For the first time in 133 years, more than half of Caltech's incoming undergraduate class are women, outnumbering their male counterparts. We’re thrilled to see more women entering STEM and are committed to fostering a more equitable and supportive culture in tech. lat.ms/3yTiD3h

Is math invented or discovered? ✍️

Week 3 is well underway! We couldn't be more proud of our schools creating an atmosphere of love for the students we serve. #CatholicTwitter #catholicschool #BackToSchool

HS Robotics challenge: how far can you hang a VEX piece off the desk? How do you support and balance the design? It’s a nice intro into building with @VEXRobotics #robotics #design

At the 2024 WeTeach_CS Summit, the message was clear: regardless of background or socioeconomic status, every student deserves access to high-quality CS education! Read all about this year's Summit: buff.ly/4dzoOIC

NEW today🎙️ 🎧 In my latest Easy EdTech Podcast episode, we dive into the endless (or at least 8) possibilities of using podcasts with students. 💡 Whether you’re supplementing lessons or inspiring student creators, this episode has you covered. classtechtips.com/2024/08/27/pod…

@DrBradJohnson My life and career changed so much after I figured this out. Thanks for sharing!

Never forget!

@TCEA Adding in a bit of technology to enrich the lesson by posting this on a discussion board or uploading the question on Google Classroom. Some of these questions are valuable for students to share with their classmates and respond to each other.

This month, the Office of Catholic Schools offers a special edition of "The Bridge" newsletter. This edition shines a spotlight on the transformative power of generosity. Join us in building a brighter future! #sponsorship #catholicvalues #GlobalCitizen secure.smore.com/n/pqeby

@quizizz A definite time-saver! Another commenter says you can't edit the questions. If true, adding an editing feature would be beneficial.

In under a minute, you can use Quizizz AI to create a quick assessment for your final weeks of school. All you need is your device, the Quizizz app, and an open book page. That's it? Yes. Don't blink when you watch this video. 😉

Too cool not to share!

@TCEA I run a private Facebook group for some of the teachers I serve, and the "AI is here to stay" message has been my focus recently. Looking to make a big AI push for our upcoming school year, so I'll share this info with them.

Stop running away from #AI. It's here to stay. So why not make it your handy little assistant? Join us this summer at this exclusive event for educators to learn how to master AI and use it in your classroom. sbee.link/bqk8ahx4wc #aiineducation #teacherpd #cpchat #chatgpt

In my first year of teaching, I had somewhat barren walls. A student remarked that he felt like he was in a prison...I started creating my own posters shortly after. Check out these tips so you can get started making your own posters!

@ericcurts An overlooked tool in Google's arsenal. Working with a $0 budget, I relied on Google Drawings a lot. Most of my class posters were made with it, and I'd even print out some of my students projects. It's good to give them something tangible after all their hard work.

@codeorg @BBCStoryWorks @Cisco Very moving. Thanks for sharing. I hope it brings more awareness to how important computer science/coding is becoming in our lives.

Make it a movie night 🍿 We're thrilled to be featured in @BBCStoryWorks "The Human Component" series, alongside @Cisco's #OneBillionLives initiative! This short film takes you to a heart-warming Native classroom in Nevada, where students are blending their cultural traditions with the power of computer science. See how Code.org is making a difference and get ready to be inspired! #OneBillionLives ( 📽: Amy Berkhoudt Woodman, K-5 Curriculum Product Manager) cisco.com/c/en/us/about/…

Our quarterly newsletter "The Bridge" is meant to provide an in-depth look on what's going on in our Catholic Schools. Check out my contribution "The Digital Landscape: Equipping Students for Online Success" #edtech

@ClassTechTips I always take hand sanitizer instead of hand lotion. With all the hand shaking and strange surface touching that goes on you can never be too careful. I always forget a sleep mask though...Thanks for the tips.

🎒 Don't let conference days overwhelm you! Prepare with my seven essential tips. #ISTELive 📲 Full post: classtechtips.com/2024/05/30/tea…

@edutopia #3 is one I could have benefitted from when I was a new teacher. My "Mentor Teacher" was very inauthentic and would stiffen up when I would go observe her. I know because I shared a wall with her. At least I learned from her on what not to do that during my evaluations.

PD is often well-intentioned, but can also be ineffective or easily forgotten. Here's how to improve your school's approach—so everyone in the building experiences the joy of learning. 🤩

@CommonSenseEd My (somewhat) joke recommendation is "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. There will be days where you'll relate to the tree... My real recommendation is "The First Days of School" by Harry K. Wong and Rosemary T. Wong.

Educators, let's build our reading lists! 📚 What's one book every teacher should read? Share your must-read recommendation and let's inspire each other to grow and learn. 🌟✨ #EdChat #TeacherReads #ProfessionalDevelopment #BookRecommendations #TeacherLife

@PrincipalProj You have to learn to be flexible.

When you took your first step, what encouraging words were ringing in your ears?
