Has anyone used Duolingo for staff PD? What did you do? How did you encourage participation? Looking for fun ideas! Thank you! #BackToSchool #teacher #PD

@DebbieDadey This made her day! Thank you!

I thought these came out so cute! We read The Good Egg. Then, 2nd-4th grade students made social media posts as The Good Egg that promotes the importance of self-care. 🧡🐯 #reinventtheclassroom

Students used AI to bring idioms to life! #ReinventTheClassroom

I had the pleasure of hearing @julnilsmith talk about media literacy @MASLOnline Fall PD! -students need to be skeptical and not cynical about the information they consume - quality of screen time is important -Don't be a passive consumer be an active questioner

Anyone know why @Curipod is giving the kids this, but they are showing up as in on my side? It works fine on the computer.

3rd and 4th grade students learned about AI. Then they created graphics using AI for upcoming events using @canva! #reinventtheclassroom

I’ve been thinking about this as the new school year approaches. Do we say we value collaboration but then celebrate individuals? Instead of Teacher of the Month, how about Team of the Month? Thoughts? #education #k12 #pauseponderpersist

"When someone spells and pronounces my name correctly, it shows an intentionality to attend to me as a person." With this interactive template, educator Laura Cahill encourages students to introduce themselves through words, images and audio of them pronouncing their names.

Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.
