@LibraryOfDawn @SamanthaBahna Excellent idea about how to make the students aware of what they are coming into contact with online and growing as digital citizens #EDTC627F23

@HellingsKatie @SamanthaBahna This would be so helpful. Always trying to find on level text that have relevant material #EDTC627F23

@SamanthaBahna #EDTC627F Diffit - #topic" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">beta.diffit.me/#topic - is a site that will take articles and level them down specific reading levels. You can upload an article or type in a topic and it generates the same article on the grade level you teach. A great way to teach current events!

@DonnaMa24771424 @SamanthaBahna Thanks for this AI tool suggestion! I will definitely be trying this with my 4th graders and those readers who are may be struggling #EDTC627F23

@SamanthaBahna Explain Paper is an AI tool that my students can benefit from. It can assist students when reading above their reading level to explain the chunk of text. Especially when preparing for NJSLA…even in third grade it’s difficult! #EDTC 627F23

@KayteSnyder @SamanthaBahna This sounds like so much fun! Makes those historical figures more intersting! #EDTC627F23

@SamanthaBahna Deep Nostalgia AI can take photos and bring them to life. This could be fun for students who are learning about people from the past like former scientists or historical figures! #EDTC627F23

@KayteSnyder @SamanthaBahna A tool that creates notes that are designed for that type of learner. Asking the AI tool to include definitions or picture representations depending on the type of learner who is asking #EDTC627F23

@SamanthaBahna Students can use AI like another teacher. They could ask AI, like ChaptGPT, to create notes or a study guide on a specific topic they are learning about. Maybe AI has a different way of showing or explaining that the students connect with or understand more! #EDTC627F23

@AmyInWndrlnd @SamanthaBahna Visual representations are always so helpful, especially with technical vocabulary in subjects like Science #EDTC627F23

@SamanthaBahna Using AI photo tools, K-4 science students could photograph for instance different leaves or insects and ask AI to identify them based on visual characteristics and then provide details on each. Not too unlike a reverse image look up on Google but with more detail. #EDTC627F23

@SamanthaBahna AI tools could be used to better understand vocabulary with visual representations of the word. Also, help ELL students with terms that they need help with. I heard of a tool could Knowji- which is a vocabulary app that uses cartoons to help students remember words #EDTC627F23

@chelseah51218 @SamanthaBahna So many great ideas! I love the character trait posters. I’ve actually purchased them in TPT. #EDTC627F23

@dani_mosca @SamanthaBahna I checked out headoverheelsforteaching and I love their ideas. The shout out wall is a cute way for the children to praise each other. #EDTC627F23

@EricaLynn080523 @SamanthaBahna @TeacherMisery Yes! Also on my feed. Comic relief for sure! #EDTCF23627

@SamanthaBahna @TeacherMisery for comic relief - hands down! #EDTC627F23

@KayteSnyder @SamanthaBahna @gerrybrooksprin @teachergoals @WeAreTeachers @merc_morris Gerry Brooks is another go to! I love we are teachers as well. #EDTC627F23

@SamanthaBahna #EDTC627F23 Hey all! Some of my favorites to follow are @gerrybrooksprin @teachergoals and @WeAreTeachers for comic relief and to remind me that it's normal for teachers to be struggling or have hard days! I also enjoy content from @merc_morris and even went to one of his PDs!

@londoboy2424 @SamanthaBahna head over heels always has great ideas! #EDTC627F23

@dani_mosca @SamanthaBahna IG is what I'm most comfortable with, so I just started following head over heels for teaching. I agree that memes are a great way to provide comic relief.

@chelseah51218 @MsNicholasVEM @SamanthaBahna I need to branch out more to tik tok. I use instagram more often and I am new to tik tok but I am always hear of great videos both informative and funny. #EDTC627F23

@MsNicholasVEM @SamanthaBahna #EDTC627F23 I thought of Tiktok too! Sometimes it's the prefect balance you need of comedy, teaching inspiration and real world topics.

@LibraryOfDawn @SamanthaBahna It took me a minute to think about what I use for comic relief because I think we are just so use to having that text there we do not think of it like that, but it truly is a place to share and banter!

@LibraryOfDawn @SamanthaBahna I have found so much inspiration from the Facebook group as well! Pixton Comics For Educators is another group too that is helpful. I've used Pixton in my class and my students love it!

@ps3engineering @MsNicholasVEM @SamanthaBahna Same here! I am always pinning some type of inspiration and then sharing it with my grade level partner with a "we need to do this" message :)

@MsNicholasVEM @SamanthaBahna I completely agree! I find myself going down a education related TikTok rabbit hole way too often! #EDTC627F23

@DonnaMa24771424 @SamanthaBahna Yes he is great! And definitely has been passed along in our messages as well!

@dani_mosca @SamanthaBahna Colleague group texts are the best! A team member of mine just retired this past June. She would always send daily to weekly TiK Tok posts of Gerry Brooks! Miss it! #EDTC627F23

@HellingsKatie @SamanthaBahna Yes very funny and the comic relief gets us through the craziest of days!

@dani_mosca @SamanthaBahna I love that you have a teaching colleague group chat! I can imagine that brings lots of fun and LOLs!!

@EAltiero50980 @SamanthaBahna Yes it is wonderful to have a support system that knows what you deal with on the day to day.

@dani_mosca @SamanthaBahna #EDTC627F23 You are very lucky to have a group text for venting! I had that one year and I was relieved to find out I wasn't the only one having the same issue!

@LibraryOfDawn @SamanthaBahna I agree that having images on ChatGPT would be amazing! That definitely will be in it's future!

@AmyInWndrlnd @SamanthaBahna Love sharing memes and pictures amongst colleagues. They know exactly what you are going though and exactly what you need to make you smile!

@dani_mosca @SamanthaBahna Just got this nerdy text from a co-worker in our group chat in honor of my national-day-of daily library boards. Much needed laugh after a long day. Cannot underestimate the power of colleague moral support. #EDTC627f23
