#CommonSenseMedia released their Census for 2025: 0-8 Media Use Report. Some interesting similarities between 2020 & post-covid 2025 that surprised me. + More kiddos are gaming now, I do wish it broke down into detail what games. I’m sure we can make an educated guess. #MediaBalance #DigCit

Used the Reality Composer app to 3D scan models of sustainable buildings, researched, designed and built by 4th graders, to upload the 3D object files into #CoSpacesEdu to bring their buildings to the scale of a real city. Ss then got to walk through their city for the future 🏙️

I'm so excited for Hour of Code with Ss this week! While #HourOfCode activities are amazing, it can sometimes take some maneuvering for Ss to find an activity that doesn't require an additional download, log in etc. So I've created some choice boards. I will link them all to this thread 🔗 #EduSky

Hey, #EduSky does anyone have some good practice resources for Google Educator Level 1 & 2 for a dear colleague of mine? I used to have a practice checklist years ago, and unfortunately can't find it. Thanks in advance! #GoogleEducator
