Excited to share an article I had the chance to write for THE Journal on 5 AI tools that are making a real impact in classrooms. Hope it’s helpful for educators exploring AI! @SVVSD @stvrainstorm @MeadElem

Great advice for all educators. Experiment with AI, dive in, share what you learn, and remember that the AI you’re using now is the worst AI you will ever use. #iste2024 #StVrainStorm

Students learning about chemical reactions in style by making slime. Their inquiry question, “How can we turn two liquids into slime?” Hands on learning experience that is authentic and inquiry driven. @SVVSD #StVrainStorm @MeadElementary

Design Thinking Challenge: Students were asked to make the world a better place for plants and animals. Had to synthesize learning from ReadyGen and knowledge of ecosystems. 21st century learning skills in action! #stvrainstorm @MeadElementary

Very interesting read by Mary Burns. I really liked how she brought up what students want with online learning. "High touch" learning, greater interactivity, personalized learning, and more challenging activities. #INTE6750 edutopia.org/article/gettin…
