Dear AI edtech companies— instead stripping the creativity and authenticity needed in my job, can I just have smaller class sizes?

I have yet to see a use case for AI in the classroom that wouldn't also be addressed by smaller class sizes & more paid prep time for teachers.

if you’ve talked to me recently, you would hear about my experience listening to The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control — and how instead balancing time, we need to learn how to balance our energy ⏰

A8: Don’t be afraid to try new things and to figure out the #teacherhack that works for you!

#T2Tchat #edusky
Q8. What’s one message you’ve gotten from a fellow educator that you still resonate with? #T2Tchat #EduSky
October 16, 2025 at 11:53 PM
A7: Journal writing at start of class – a prompt related to current events, the day's lesson, or reflection about team work and participation in class. Then I ask students to share with their team mates and they often find points of similarity and connect on that.

#T2Tchat #edusky #teacherhacks
Q7. Idea exchange! What’s one routine, lesson or activity that consistently helps students build relationships with each other? #T2Tchat #EduSky
October 16, 2025 at 11:48 PM
A6: Highlight SPECIFIC ways that students were “smart” that day, in front of their peers– maybe they asked a really great question or drew a picture to solve a problem. Either way, verbal praise really motivates my students to keep up the momentum in the future!

#T2Tchat #edusky #teacherhacks
Q6. Share one tip for motivating and engaging your students! #T2Tchat #EduSky
October 16, 2025 at 11:38 PM
A5: I take a moment to check in with the class and share my honest thoughts – “hey – this isn’t going as I planned. How is everyone feeling?” this usually helps me gauge whether students are confused about the directions or about the content.

#T2Tchat #edusky #teacherhack
Q5. When a lesson isn’t going as planned, how do you pivot? #T2Tchat #EduSky
October 16, 2025 at 11:32 PM
A4: At the start of the school year, my classes and I come up with ideas on what participating in teams “looks like” and “sounds like” – and we revisit them during Participation Quizzes. More info here!

A3: verbal feedback in the form of “assess and advance” – find out where students are and help them move forward without doing the thinking for them!

#T2Tchat #edusky #teacherhack
Q3. Fill in the blank: My go-to strategy for giving students feedback during a lesson is ______. #T2Tchat #EduSky
October 16, 2025 at 11:15 PM
A2: I try to bring geometry to life by doing at least one real-life modeling project each semester. This semester, I had students modeling where to put a food co-op using geometric constructions after learning about food deserts!

#T2Tchat #Edusky #teacherhack
Q2. Share one way you bring your subject matter to life for your students! #T2Tchat #EduSky
October 16, 2025 at 11:09 PM
A1: Reduced phone use - but standing at the door to greet students each day while reminding them to put phones in a phone box. Overall, students have a lot more awareness of their own phone use and understand it’s about collective accountability!

#T2Tchat #EduSky
