One of my favorite extensions of all time is Permanent Clipboard. This tool has saved me HUNDREDS of hours in grading. I can build my own comment bank and personalize my feedback for Ss. This extension works within my LMS, Google Docs, and more! #edtech youtu.be/dH8VDe3b6k0
I love brainstorming and lesson planning with Gemini Gems. Creating a custom gem to serve as a thought partner has been a game-changer. Personalize your experience with AI by using Gems. @GeminiApp #GoogleForEdu #edtech youtu.be/_vns0jCiB3w

Adding joy to learning matters, especially this time of year. I’ve been intentional about the final 5 minutes of class: quick reflections, meaningful exit tickets, and moments that build connection and community. youtu.be/f6SrSl4F1Fo #edchat #teachwithjoy

When I hear “worksheet,” I think outdated, but it doesn’t have to be. The @magicschoolai.bsky.social Worksheet Generator turns worksheets into discussion prompts. Make learning visible w/your LMS or @padlet.com. This is a simple way to refresh your lesson. #edtech #aiineducation youtu.be/VF-qDCCr6Rw
My Ss are about to tackle the I-Search Research Project around their definition of the American Dream. To scaffold this capstone project, I used #MagicSchoolAI to break it into manageable steps. Huge time-saver for big projects.@magicschoolai #edtech #AI youtu.be/z2FbK6lQigA
Listen to the latest episode of Teach in Ten. We speak with Curt Wadlington, a Prairie Ridge High School teacher, about innovative conversations. The best classrooms aren’t quiet. They’re full of questions, dialogue, and student voice. #teachinten #studentvoice open.spotify.com/episode/6yUW...
This week's high-impact learning strategy is retrieval. From completing classic KWL charts to brain dumps, having Ss practice retrieving information supports long-term learning & Ss' ability to make connections between their learning & lives. youtu.be/en3p5_Y5EJE
This week’s high-impact strategy = anticipation guides. I love how this approach gets Ss talking about a text before they even open it, about life-based statements tied to the themes. Make this strategy visible w/ Pear Deck, @padlet.com, and @snorklapp.bsky.social! #edetch

#Padlet just launched its Arcade feature, which can gamify content for any subject or level! Simply type in a subject or upload a PDF to create quick formative games that can help Ss test their knowledge. #edtech #formativeassessment youtu.be/DBg5ls9dVJo
In this episode of #TeachInTen, we chat with Kristin Mayes of #clcentralhs. By embedding literacy into instruction& embracing “desirable difficulties,” she helps students access complex texts, embrace productive struggle, & believe they can do hard things. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
I have loved using #snorkl as a feedback tool for speaking, so I thought I'd try out the writing feedback. My Ss received feedback on their introductions/claim statements that they could use immediately. Check out the @snorklapp.bsky.social today! #edtech

Are you looking for ways to encourage Ss to engage in metacognitive thinking? With the self-assess tool, Ss can grade themselves using the rubric and reflect on their learning. Check it out, #CanvasLMS users. #EdTech youtu.be/I7IMGhPOCCc?...
Join us as we talk with Kristen Gioe, a teacher, literacy coach, & advocate in D155. We talk innovation, meeting Ss where they are, and using best practice to build connection with compassion. #d155inspire #InnovateWithHeart #TeachInTen

Incorporating #NotebookLM w/ #GoogleGemini has gotten even easier. Pairing these tools to create more resources that can be used with Ss or Ts. I love narrowing down the source information to curate & personalize the output! #GoogleForEdu

Station rotation is one of my favorite lesson formats that boosts collaboration, engagement, & close reading. Ss move w/ purpose through discussion & individual analysis stations. This strategy is flexible, active, & meaningful. #edtech #blendedlearning

The Google Innovator apps are open. This experience was the most transformative of my #edtech journey. This program supports educators in amplifying Ss voice, advocating for all learners, & innovating in educational spaces. #GoogleChampions @googleforedu.bsky.social

Our latest episode just dropped! This week, we chat with Hannah Martin about innovation rooted in accessibility, student voice, and belonging. From MLs to tools like @SnorklApp & @NotebookLM, this convo proves equity + relationships #innovation.

One of the #edtech tools I’m most excited about this year is @snorklapp.bsky.social , an AI-powered tool that gives Ss immediate, meaningful feedback they can use right away. Today it sparked deeper analysis, stronger examples, & great discussion. youtu.be/rC97wqJjoXo?...
Assessments do not have to be an end-of-learning experience. Writing can be used to support student learning by encouraging Ss to think critically & reflect. Use #PermanentClipboard to give timelyfeedback #edtech #assessmentforlearning #edchat youtu.be/JMobcemHEdo

In 2026, I want assessment to be a learning tool and not just an end-of-unit measurement. I love using tools like #kahoot and @gimkit.com to teach key content even at the beginning of the unit. How do you use assessment as learning? #assessment #edtech youtu.be/bcubEA8wukw

Google Slides is my favorite tool in the @googleforedu.bsky.social suite. My 3 wins: 1. Recording presentations, 2. Creating speaker spotlights, & 3. Converting slides into vids. How are you using Slides in your learning space?
