Love the new Chrome Reading Mode feature that reads the content for you. Looks like it's just starting to push. I have Chrome Version 142.0.7444.52 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows. #GoogleEDU #EduSky

Side note - I wish they'd show male or less binary examples in their documentation. Just sayin'...

Enemies Project When our viewing audience witnesses "enemies" connecting as human beings, their own enemy trances can be broken. The Enemies Project brings together individuals from opposing sides to share their sto...

Watching a segment of www.enemiesproject.org - where a pro life man and a pro choice woman have a sit down. Tough to watch, but seeing the human side of people whose ideas are so against what you believe in (at least initially), is powerful. Curious about how students would respond. #EduSky

Love slow-reveal graphs!

Pedagogy resources We've developed 12 pedagogy principles based on up-to-date evidence of the best ways to teach and learn computing. Find out what they are and read accessible summaries of the research.

Checking out and liking www.shufflebuddy.com for making seating charts. It allows you to have "keep together" and "keep apart", custom room arrangements, and tagging seats (like front or near teacher) and students for preferential seating. Also imports from CSV. #edtech #EduSky

You Can’t Ban the Air: Why “No AI” Rules Don’t Work Some schools are still put red-light warnings on assignments: No AI use allowed.

My Monday morning read really reminds me of growing up in rural Wisconsin- stefanbauschard.substack.com/p/you-cant-b...

Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

First day back for most of my coworkers (most teachers, anyway). Met new folks Monday/Tuesday. So glad to have the gang back together, even if some really awesome folks have moved on! #EduSky

Teachers' Strategies for Pronouncing and Remembering Students' Names Correctly | KQED A mispronounced or forgotten name can have a lasting impact on students on how they feel about school. Teachers provide tips on how to make those names stick.

Prepping for work with faculty starting next week. My school uses Namecoach and a tool in our SIS with names/flashcards. I'm curious what other schools do to make sure students feel known from day 1.

spreadsheet listing grad years 2026-2039 (current PK-12th grade), average birth years, ages, Presidents, and cultural info.

As we prepare for the 2025-26 school year, some things to consider and keep perspective.

Beloit used to do a list of things to know about incoming freshmen. Anyone have something similar for their students?

Anyone using Google's Looker Studio lookerstudio.google.com with students? One of my mathematics teachers is looking at it as a tool for a data science course. If you've used it, resources/suggestions/starting points would be appreciated. #GoogleEDU #EduSky #Edtech

I know teachers with Gemini can create flashcards in Canvas now, but they're not shareable (yet).

Red box that states - Flippity activities based on Google Spreadsheets are currently not available.

We've been using Flippity www.flippity.net for years at my school, and now I see this message. Any idea what's up?
Alternatives? #GoogleEDU #edtech #EduSky

First day back at school for the 2025-26 school year (and my 20th at my school). I brought a pan of brownies - pretty much gone. Most of the folks here today are year-around, so a bribe for all of them to put up with me seemed like a good way to start.

Each month, just for fun, I create "reading challenges" that focus on authentic reasons for #reading (instead of having kids log page numbers, etc), AND that couple reading w/coloring b/c BOTH are proven stress relievers. Here's this month's offering! Enjoy!#TLSkyChat #TLSky #EduSky #Skybrarian

Has anyone made a feed for #NotAtISTE yet?

In preparation for some PD and classroom work around AI, I'm looking for specific numbers from authoritative sources around energy used in various AI applications. Suggestions for starting points? #EduSky #aiineducation

Our current LMS (Veracross) and CMS (Google Classroom) aren't exactly friendly to the practices shared during the training. There are a lot of overlaps with standards-based grading, so I'm investigating Toddle and JumpRope. I'd love to hear what others would suggest. #gradingforequity #EduSky

I spent last week at the SPA Equity Institute with a focus on Grading for Equity. The training was both powerful and practical, and I appreciated the time to discuss and better understand the range of equitable instructional and assessment strategies. #gradingforequity #EduSky

Feels like a case of ICE being used as a secret police or "Gestapo" when they're used as a political tool whose goal is to promote fear and compliance rather than enforce laws.

I'm a huge fan of NotebookLM. I use it when I have a lot of resources on the same topic to explore. I've also exported data from spreadsheets/forms (as PDFs) and used it to help me dig in.

There are ways we can celebrate individuals without pointing out differences or making difference feel less than.

EduTip 32: Don’t put kids in Charlie Bucket situations. Think twice before asking students to publicly share details of their home lives.

Heading to a Grading for Equity PD and saw this in my email:

Great starting point to consider classroom practices. Sometimes we just need to shift perspective. #Edusky

Exploring AI with NotebookLM? Try this: Pull in all of the resources found here into a single NotebookLM notebook. Then I generated a podcast and started asking questions about what teachers of elem/mid/high school students should keep in mind. www.aap.org/en/patient-c... #EduSky #edtech

I did this course last week and passes certification. Unlike most courses provided by vendors, this was platform agnostic. If you're looking for a solid, free AI course for teachers, definitely worth checking out! #edtech #ISED #EDUSky

I Asked ChatGPT How To Stop AI Cheating. Here’s What It Said ChatGPT’s advice on limiting AI-generated student submissions was surprisingly sound overall.

Morning reading. Key points aren't new, just worth sharing as reminders for folks doing curriculum work, esp in upper grades, over the summer.
