?
(Podcasts, blog posts, form emails)
Now let’s apply the same standard to students on the receiving end of our lesson plans.
We all deserve better.

After a thousand resources, it’s hard to keep track! 😅
