I have seen the change in students in the past decade. It seems tougher for them to find joy and persist from setbacks. They have been desensitized from so much media consumption, finding novelty in learning has never been so tough. #sunchat
“Teachers, your students don't love you because of your class decorations, clothes, bitmojis, lessons, etc. It's you. They love you for who you are and how you treat them. Just be you.” —Samuel Vo, Teacher
You are strong

The battle is over for our precious Jen. She has gone home to Jesus! L 7:07 AM • 12/30/24 • 205 Views
Twitter (for me) has always been about education and friendship, & you all have taught me so much! My heart is sad today seeing so many of you walk away because I don't want to lose touch! If today is the last day we chat, I just want you to know I say "thank you"!

Jen Wagner @jenwagner• 10/7/24 a4 - the journey is slowing down! but I am realizing that, though I am no longer in the classroom, teachers still need encouragement and creative ideas! i'm no longer able to be a example of teaching in a classroom, but I can encourage a teacher who is! #rethink_learning
One last update about Jen.
🥺🥺🥺
Grateful that she crossed my path here on social media. May her legacy of being so positive and encouraging to others, remind us of the people we need to be on social media. She was a true blessing for us all.

Love these. I also noticed the advice at the top says, “slow down.”

Canva’s Magic Studio tools are powerful for Education and Pro users, but free accounts have limits. I made a PDF with free alternatives—with hyperlinks to various online tools. #EduSky #AIinEducation

Have you watched “AfrAId yet on Netflix? AI tools can be a huge help but I wonder about AI influence and the impact it’s having.
In these challenging days of being an educator, I've been trying to focus more on the positives of my job. One thing that made me happy yesterday was realizing that for the majority of my kids, being asked to come work at my table with me is seen as a reward, not a punishment. 💜
Prompt Coach - Microsoft Copilot
Just created an AI agent using my data, files, ideas, prompts, and guidance for others in my organization to use. It took about five minutes in Copilot Studio. I'm imagining so many possibilities! #EduSkyAI #AIEdu #MicrosoftEdu
Woah, super cool potential from World Labs. Image ➡️ 3D worlds. I like Blockade Labs, but it is a bit stiff, this could be next level....

Great visit from #BMW today. Students got to learn some great STEM connections in the automotive industry. #stemeducation #skyEDU #engineering
This is mind blowing 🤯
Ask students to be involved in setting what mastery looks like for an assessment or assignment. Getting students involved in setting the criteria can make a huge difference. #ungradingchat
