We had a training yesterday with K-5 teachers. LOTS of hands on learning with @kaiseducation.bsky.social ! Teachers were stoked to see all the ways these can be embedded into math classes to make learning relevant and engaging #edtech #stem

Last night, 4th graders showcased games they coded on Scratch for the PTO. Parents played the games & then asked Ss about their code & challenges they faced. A number of Ss had worked on their game outside of class b/c they knew people were going to be playing them #EdTech #STEM #AuthenticAudience

Fourth graders were stoked to create their own game controllers using Makey Makey pencils. These two hacked into two player mode pinball #EdTech #STEM #MakeSchoolFun

Fifth graders coded @microbit.org to log temp data for the soil in our district Grow Dome so they can make recommendations for seeds to plant during the winter #STEM #EdTech #SolvingRealWorldProblems

8th grade science students coded @microbit.org to track acceleration for an experiment in which they are trying to reduce peak force. The teacher showed them how to set up the formula in Google Sheets, too love 😎 #EdTech #STEM #EduSky

Fourth graders getting feedback on their writing from a @schoolai.com Space. Quote of the day from a student: “I didn’t think this thing was going to be that good; but it’s REALLY good!”🤣 #EdTech #EduSky #AIinEducation

Just spent the last hour helping 2nd graders record their final compare/contrasts writing drafts in Adobe Express’s “Animate your voice”. Soooo fun getting to introduce this to the littles #edusky

Just had an incredibly engaging conversation with a high school advisory in which we discussed this continuum from @ericcurts.bsky.social in Socratic Seminar format. Every secondary teacher should consider this activity with their students. Their responses were honest and informative!
