✨ Teaching children about AI can be challenging but starting with Machine Learning is a great way to get pupils to understand the tech around them👌. CBBC presenter Tilly tells us more about why she has such an interest in AI and how we can help pupils get started 🦾. @BBC_Teach

Hey teachers…if you’re doing assistive devices with your students, especially with #3dprinting, be sure to check out techowlpa.org resources and videos

One of my goals this semester is to have students become more reflective about their learning AND learning skills. Tomorrow I am going to give this a reflection a try.. thanks @MathWaite and @StacieOliver100 for sharing your versions in the past. #ungrading

And the purpleheart electric guitar is complete! Wood Tech class. Completely from scratch, cnc mill cut body. 3D printed pick guard. Nice way to end the year for this student! #cte #stem #STEMeducation #wood #music #guitar #cnc #achs #sequoits

⚡️SCIENCE LESSON IDEA⚡️ Not many people realise the micro:bit can be used to test the conductivity of materials😯. Why not integrate this feature into your science lessons for a full STEM approach💡? 🔗Link to the lesson plans 👇 microbit.org/teach/lessons/… #scienceteachers #STEMed

How will GenAI tools impact CS Education? today.ucsd.edu/story/in-this-… -Effective prompting requires the use of decomposition skills (CT) -Analyzing the generated code requires critical thinking skills How do students develop these 2 skills? #onted

Cue the distractions from the massive education cuts buried in yesterday's education budget release. #onted #cdned #edchat thestar.com/politics/provi…

📊Data logging with the micro:bit makes great MATHS activities which you can also link into other areas of the curriculum like: Geography - Survey traffic 🚗 & wildlife 🦆 Science - Growing plants 🌱 PE - design a personalised fitness tracker 🏃 microbit.org/projects/make-… #microbit

This Friday, April 26th is the deadline for teachers to purchase this year's Chem 13 News Exam for their Grade 12 students. Learn more and register here: bit.ly/3SuRTMj

Stephen Lecce: Students are distracted by phones in the classroom.

This was a welcome surprise today! My @wakelet collection of #AI Resources and Research is trending today! Find the collection here: wakelet.com/wake/7O7jcFq_I… #wakeletwave

Winning team in the #NationalFluidPower classroom competition! They moved 17 barrels to the top shelf with amazing team collaboration! #womeninSTEM

5th graders using Tinkercad?!?!? Yes they can and yes they did!!! Mix that with a science standard and you’ve got pure magic!!!!

Have your students create a simulation of the Total Solar Eclipse using Scratch. They could also illustrate with Google Slides, or create a storyboard. youtu.be/0xlzXzQbJgY?si… #TotalSolarEclipse #SolarEclipse2024 @scratch #scratch #coding #STEM #makerspaces #edtec
