Schools are banning cellphones to boost focus But Chromebooks are still everywhere. The result? A tech balance challenge. - The Chromebook Paradox - 4 strategies for purposeful tech use - How this connects to chronic absenteeism Read now 👉bit.ly/kishblog52 #EdTech #ISTE

Most classrooms aren’t broken. But the teacher is doing most of the thinking. That’s why students stay dependent. And teachers feel exhausted. #edchat #Teaching #StudentEngagement

Same classroom. Same students. 30 days later… everything changed. Not the students. Not the content. 👉 The system. #StudentEngagement #EdChat #Teaching #AIinEducation

@Elisabeth13 Thank you @Elisabeth13. A month ago I was in that exact same classroom where the teacher was conducting a whole group lesson. Five students were actively participating. Yesterday, 100% of the students were engaged and taking ownership of their learning. BIG WIN!

This is a great illustration of the beauty of Blended Learning!

Yesterday in a HS U.S. History classroom: Students were building projects Collaborating in shared docs Learning about revision history Talking responsible AI use Projects need systems. Without them = chaos. With them = ownership. #edchat #AIinEducation #PBL

Teachers don’t need more strategies. They need systems that help students take ownership. That’s when classrooms become more focused, independent, and sustainable. #edutwitter #teachers #studentengagement

Student ownership gets easier when students know: what they’re working on why it matters what to do next Without those 3 things—they’ll always come back to the teacher. #edutwitter #teachers #studentengagement

Bridging the gap 🤝 Strengthening Tier 1 co-teaching with SPED teachers through blended learning to make instruction more effective for all students. Thank you, @dsdPD Marcia Kish, for supporting our work! ✨ #BlendedLearning #CoTeaching #SPED #InstructionalImpact

@Elisabeth13 Love this

How does AI fit as a support for Bloom’s? Interesting #socallt2026

Small groups don’t fail because of the structure… they fail because students don’t know what to do when they’re not with the teacher. That’s the real issue. #edutwitter #teachers #studentengagement

Student ownership isn’t about giving more choice. It’s when students know what to do… without relying on the teacher for every step. That’s the shift. #studentengagement #edutwitter #teachers

Teachers aren’t just exhausted because it’s the end of the year… they’ve been carrying the learning all year. That’s not sustainable. #teacherburnout #edutwitter #teachers

It’s not the checklist. It’s the design. Most classroom checklists fail because they’re: • unclear • overloaded • disconnected from learning But when done right, they become a learning dashboard. 🔗 bit.ly/kishblog94

Many classroom checklists fail. Not because the idea is bad. But because they were never designed for engagement. bit.ly/kishblog94 #studentengagement #checklist #blendedlearning #personalizedlearning

Conference sessions don’t have to be passive. I use studio icons, direction cards, voice recordings, studio experts, and gallery walks to get educators moving + collaborating. Engagement by Design #DLAC #PersonalizedLearning #StudentEngagement #BlendedLearning #EdLeadership

Engagement ≠ compliance. Compliance says, “I have to.” Engagement says, “It matters.” Design for ownership — and personalized learning follows. 📘 Student Engagement by Design Amazon + SEbyDesignGuide.com #StudentEngagement #EdLeadership #personalizedlearning
