Episode 198: Educators as AI Guides: Crafting Resources for Families and Communities

Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 198 called Educators as AI Guides: Crafting Resources for Families and Communities. In this episode, we will walk through a step by step process that educators can follow for creating AI resources that are not just for staff and students, but the community as a whole. This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

Segment 1: We are concluding a 3 year journey that has attempted to establish AI policy, share the ai policy with staff and students, teach staff about ai, teach students about ai, and the final phase … teaching the community.

One thing that still surprises me is the number of people (usually adults) who don’t use AI. Maybe they disagree with it, maybe they don’t know where to go or what to do, or maybe they just don’t care. But everyone has a stake in at least knowing what these tools are capable of.

A local library reached out to the school district and asked if we would collaborate on creating, sharing and presenting resources from the school so that the community could learn from them AND be aware of what schools are doing with AI.

This is our journey, laid out in a step-by-step manner so that it might help others trying to accomplish the same thing.

Segment 2:1. Establish policy at the highest levels possible (board, superintendent, etc). 2. Must start here so you have a legally backed document to fall back on 3. This can be slow and painful 4. Start identifying the stakeholder’s opinions 5. Teachers, 6. Students 7. Administrators 8. Parents 9. Have a focus group to help with wordsmithing 10. Identify proper use/misuse 11. Establish an “AI director” for the district 12. Not a new position, someone who already has a tech role 13. This person is responsible for maintaining and updating the resources and plan that follows 14. This person may also want to recruit a small team to help them build out and present the materials (tech coaches, media specialists, etc) 15. Create a public space to clearly communicate that policy 16. Website is probably the best option, social posts are too fleeting 17. Could also be a document that gets linked somewhere, like a school website 18. Create easily digestible versions of that policy 19. “Infographic” that policy! No one likes to read policy, so make it digestible in the form of an infographic 20. Shoe-horn it as an FAQ page 21. Beautified PDF or Canva doc 22. Canva slide deck - make it presentable and informative since this is what people will likely go to for policy information 23. Create a public hub that collects AI resources for everyone 24. To me, website is the only option here 25. Needs to be linked to the school districts website 26. Must have … 27. The actual board policy language 28. Sections for staff, students, and community 29. Quick links for commonly accessed information 30. Share with staff 31. Surveys and focus groups in the early stages - make them feel heard, this is a hot topic 32. Multi-pronged approach 33. In-person PD on in-service days 34. Ready-made classroom materials like posters 35. Differentiate the options they have for accessing info and sharing with students: video AND slides AND docs AND … 36. Examples of how this policy affects real things like a syllabus, assignment directions, second chance learning, use of computers, etc. 37. Specific information about what they can do to help stop AI use and what to do when students are misusing it 38. Regular reminders 39. Share with students 40. Create common language used between all stakeholders 41. Appropriate usages 42. Inappropriate usages 43. AI policy at the district level, school level, classroom level 44. Different modes of communication 45. Syllabus 46. AI policy website 47. Student handbook 48. Classroom poster 49. Share with community 50. First, share your resource hub on social media 51. Second, create a schedule for social media posts that contain information from the policy. Keep it positive! For example, a post that shows how a well known teacher is using AI to help support student learning. 52. Third, create resources that teach people about AI, what it is, how it is used in schools, how they can use it in their everyday lives 53. Final stage: collab with local groups like libraries, AI night for parents to join 54. Continuing updates and education 55. Showcase new tools, policies, and guidelines 56. Social media 57. Superintendent Newsletter 58. Website update 59. Videos 60. Back to School night 61. Teacher communication emails/newsletters

Episode 197: 10 Low-Tech Ways to Refocus StudentsWelcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 197 called 10 Low-Tech Ways to Refocus Students. In this episode, we will talk about 10 low-tech or no-tech ideas for brain breaks, mindful moments, whatever you call them, you’ll learn some cool ways to refocus students in your classroom. This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

Segment 1: School OpeningOur school opening PD days focused on the importance of getting kids off screens.

Funny because I’ve been hearing students for years say they still prefer pieces of paper for many things in class and that they get tired of looking at their tiny chromebook screen.

This also makes sense because there are strong links to learning and handwriting. Also, have you ever tried staring at a screen for your job all day? It’s not fun.

In that spirit, we collected some ideas for brain breaks / mindful moments, with a focus on low tech or no tech solutions.

Segment 2: Low Tech or No Tech Brain BreaksBingo Bongo Splat

You write down a secret number on a piece of paper so you don’t forget it yourself. Can be as many digits as you want. Students take turns guessing the number. As they make a guess, you record it for all of them to see, along with the word, bingo, bongo, or splat. Check out the Tik Tok video from LifeofSteph on this

Bingo=1 digit in the right place

Bongo=1 digit but in the wrong place

Splat=nothing matches

Reverse Simon Says

Same rules as Simon Says—but if you don’t hear “Simon says,” you should do the action. Flips their brains into focus mode.

Slow Reveal Graphs

Series of images of graphs, beginning with almost no labels or information, then slowly adding more. Students share out what they think the graph is about. Their responses get more detailed and specific with each new reveal. Teaches graph skills and is fun!

• Bandle Phone App

Wordle

Remember that craze! It’s still around. Play the real NYT version or make your own at flippty

Which doesn’t belong?

4 images are shown and students must argue for which one doesn’t belong. There should be a possible reason that could be argued for each image. Start with a dessert example (chocolate layer cake, choco chip cookies, berry pie, ice cream), and then make one that fits your content. Close by having students design one. Extend this by having them present it.

Story Tag

One student starts a silly story with one sentence, and it goes around the room quickly. Each adds just one sentence—short and energizing.

Another option: You will tell a story one word at a time. Ideally you’re in a circle on arranged in a way that’s clear which order you’ll go in. The first student starts with one word (One), then the next student comes up with another word (morning), then the next student continues (a)…

Another option: You will tell a story using only questions. Ideally you’re in a circle on arranged in a way that’s clear which order you’ll go in.

The first student starts: “Where did the dog go?”

The next continues with: “I’m not sure, should we go look for him?”

The next continues with: “Do you know where his leash is?”

Upside-Down Artist

Students have 30 seconds to doodle something on scrap paper—but they must hold the paper upside down while drawing. Quick, funny reset.

Island packing list/I’m going on a picnic

You’ll need to decide the rule for things allowed on the picnic. Maybe it’s green things, or things that begin with the letter B, or things that you can eat…

Students will take turns asking if they can bring X on the picnic

Their goal is to try to get everyone to figure out the rule.

Mirror Game

In pairs, one student makes slow movements while the other “mirrors” exactly. Switch roles after 30 seconds.

Word Problem Battleship/Connect 4/ Tic-Tac-Toe

Edtech ThrowdownEpisode 195: Rethinking Research: Teaching Inquiry and Integrity in the Age of AIWelcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 195 called Rethinking Research: Teaching Inquiry and Integrity in the Age of AI. In this episode, we will explore how the role of a teacher must change now that AI is becoming integrated in all aspects of our lives. Specifically, we’ll share 8 changes you can make to your classroom and assignments that will help encourage students to think creatively and critically in an age where it’s more important than ever. This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

Segment 1: As my students completed their final projects, I started noticing something this year … all their work was very technically sound and met my project expectations almost perfectly. Was it too perfect?

Specific example: One of the elements of my rubric references a creative title. Usually everyone does “Chemistry of __”, but this year, they were all things like “9 Volts, 2 Electrodes, 1 Reaction: The Chemistry Behind the Charge and the Connection”. So what suddenly happened this year for me to get such great titles?

Also - When students came to me with questions about content, like the girl who needed help understanding the chemistry of Na/K pumps in cells, I found myself going to ChatGPT for the fastest resolution. Clearly they are doing the same.

Two questions arose:

1. Is this research?
2. Is this type of research good or bad?

Segment 2: Student Research in the Age of AI1. Redefine Research as Inquiry, Not Just Information Gathering

AI makes facts and summaries instantly accessible, so teachers should shift the focus from finding information to asking meaningful questions. Students should be taught that good research begins with curiosity and that AI is just one of many tools in that process.

Teacher Tip: Require students to submit a “research question development log” showing how their question evolved through discussion, feedback, and exploration.

2. Teach AI Literacy as Part of Research Instruction

Students need to understand how AI tools work, their limitations, and the potential for bias or misinformation. This helps them critically evaluate what AI produces instead of blindly trusting it.

Teacher Tip: Have students compare AI-generated content with academic sources and reflect on differences in depth, credibility, and tone.

3. Require Research Process Documentation

Rather than just grading final products, assess the steps students took during the research process: topic selection, source evaluation, note-taking, outlining, etc.

Teacher Tip: Use research journals, annotated bibliographies, or reflection checkpoints to track progress and thinking.

4. Emphasize Source Evaluation Skills

AI can summarize or suggest sources, but it can’t always vet them well. Students must be taught how to evaluate a source’s credibility, purpose, and relevance—skills that AI cannot replace.

Teacher Tip: Require students to justify the inclusion of each source in their work with a brief analysis of its trustworthiness and value.

5. Assign Synthesis Over Summary

AI excels at summarizing; students must be pushed to synthesize information—connecting multiple perspectives, forming original insights, and constructing arguments.

Teacher Tip: Ask students to write or present the "So what?" of their research—what do all the sources together reveal, and what can we learn from that?

6. Use Oral Defenses or In-Class Writing

One way to ensure authentic work is to ask students to explain or recreate their findings in real-time, without AI assistance.

Teacher Tip: After submitting a research paper, have students do a brief oral defense or timed writing prompt based on their research.

7. Require Human and AI Source Transparency

Make it a norm to credit how AI tools were used in the research process. This reinforces academic honesty and helps differentiate between AI assistance and student work.

Teacher Tip: Include a required “AI Usage Statement” in which students disclose how (or if) AI contributed to their research.

8. Design Creative, Personalized, or Localized Research Tasks

Generic essay prompts are easy to outsource to AI. Unique, specific, or personally relevant tasks are harder to fake and more meaningful for students.

Teacher Tip: Frame research around local issues, class discussions, personal experiences, or school-specific themes to increase authenticity and engagement.

Episode 194: Tech That Teaches: Hardware We Actually Love

Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 194 called Tech That Teaches: Hardware We Actually Love. In this episode, we will go over the hardware that allows our classrooms and offices to run smoothly and efficiently. Save time, headaches, and hopefully some money! This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

Segment 1: Who doesn’t like gadgets?

Segment 2:Nick’s Gadgets

• Workstation Set-Up: Use a USB splitter connected to an external monitor. That splitter has all my “stuff” to facilitate quick connection. Connect my laptop to the monitor and then I’m also auto-connected to all my gadgets. I use the Anker Hub 4 Ports and love it, but there are many options that are all pretty good.
• Second monitor! Dell 27 inch Monitor, P2725H Full HD 1080p Computer Monitor. If you haven’t started using a second monitor, get on it!
• Wacom Tablet - I like this better than a touch screen stylus because it feels more like writing on a piece of paper. When I use the stylus, I find that it my hand accidentally clicks things on the screen, zooming in by mistake, etc. I have the wired version, which is limiting. Get the wireless!
• Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB Cardioid Dynamic Microphone: I’ve heard lots of teachers like the Blue Yeti or the Rode Podcaster, but my favorite has always been the AT. All the other mics I’ve tried sound tinny.
• Multi-device Charging Station

Guise’s Gadgets:

• Dinofire Presentation Clicker
• C Desk Clam Power Strip
• DYMO Label Maker or DYMO Label Maker USB
• Personal Laminator
• Portable Speaker

We do the hard work of sifting through all the science so you don't have to and cover everything from 5G and ADHD, to Fluoride and Fasting Diets.
2. Mr. Barton Maths: How do you make a podcast about math? By coming at it from a human-first perspective and examining why so many students (and teachers) have an instinctual adverse reaction to the subject. Host Craig Barton is a former math educator and founder of diagnostic educational software company Eedi, so he has a fair bit of personal experience in the subject matter. U.S. listeners should note that Barton is based in the U.K.; while some of the references to the British education system may not resonate, the sentiment behind the content certainly will.

Episode 191: 10 Canva Code Ideas for Teachers

Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 191 called 10 Canva Code Ideas for Teachers. In this episode we’ll introduce, explain and analyze one of the features in Canva AI called Canva Code. We’ll also share 10 ways that teachers can use it to help spark your creativity when it comes to this exciting new feature. This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

Segment 1: Intro to Canva CodeWhat is it? Canva’s AI writes code for you to create specific games/apps/simulations/etc that function in Canva. When you’ve got the code just right by prompting and then adjusting with other prompts, you can publish it as a Canva website for easy sharing.

What do you do with the code? The code produced can be copy-pasted to other places OR just published directly in Canva as a Canva website.

Downsides:

1. Initial teacher response is often “why do i need to write code”?
2. It can take some time to get the code right to produce what you want
3. Does it exist somewhere else? For example, why make a quizzes app in Canva?
4. The prompt has a character limit, so you’ll have to adjust it as you go.
5. For example, start with a prompt that describes only the function of the app. Then adjust it afterwards related to design. Then again for differentiation, etc.

Why Use it: (what makes it worth the time)

1. TREMENDOUS capability for teachers to make things that don’t exist anywhere else online
2. Can ask it to add specific differentiations into any game/app created for whatever students you have
3. Skip labor intensive prep for physical games

Segment 2: Canva Code Ideas for TeachersNicks 5

1. Interactive Periodic Table
2. Virtual Lab about Color Theory (Art Lesson)
3. Geometry Shape Explorer

Edtech ThrowdownEpisode 190: Stump the Edtech GuruWelcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 190 called Stump the Edtech Guru. In this episode, we’ll try and stump each other with some of the toughest edtech challenges we could think of. Each guru will have to come up with a solution on the spot. This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

Segment 1: Friendly Competition We compete with everything*

Segment 2: Stump the Edtech GuruNick’s Scenarios:

• Scenario 1:
• The AI Essay Epidemic. Ms. Rivera teaches 10th grade English and has just assigned a personal narrative essay. As she begins grading, she notices several essays that seem... off. They're grammatically perfect, lack any personal voice, and a few students even use similar turns of phrase. The students cited AI use, and even included a link to a specific conversation in a tool called Perplexity. When examining the link however, it only shows the student asking questions about the topic. In other words, there is no evidence of having the AI do the writing, at least not in this particular chat. The student denies any AI use other than what was cited. What should she do?
• Perplexity
• Google Docs
• Ai Works Cited
• Scenario 2:
• The Silent Discussion Board. Mr. Chen is running a blended learning environment for his 8th grade social studies class. He’s trying to build engagement with online discussion boards through Google Classroom and Flip. He posts thoughtful prompts, but most students either don’t respond, copy each other, or leave low-effort replies like ‘I agree.’ He knows these kids have opinions—they just don’t seem to bring them into the digital space. Mr. Chen is wondering: is it the prompt? The platform? The digital culture? Or is this just a lost cause?
• Padlet Sandbox
• MEAL Plan
• CER
• CANVA
• Scenario 3:
• Mrs. Daughtry is a veteran science teacher who’s always been open to new ideas. But lately, her school has adopted a slew of new edtech platforms: a new LMS, AI feedback tools, quiz generators, and now a parent communication app—all with different logins, layouts, and learning curves. She claims to receive “multiple emails per week” from various admins and coaches touting EVEN MORE options for edtech. Her students are confused, parents are overwhelmed, and she’s spending more time managing tech than teaching content. She’s asking herself: how do I streamline this chaos without ignoring district expectations or shortchanging students?
• Canva
• Google Suite

Guise’s Scenarios:

• Scenario 1:
• You are the edtech coach of a building, and you were just informed that you have two students moving into the high school that speak very little English. Their English level is that of a 3rd grader. Devise a plan to help a core curriculum teacher differentiate a lesson to help these two students.
• NotebookLM
• Diffit
• Scenario 2:
• Each year during awards/banquet season, you are approached with helping make certificates, posters, etc. from the same people. Unfortunately, this year, you have a lot of projects due where you know you don’t have time to get to everyone’s needs. Develop a plan that would help you help them.
• Canva
• Bulk Create app using a CSV file
• Adobe Express
• Scenario 3:
• You have finished your curriculum and have given the final. You have 5 instructional days left to do some type of gamified activity. What’s your plan?
• Kahoot
• Blooket
• Gimkit
• Quizizz
• Digital Escape the Room
• Bonus:
• You are an Edtech podcaster who does an Edtech throwdown against your cohost. You have lost the last 10 in a row. What do you do to make sure you don’t lose the next one?

Edtech ThrowdownEpisode 189: AI in Education: Friend of Foe?Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 189 called AI in Education: Friend of Foe. In this episode, we’ll give you our annual State of Education address as we explore the hot topics in edtech right now. We’ll also debate the pros and cons of AI in education today, this is another episode you dont’ want to miss, Check it out.

Segment 1: Triggering conversations from reading articles Top 9 Trends in Educational Technology to Watch in 2025 by Dirox

Edtech State in Education* AI and Personalized learning * Let’s think outside the box… How can we push the envelope? * Students automating content, running a business, etc * Extended Reality (XR) and Immersive Learning * Virtual field trips to iconic locations * Google Expeditions * Interactive VR labs * Labster * Training tools * Interplay Learning, which teach practical skills such as HVAC repair and solar panel installation. * MicroLearning and nanolearning * Short attentions spans need bite-sized modules * Mobile-first learning * Duolingo * Edutainment * Gamification * Minecraft * Roblox Education * Blockchain and digital credentials * Academic records are stored

Segment 2: AI in Education DebateAI in K–12 Education — Friend or Foe?1. AI-Powered Tutoring Systems Example tools: Khanmigo, Scribe, ChatGPT as a study helper

Pro (Student Learning): Personalized Learning Support

AI can break down complex topics and adapt explanations to a student’s level. This helps struggling learners feel less overwhelmed and get the help they need outside of class time.

Con (Student Learning): Over-Reliance on AI Help

Some students might use AI instead of thinking for themselves. Rather than trying to solve a math problem, they could just ask the bot for the answer—missing out on real learning.

Pro (Teacher Productivity): Less Time Re-Explaining Basics

Teachers can recommend AI tools for practice and remediation, freeing up time to work with students who need more direct attention.

Con (Teacher Productivity): Misalignment with Curriculum

AI-generated explanations might not follow the pacing or methods a teacher uses, causing confusion if students get mixed messages.

2. AI-Generated Writing SupportExample tools: Grammarly, ChatGPT, QuillBot

Pro (Student Learning): Improved Writing Mechanics

Students can get instant feedback on grammar, tone, and structure, helping them refine their writing without waiting days for teacher comments.

Con (Student Learning): Risk of Cheating or Ghostwriting

Some students may copy and paste entire AI-generated essays, which undermines the development of critical thinking and writing skills.

Pro (Teacher Productivity): Faster Draft Reviews

AI-written drafts often require less correction for basic issues, allowing teachers to focus more on higher-level thinking in student writing.

Con (Teacher Productivity): Harder to Detect Authentic Voice

It becomes trickier to tell if a student’s work truly reflects their abilities, making it harder to assess growth or identify areas for intervention.

3. AI in Lesson Planning and Resource CreationExample tools: Curipod, MagicSchool.ai, Diffit

Pro (Teacher Productivity): Saves Planning Time

Teachers can generate slides, quizzes, and differentiated content in minutes, giving them more time to personalize instruction or support students.

Con (Teacher Productivity): Quality and Accuracy Concerns

AI doesn’t always get facts right or adapt to classroom context, meaning teachers still have to double-check and often edit the materials.

Pro (Student Learning): More Engaging and Varied Content

With AI, teachers can easily generate visuals, analogies, and leveled texts to match different learning styles and abilities.

Con (Student Learning): One-Size-Fits-All Feel

AI-generated content may not reflect the specific interests, culture, or experiences of the classroom, making learning feel generic or disconnected.

4. AI for Feedback and AssessmentExample tools: Gradescope, ChatGPT for rubric-based review, Snorkl

Pro (Teacher Productivity): Faster Feedback Loops

AI tools can provide near-instant feedback on writing or short responses, helping teachers keep up with grading and giving students timely insights.

Con (Teacher Productivity): False Sense of Accuracy

AI might misinterpret student intent or nuances in open-ended answers, leading to inaccurate scores or unfair feedback.

Pro (Student Learning): Immediate Feedback Improves Learning

Students can revise quickly based on feedback, reinforcing learning while the content is still fresh in their minds.

Con (Student Learning): Shallow Feedback Can Miss the Point

AI may offer only surface-level comments (like “Add more detail”) and fail to push deeper thinking or skill development.

5. AI Chatbots for Student SupportExample tools: ChatGPT, school-based AI helpdesks

Pro (Student Learning): On-Demand Help 24/7

AI can answer questions about homework, instructions, or even mental health resources when teachers or counselors aren’t available.

Con (Student Learning): Misinformation or Misunderstanding

AI can give wrong answers or misunderstand a student’s question entirely, especially when it lacks specific context or phrasing.

Pro (Teacher Productivity): Fewer Repetitive Questions

AI can handle common questions (“What’s the homework?” or “When is the test?”), allowing teachers to focus on higher-level instruction.

Con (Teacher Productivity): Trust Issues with AI Guidance

Teachers may worry about students getting incorrect info, leading to extra work correcting misunderstandings later.

6. AI in Differentiation and Special EducationExample tools: Speech-to-text, reading level adjusters, AI-driven IEP support tools

Pro (Student Learning): Greater Accessibility for All Learners

AI can read text aloud, translate instructions, or simplify readings, helping students with IEPs or ELLs stay more engaged and independent.

Con (Student Learning): Reduced Human Interaction

Some students thrive on one-on-one teacher support, and replacing this with AI can reduce the personal connection and tailored encouragement they need.

Pro (Teacher Productivity): More Efficient Accommodations

Teachers can quickly modify materials or assessments using AI, instead of spending hours rewriting tests or readings manually.

Con (Teacher Productivity): Unclear Boundaries Around Use

It’s not always obvious what counts as “appropriate” AI help versus over-reliance, especially when creating modifications for specific learners.

7. AI and Student Digital LiteracyExample tools: Any AI requiring prompts or critical use

Pro (Student Learning): Teaches Prompt Writing and Critical Thinking

Students learn to ask better questions and evaluate AI answers, helping them develop a new kind of digital literacy crucial for the future.

Con (Student Learning): Confusion About What AI Can and Can’t Do

Some students may think AI is “always right” or confuse its confident tone for truth, making it harder to develop strong critical reading habits.

Pro (Teacher Productivity): Builds Future-Ready Skills

Teachers introducing AI intentionally can help students become thoughtful users, preparing them for a tech-driven workforce.

Con (Teacher Productivity): Requires Extra Training and Monitoring

Teachers need to stay up-to-date with AI tools, model ethical use, and teach responsible behaviors—adding more to their already full plates.

Edtech ThrowdownEpisode 185: How to Teach Students about AIWelcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 185 called How to Teach Students about AI. Have you ever tried to teach your students about AI, what it is, and what role it can serve in education and their future lives? This is a tall task and in this episode, we’ll discuss how we go about this complex process. This is another episode you don’t want to miss. Check it out.

Segment 1: For years now we’ve been involved in trying to get our district to adopt a formal AI policy. Now that this is happening, we’re being asked to put together an education program for students.

• What is AI?
• What can it do? What can’t it do?
• How can it be used to benefit you while in school? In your future lives?
• How can it hurt you in school? In your future lives?

Segment 2: The Perfect AI Lesson for StudentsWhat is AI?

• Ask students what they think AI is? Share their thoughts in a digital space like Padlet. Facilitate some discussion.
• Show a video that explains what it REALLY is. There are tons of good ones, here are a couple we like
• For older students: https://www.ted.com/talks/mustafa_suleyman_what_is_an_ai_anyway
• For younger students: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttIOdAdQaUE

What can AI do?

• Choose an AI tool to demo (we use ChatGPT). Show three prompts:
• A bad prompt, something very vague that gives a general and bland response.
• A better prompt, something that includes lots of detail and specific requests. Show that this yields a much better response from the AI tool.
• A prompt that gets untrue results. Students need to know that AI tools can give incorrect information, sometimes that it just “makes up” due to lack of other information.
• ACTIVITY: Have students play with prompts: Ask them to try a bad, vague prompt on purpose. Then ask them to try it again but with more specificity, comparing the results. They share out what they notice.
• Provide a prompt library as a resource. Here is a great one from AI for Education.
• ACTIVITY: Ask them to head to TwinPic and try and complete the challenge there. Give a prize to the most accurate recreation.

What Can’t AI Do?

• Hallucinations: LLMs can generate plausible but inaccurate information, also known as "hallucinations". This can mislead users into believing that the generated content is factual and reliable.
• Bias: LLMs can exhibit biases in their responses, often generating stereotypical or prejudiced content. This bias stems from the large datasets they are trained on, which may contain biased information.
• Exhibit True Creativity: Since LLM’s can only repurpose old information, they can’t exhibit creativity like a human can. After reading enough AI responses, you can start to tell a sample of writing is AI generated.
• ACTIVITY: Have students ask ChatGPT to write a brief biography of themselves. Try the prompt: "write a brief biography of [insert name here], a student in [insert town here]” but have them sub in their own names. Have them share the results as accurate or inaccurate.

How AI Can be Used to Help Learning

• Intro Video: https://www.ted.com/talks/tom_gruber_how_ai_can_enhance_our_memory_work_and_social_lives
• Yes AI can write essays for you. But this hurts you long term because then you never learn to write yourself.
• Better prompts that help learning, not hurt it:
• "Proofread my writing above. Fix grammar and spelling mistakes. And make suggestions that will improve the clarity of my writing"
• "I want to learn about [insert topic]. Identify and share the most important 20% of learnings from this topic that will help me understand 80% of it."
• “Give me a step by step guide for solving the following problem. I am a complete beginner.”
• "I am currently learning about [insert topic]. Ask me a series of questions that will test my knowledge. Identify knowledge gaps in my answers and give me better answers to fill those gaps."
• Tools like Khanmigo Writing Coach are tailor made for students and use AI to help you learn, not get around learning

How can AI Hurt Learning and Future

• Using AI to do work for you is academic dishonesty and will be treated as such if suspected?
• AI can save you lots of time, but what are you replacing that time with? If the replacement is scrolling through IG, this is really bad for your brain.
• New research shows that over-reliance on AI results in cognitive decline.
• Tip sheet for battling over-reliance
• Research on the topic as of 2025: https://www.forbes.com/sites/larsdaniel/2025/02/14/your-brain-on-ai-atrophied-and-unprepared-warns-microsoft-study

Fun Wrap-Up Activities:

• Debate about AI and if it’s good or not
• Ask students to create a story about a robot that helps a lost puppy find its way home using facial recognition. After the story, discuss how AI can recognize faces, make decisions, and help people.
• AI Art Project: Kids can use different AI tools like Google’s AutoDraw and DeepArt to create unique artwork. These tools use AI and offer different tools. Kids can draw and transform photos into art in their desired form.
• Create a 3 slide presentation about how they think AI will impact the world in the future. Use Canva presentations and encourage them to use Canva’s AI tools as part of the process.
• Teachable Machine with google. Allows students to train an AI model without any coding experience. Ask them to create an AI model that recognizes different facial expressions or body poses.

Edtech ThrowdownEpisode 182: Using Edtech and AI to Personalize the ClassroomWelcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 182 called, “Using Edtech and AI to Personalize the Classroom” In this episode, we’ll talk about how edtech an AI can personalize both your classroom physical space AND content creation and delivery. This is another episode you don’t want to miss. Check it out.

Segment 1: Narrative: With all the AI and the COVID days behind us, have we lost the focus of personalizing learning for students in the classroom?

Segment 2: Edtech/AI Tools for Personalizing the ClassroomHow can we use Edtech/AI to personalize the physical appearance of the classroom to be a more inviting place to learn?

• Interest-Driven Decor:
• Survey students about their favorite movies, games, and hobbies using tools like Google Forms or Mentimeter.
• Use the results to create themed areas, posters, or bulletin boards that reflect their interests.
• Digital Displays:
• Incorporate smart displays or projectors (e.g., Promethean boards) to showcase rotating slideshows of student artwork, photos, or inspirational quotes.
• Use Canva templates to make slides visually appealing and personalized.
• Interactive Wall Art:
• Use AR tools like QuiverVision to create augmented reality wall displays. Students can scan wall art to see animations or interact with digital layers.
• Mood Lighting:
• Integrate smart lighting systems to adjust classroom lighting based on the mood or theme of the lesson.
• Collaborative Space Design:
• Use Edtech tools like RoomSketcher to co-create the classroom layout with students. Allow them to choose how desks, chairs, or collaboration spaces are arranged.
• Personalized Name Tags:
• Create digital name tags with platforms like Adobe Express, incorporating students' chosen colors, symbols, or avatars.
• Digital Soundscapes:
• Use tools like Noisli or Spotify to set background sounds (e.g., nature, coffee shop ambiance) that align with classroom themes.
• Spotify Collaborative Playlists
• Digital Vision Boards:
• Have students create personal or classroom vision boards using platforms like Padlet or Figjam, which can be displayed on a digital screen.
• Interactive Check-In Boards:
• Use tools like ClassDojo to create a digital check-in system where students can indicate their mood or share a "fun fact" as they enter the classroom.
• Themed QR Code Stations:
• Create QR codes using a generator (like QR Code Monkey) that link to personalized student projects, fun facts, or favorite classroom activities.

How can we use Edtech/AI to personalize our content in the classroom?

• Adaptive Learning Platforms:
• Use platforms like Khan Academy, IXL, or DreamBox to provide personalized practice tailored to each student’s proficiency level.
• AI-Driven Content Creation:
• Tools like ChatGPT or Canva Magic Write can help craft custom lesson plans, study guides, or quiz questions aligned with individual learning needs.
• Student-Generated Playlists:
• Allow students to create playlists of educational videos or podcasts using YouTube or Edpuzzle that align with their interests or learning goals.
• Gamification of Lessons:
• Use platforms like Kahoot! or Quizizz to create custom quizzes or games featuring content and themes relevant to students’ lives.
• Individualized Feedback Tools:
• Use AI tools like Grammarly or Turnitin’s Revision Assistant to provide personalized writing feedback and improvement suggestions.
• Virtual Field Trips:
• Use tools like Google Earth, Nearpod, or Discovery Education to take students on virtual field trips tied to their personal interests or course content.
• AI-Assisted Reading Recommendations:
• Tools like Epic! or Lexia can recommend reading materials tailored to individual students’ interests and reading levels.
• Project-Based Learning Platforms:
• Platforms like PBLWorks or Trello can help students design and track personalized projects based on their unique interests.
• Differentiated Assignments:
• Use tools like Diffit to assign work to groups or individuals, catering to different skill levels or interests.
• AI-Powered Class Insights:
• Use analytics tools from platforms like snorkl ai to identify trends in student misconceptions and tailor activities accordingly.

Edtech ThrowdownEpisode 181: Educational AI Hub BreakdownWelcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 181 called, “Educational AI Hub Breakdown” In this episode, we’ll compare and analyze the mega-AI hubs that are competing for every teacher's attention. By the end, you’ll know which ones we think are actually worth your time. This is another episode you don’t want to miss. Check it out.

Segment 1: Narrative: Holy Hubs

Segment 2: AI Hubs for TeachersWhat are AI Hubs?

• We are using the term “hub” a little incorrectly here. An AI hub is a thing in the tech space where AI models can be trained.
• When we say hub, we mean AI platforms or workspaces that do LOTS of different teacher related things
• Most of these use ChatGPT or something similar in the background. For example, let’s say you wanted to write a lesson plan … you could get the same results if you just went to ChatGPT and put in a very specific prompt, but Magic School’s lesson plan generator has done that for you.
• Also, Khanmigo uses GPT, but it has been specifically trained on the videos and resources held by Khan Academy.

What are the big ones?

• Magic School
• Some free, some paid
• Khanmigo
• All free for teachers
• Eduaid
• Pay for pro features
• Teachershub.ai
• Free for teachers but they do list limits, no other pricing there
• Teach Mate
• For the Brits! Some for free, £6.99 per month and goes up from there
• MIT Sloane
• Can’t find a price
• Theres an AI for That
• ***Teacher Server
• Free for teachers

Episode 175: The British School Replacing Teachers with AI - Can It Work?

Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is episode 175 called “The British School Replacing Teachers with AI - Can It Work” In this episode, we’ll share the story of the british school that is experimenting with a “teacherless” classroom led by AI! We’ll also talk about why human teachers don’t have to worry as we discuss the best ways that AI can integrate with humans, not get replaced by it. This is another episode you don’t want to miss. Check it out.

Segment 1: AI Taking Over Teacher Jobs?

Narrative: We heard lots of gloom and doom about AI in schools, but this is likely overblown.

There IS however, a school that is experimentally trying to replace teachers with AI.

https://www.inavateonthenet.net/news/article/uk-school-to-replace-teachers-with-ai-programme

The David Game College in London will replace its traditional teaching programme with an AI-enabled ‘adaptive learning’ system, opening a ‘teacherless’ course for 20 students in September.

The students will use a mix of artificial intelligence platforms on their PCs, in conjunction with VR headsets. Dubbed the Sabrewing programme, each student will receive a personalised learning experience with a self-paced approach that is ideal for examination resit students.

More on the Sabrewing programme …

One important message for teachers - this WILL NOT BE THE NEW NORM

Stay tuned for segment 2 where we’ll talk about the ways AI will continue to incorporate with live human teachers, not replace them.

Episode 172: Student Centered Learning is NOT the Same as Universal Design for Learning

Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown This is episode 172 called “Student Centered Learning is NOT the Same as Universal Design for Learning” In this episode, we’ll talk about the similarities and differences between Student-Centered Learning and Universal Design for Learning as well as some best practices that support both teaching strategies! This is another episode you don’t want to miss. Check it out.

Segment 1: PD Reflection

Narrative: Kyle Wagner PD Session through the Teach Better Ambassador Program called “Simple Shifts for Student Centered Environments.

• 12 Shifts to Move from Teacher-Led to Student-Centered Environments
• https://www.kylewagner.net/
• Book: The Power of Simple: Transform your school by conquering the standards, individualizing learning, and creating a community of innovators

Segment 2: Student Centered Learning vs Universal Design for Learning

Student-Centered Learning (SCL) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) are both educational approaches that aim to enhance student engagement and success, but they have different focuses and methods. Below is a comparison of their similarities and differences:

Differences:1. Primary Focus:

• Student-Centered Learning: Focuses on student choice and autonomy. The goal is to empower students to take charge of their learning by making decisions about content, goals, and methods.

• Goal Setting

• Universal Design for Learning: Focuses on accessibility and inclusivity. The goal is to design lessons and materials that are accessible to all students, regardless of their abilities, from the outset.

• Strengths and Weaknesses

• Approach to Curriculum:

• SCL: In SCL, students have significant input into the curriculum. They may choose topics of interest and set personal learning goals, leading to a more personalized learning experience.

• UDL: In UDL, the curriculum is designed with all learners in mind from the beginning. It anticipates diverse needs and provides multiple ways for students to access information, demonstrate knowledge, and stay engaged

• Choice Board

• Slidesmania
• Canva.

• Teacher’s Role:

• SCL: In a student-centered classroom, the teacher acts as a facilitator or guide, helping students navigate their chosen learning paths.

• Curation

• Google Sites
• Canva SItes
• Slides
• Wakelet

• Padlet

• UDL: In a UDL framework, the teacher is responsible for designing lessons that are inherently flexible and accessible to all learners, often using a variety of teaching methods and materials.

• Learning Menus

• Playlists

• Adaptability vs. Design:

• SCL: Adaptability in SCL comes through student choice and differentiation based on student preferences.

• UDL: UDL is about designing lessons from the beginning to be adaptable to all students, without needing to make adjustments later.

Similarities:1. Focus on Student Engagement:

• Both SCL and UDL aim to actively engage students in the learning process by catering to their individual needs, preferences, and interests.

• Flexibility in Learning:

• Both approaches emphasize flexibility in teaching and learning. SCL offers students choices in what and how they learn, while UDL provides multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement to accommodate diverse learners.

• Promote Independence:

• SCL and UDL both encourage students to take ownership of their learning. In SCL, students make choices and set goals, while UDL supports students in becoming self-regulated learners through scaffolding and options.

• Check-ins

• Conferences
• Personal Reflections
• Peer Feedback
• Formative Assessment
• Quizizz
• Gimkit
• Quizlet
• Blooket
• Quizalize

• Inclusive Environment:

• Both approaches strive to create inclusive learning environments where all students can succeed. SCL does this by considering individual student interests and goals, and UDL by removing barriers to learning for all students, including those with disabilities.

• Student Centered Learning Guidelines
• UDL Guidelines

Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown This is episode 171 called “6 Tools Tips and Tricks to Blast off Your School Year” In this episode, we’ll talk about the end of summer time crunch and 6 of our favorite edtech recommendations to help blast off your school year! This is another episode you don’t want to miss. Check it out.

Segment 1: Intro

Narrative: Crunchtime and PD Days are here!

Segment 2: 6 Tools

Nick:

• Flaticon for AI guideline markers. Switching from noun project to flaticon. They have way more stuff. All my assignments this year will have different icons to indicate to the students how AI can be used on this type of assignment.
• Using AI as a tutor. Last night ChatGPT helped my wife learn how to reformat 7000 lines of data and then set up formulas based on that data for a work project.
• Tables in Google Sheets: With tables, you can simplify and accelerate spreadsheet building by bringing format and structure to unorganized ranges. By selecting your data range and going to Format > Convert to table, Sheets now does the heavy lifting to format and organize data with a polished design including column types, filters, color coding, dropdown menus and more.

Edtech ThrowdownEpisode 170: Back To School & Refreshing Your Edtech MindsetWelcome to the EdTech Throwdown This is episode 170 called “Back To School & Refreshing Your Edtech Mindset.” In this episode, we’ll talk about how we are preparing to wrap up summer and get ready for the start of the school year. An important part of this is the refreshing of our edtech mindsets - listen in to learn how we’re doing it! This is another episode you don’t want to miss. Check it out.

Segment 1:

Narrative: Getting ready to start the new school year.

Segment 2: Edtech Mindset & Opening Day Activities

• How will you be using Edtech this year? How is this different from years past?
• Nick: Focus on teaching problem solving and getting questions answered, rather than teaching how to use specific tools. So many updates all the time. Constantly changing tutorials and guides to keep up. Why! Instead, teach students to roll with these changes and use resources already there.
• Show them and provide links to website specific tech guides
• Teach them good phrases to google when it comes to tech help
• Ask AI tools for help
• Guise
• I am going to simplify and reduce the amount of tools that students use in the classroom
• Be aware of technology burnout
• 8 class periods a day 3 edtech tools per class = 24 edtech tools students may use
• What advice would you give to new and experienced teachers for using edtech this year?
• Nick: Stick with time-tested tools that have been around and are not likely to go away. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. For example, the recent locking away of Flip shows us that even popular tools can become out of reach.
• Be clear with your AI policies. Don’t be scared of the AI conversation
• What are some edtech activities/tools that you are looking forward to trying this year?
• Nick: Khanmigo for me and School.AI for my students.
• Guise
• MagicSchoolAI and Textblaze

Episode 169: Edtech for Video Discussions AKA Replacers for Flip (Flipgrid)

Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown This is episode 169 called “Edtech for Video Discussions - AKA Replacers for Flip”. In this episode, we’ll talk about the ever popular Flip, formerly known as Flipgrid, as it is set to transition to Microsoft obscurity. Video discussions are a valuable tool, whether you’ll have access to Flip or not and this episode will teach you about them! This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out!

Segment 1:

Narrative: I recently had a teacher ask “what do you recommend we use in place of Flipgrid next year? Flip, formerly Flipgrid is going away …kind of

Video discussions is a weird segment of edtech because it doesn’t really exist outside of Flip (flipgrid)

Replacers are tough because there really aren’t any competitors for Flip that do this exact thing.

Segment 2:

Replacer options:

1. Padlet: Popular interactive learning space.
2. Detailed description: To start posting, double-click anywhere on the board. You can then drag and drop files, paste files, or use the Save As bookmark with Padlet mini. Alternatively, click the plus icon in the lower right corner to add content. You can upload images, videos, audio files, links, or documents. Padlet can be used in many ways, from a brainstorming board to a live question bank, limited only by your imagination. You can even make it collaborative, allowing your students to expand and enhance it with their creativity. Once you're ready, hit publish to share your Padlet. It can be integrated with apps like Google Classroom and various LMS options. Additionally, Padlet can be embedded on blogs or school websites.
3. Canva Presentations and video insert. Tell Ss to click Upload and Record Yourself so they can insert their own video. Use the other presentation space for comments and discussion.
4. Whiteboards would be great for this, but in Whiteboards, when you click Upload there is not a record yourself option.
5. Wakelet still incorporates the Flip camera - will this last … hard to say. There is a free version of Wakelet, but you’ll likely want the paid version.
6. Low “tech” version: Google Slides!
7. Book Creators video option
8. See-Saw video recording options. Seesaw combines instructional tools, standards-aligned lessons, student portfolios, and inclusive communication features. Some teachers use Seesaw primarily as a place for students to share their work, and specifically encourage individual reflection and peer feedback. Seesaw becomes a place not only where student work can be stored, but where teachers and peers can provide encouragement, constructive criticism, and suggestions for improvement. An authentic audience of peers can encourage students to do their best work. Teachers have the opportunity to review any comments before they are posted to ensure that feedback is constructive & appropriate.
9. Quizizz video response question - would only work for showing videos to class as a whole, individual Ss can’t view on their own time.

Episode 168: Leveraging Social Media for Creative Classroom Projects

Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown This is episode 168 called “Leveraging Social Media for Creative Classroom Projects”. In this episode, we’ll talk about how social media inspired projects can put a creative and engaging spin on a variety of classroom projects. This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out!

Segment 1:

Narrative: What are nick and guise’s go-to social media platforms?

Having a class social media account can be a powerful motivator and a great way for some positive PR

Just so you know, Canva can be used as the edtech for ALL of these ideas, but we tried to change it up.

Segment 2:

Project ideas:

1. Make a meme project
2. Example: Generate class rules using memes, learn new vocabulary, identify the novel using memes, describe a historical event (thanks NSTA blog!)
3. Edtech: Just look them up, there are many. Meme Creator, Meme Generator and Quick Meme are some to check out.
4. Gif creation
5. Example: Create a gif that models a series of exercises for certain parts of the body. Each student gets a different muscle group or body part.
6. Edtech: Canva animations
7. Edtech: Lots of video editing platforms let you download the video as a gif
8. Historical figure instagram post
9. Example: Create an instagram post that is a series of 4 (minimum) photos of your assigned figure doing something. One of the 4 must be a “selfie” and they must all be connected to something this person MIGHT post about, were they on Insta today.
10. Edtech: Adobe Express - A great, free Canva alternative
11. Mock twitter debate
12. Example: In this project, students will participate in a mock debate as if they were on the Twitter platform (now known as X). This exercise is designed to improve writing and argumentation skills in Spanish, as well as to encourage the ability to debate respectfully in a public setting. Students will not use real Twitter but will write their posts and comments as if they were on the platform. Debate Topic: "Should cities implement more bike lanes to encourage bicycle use?"
13. Edtech: Create a template in Google slides that has images from real X posts with the words remove. Students insert text boxes on top of those blank spaces.
14. At home science tik tok video
15. Example: Create a 1 minute to 3 minute (tiktok times) at-home science video and explain what is going on in the caption. For example, Slime is popular right now. Make the slime, film it, write a brief caption that explains the chemistry.
16. Edtech: kapcut, davinci resolve
17. Virtual field trip vlog
18. Example: Create a video blog about a place you fake visited using a popular virtual trip website like Access Mars, Google Arts and Culture, AirPano or 360 Cities. Screencasting makes this easy as students must narrate while they adventure virtually. Get fancy and use color keying (green screening) if available.
19. Edtech: WeVideo or other video editing apps/sites
20. Create a facebook profile for a literary figure
21. Example: Assign each student a literary figure (Great Gatsby characters) and ask them to create a facebook profile for the character. Create a template that has all the required elements of a facebook profile (banner image and profile fields like name, school, favorite books, etc)
22. Edtech: Google Slides with the background image locked so Ss can’t mess with it.
23. Environmental campaign on Instagram Reels
24. Example: Create an instagram reel that highlights an environmental concern in your local community. For example, are there any superfund sites nearby? If so, feature one and talk about the cleanup effort if there is one.
25. Edtech: Can use instagram itself! Open the Reel in full-screen mode, tap the three dots in the bottom right corner, and select Save Video or Download. This depends on your IG settings.

Guise’s Books

AI for Educators: Learning Strategies, Teacher Efficiencies, and a Vision for an Artificial Intelligence Future by Matt Miller* Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek * In the U.S. Marines during mealtime, Sinek explains, it’s common for the highest ranking officers to fix their plates last. This not only ensures everyone on the team is fed, but sends an important message: Leaders look after their people first. But Sinek’s people-first approach is only one component of a larger narrative that includes segments on creating a safe environment within your organization—he refers to this as the “Circle of Safety”—and the surprising impacts of what he calls “selfless chemicals” like serotonin and oxytocin on leadership style.

Nick’s Books

• Storytelling With Purpose: Digital Projects to Ignite Student Curiosity by Michael Hernandez: The book:
• Shows how to create uncheatable assessments through student-created story projects
• Helps educators create meaningful learning experiences by integrating edtech tools and storytelling into their curriculum.
• Shows how storytelling can help students activate higher-level thinking to conduct research, process ideas and information, and share the synthesis of these ideas with an audience.
• Illustrates how digital storytelling can help develop a mindset of collaboration, mental agility and resilience.
• Presents student examples, teacher case studies and sample lessons to demonstrate how to integrate student stories into curriculum in authentic ways.
• Offers flexibility, through sample projects that vary in degree of difficulty, so teachers can choose the best option based on their resources and unique situation.
• Schoolishness: Alienated Education and the Quest for Authentic, Joyful Learning by Susan D. Blum (Author)
• In Schoolishness, Susan D. Blum continues her journey as an anthropologist and educator. The author defines "schoolishness" as educational practices that emphasize packaged "learning," unimaginative teaching, uniformity, constant evaluation by others, arbitrary forms, predetermined time, and artificial boundaries, resulting in personal and educational alienation, dependence, and dread. Drawing on critical, progressive, and feminist pedagogy in conversation with the anthropology of learning, and building on the insights of her two previous books Blum proposes less-schoolish ways of learning in ten dimensions, to lessen the mismatch between learning in school and learning in the wild. She asks, if learning is our human "superpower," why is it so difficult to accomplish in school? In every chapter Blum compares the fake learning of schoolishness with successful examples of authentic learning, including in her own courses, which she scrutinizes critically.

Guise’s Podcasts

1. Optimalist Podcast with Sara Candela
2. One of my favorite recent episodes came from the Optimalist Podcast with host Sara Candela. The episode I checked out was with my podcast buddy Bryon Carpenter called "Online Education and Building Tenacious Classrooms." This episode delivered in many ways but I will just mention two in this blog. First, I was introduced to a new podcast with a host who is a great conversationalist. I know Bryon and Sara was able to dig a little deeper and get Bryon to open up a side to him that was very relatable to me. When I listen to podcasts, I am looking for relatability and this episode was very relatable. Second, the segment called "The Joy of Teaching and Witnessing Students' Growth" was pure gold. I laughed a lot and I was able to reflect on my practice to realize that there are many ways to get enjoyment from teaching kids. One of these ways is by witnessing student growth and appreciating the collective efforts that go into this!
3. Tech Tools For Teachers Podcast by Shanna Martin
4. Those of you who listen to our podcast (EdtechThrowdown.com) know that I have three boys who are 8, 6, and 4. My oldest loves exploring and studying weather. At the time, I was looking for ways to keep his curiosity churning. I came across Shanna Martin's podcast Tech Tools For Teachers and her episode called "Fun Ways to Teach Kids About Weather." In this episode, Shanna introduces two websites focused on weather calledWeather Wiz Kids andSnowCrystals.com. This episode afforded me the resources needed to provide my son with some enrichment to further explore his

Segment 2: High Classroom Expectations

Recent teacher conversations about degradation of expectations in class and grade inflation

An IG post from @teachergoals that listed what high expectations should not be and what they should be

Should Not Be:

• No mistakes
• No second chances
• Moving fast

Should Be:

• Doing Challenging Things
• Doing It Until You Get It Right
• Working Hard
• Asking for Help
• Our own addition: Must Show Growth

Specific Tips:

• Doing Challenging Things
• Elevate your assessment style. Rather than asking “who was the 5th president of the US and what was his major accomplishment?”, ask “James Monroe was the 5th president and is credited by many for the Missouri compromise. Explain this compromise and give 3 examples of how it impacted the United States over the next 50 years.”
• Challenging rubrics (not a checklist)
• EdTech: Use ChatGPT for this to help get started.
• Doing It Until You Get It Right
• Don’t accept sub-par work. Nick talk about the comic strip story.
• Develop a second chance policy that works for you. Multiple versions of assessments are not as time consuming with ChatGPT.
• EdTech: This also requires monitoring student progress and feedback. Mote,

GotTechED the Podcast Episode #135: Tips and EdTech for Student PortfoliosWelcome back to GotTechED the podcast this is Episode 135 called “Tips and EdTech for Student Portfolios”. In this episode, we’ll explain some of the benefits of assessing students using portfolios.

This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

Segment 1: Updates1. ISTE Philadelphia

Segment 2: Why or Why not Student Portfolio? Why Use Student Portfolios vs Traditional Assessments

• help your students feel proud of their achievements
• provide students with an opportunity for self-reflection
• provide a great starting point for goals setting
• increase and improve home-school communication
• provide information for evaluation
• provide information for parent-teacher conferences
• make student handover easier
• showcase the efficacy of your school programmes
• Decreased stress

Why do they get left behind?

• Very subjective to grade, Ts feel uncomfortable
• Ts fear Ss will take advantage of the freedom
• Ts question the effectiveness of the portfolio as an assessment tool (does it really work?)

Our Top Tips

• Set goals/expectations/the focus early. Is this for one unit of study? The whole year? What specific skills will it assess? What content will it assess? Is it to show S progress over time or just showcase S work to parents and admin?
• Decide how you will grade it. Rubric? Completion? Provide this to the Ss from the beginning.
• Plan for Feedback … mechanism… when and how feedback will take place
• Consider having a another T to perform standardization checks on your grading
• Explain to the Ss from the beginning the purpose of the portfolio. If they know the benefits they will have more buy-in
• Provide Ss with enough edtech resources
• Class website subpage
• Wakelet
• Google Sheet List by category
• Incorporate S reflections as part of the portfolio
• Require portfolio completion for other benefits in class (retakes)
• Build in presentations

GotTechED the Podcast Episode #133: How does EdTech Support Personalized Learning?Welcome back to GotTechED the podcast this is Episode 133 called “How does EdTech Support Personalized Learning”. In this episode, we’ll define personalized learning and go over some of the many pros, cons, barriers, and benefits to this methodology. We’ll also give several ideas for implementing personalized learning with the help of edtech. This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

Segment 1: Updates1. Iste Philadelphia

Segment 2: What is Personalized LearningPersonalized Learning:

• An educational approach that tailors instruction to meet the individual learning needs, preferences, interests, and abilities of each student.
• UDL

Pros of Personalized Learning:

1. Customized Learning: Students can learn at their own pace, receive targeted feedback, and work on topics that interest them the most.
2. Improved Engagement: Personalized learning can boost student engagement and motivation by allowing them to take more ownership of their learning and pursue their interests.
3. Flexibility: Personalized learning can be delivered through a variety of methods, including online courses, project-based learning, and one-on-one instruction, allowing for more flexibility and adaptability in the learning process.
4. Better Outcomes: Personalized learning has been shown to improve student outcomes, including higher academic achievement, increased graduation rates, and better preparation for college and career success.

Cons of Personalized Learning:

1. Implementation Challenges: Personalized learning requires a significant investment in technology, resources, and teacher training, which can be challenging for some schools and districts to achieve.
2. Equity Concerns: Personalized learning can exacerbate existing inequities in education, particularly for students who lack access to technology or quality instruction.
3. Standardization: Some critics argue that personalized learning can lead to a narrow focus on specific skills and knowledge, rather than a broad and diverse education.
4. Privacy and Data Security: Personalized learning relies heavily on data collection and analysis, which can raise concerns about student privacy and data security.

Barriers to Personalized Learning:

1. Limited Resources: Many schools and districts lack the necessary resources to implement personalized learning effectively, including technology, staffing, and funding.
2. Teacher Training: Teachers require extensive training and support to implement personalized learning effectively, including how to use technology, how to differentiate instruction, and how to monitor student progress.
3. Cultural Resistance: Some educators, parents, and students may resist personalized learning because it represents a significant shift in traditional educational practices.

Segment 3:Curating Your Classroom1. Curated list of Guides 2. How to use Canva for creating awesome presentations? 3. Canva Tutorials 4. Canva Design School 5. Other edtech that you like to use 6. List of YouTube Videos 7. Inspod 8. Give students choice! Choice boards are an easy way to build in small and large scale personalized learning. A simple 3x3 grid in a google slide is a good place to start. Slidesmania and dforlearning.com have some awesome templates to help you get rolling as well. 9. Develop a website that is used!

Feedback

1. Self-reflection: Encourage students to reflect on their own learning progress and provide feedback to themselves.
2. Journaling
3. Blogging
4. Canva Sites
5. Google Sites
6. WordPress Free
7. self-evaluation checklists/rubrics

29. Kahoot!
30. Gimkit
31. Goal setting:
32. Encourage students to set goals for their learning and provide feedback on their progress towards these goals. This can help students stay motivated and engaged in their learning.

Creativity-Based Learning

1. Project-based learning using AI. Teach students how to use AI correctly by building it into a project. Use an image generator like DALL-E to have each student in the class generate a random image. Print them out, hang on the board and move them around in such a way that they can be connected with a story. Students must agree on an order as a large group or in multiple small groups. They then write a story THEMSELVES (no more AI) based on this order of images.
2. Turn a typical assignment like an essay or a lab report into something visual.
3. Use Canva to create a lab report using only pictures.
4. Use Adobe Spark to create a 5 paragraph essay using a series of 5 instagram reels.

Game-Based Learning

1. Not everyone games the same way and edtech tools are starting to account for that.
2. Kahoot for example, offers various modes of game play. You can play a large scale game in class AND assign the game so that students can play on their own at a slow pace.
3. Have students design the game or work together to make one large scale classroom-wide scavenger hunt.
4. Flippity.net has a cool digital board game creator that would allow students to collab on questions and make one classwide game.
5. QR themed scavenger hunt using Google docs or slides and the built in Chrome QR creator.

Segment 1: UpdatesTeachbetter Conference October 14th and 15th Presenting Edtech Throwdown with Stephanie Howell Podcasters Row Free LincSpring Virtual Conference https://linclearning.com/lincstream-teachers-2022/ (https://linclearning.com/lincstream-teachers-2022/) Shout out to our buddy Kyle Niemis who is a former edtech coach who is now working for Quizizz. Where motivation meets mastery https://quizizz.com Motivate every student to mastery with easy-to-customize content combined with tools for inclusive assessment, instruction, and practice. I really like Quizizz because it has been an awesome tool for engaging students both in and out of the classroom. You can assign games for homework or have students work on these engaging alternative assessments in class.  What makes Quizizz one of my edtech tools… it's gamification features and the variety of question types.

This is said to help new concepts and skills sink in for the long term. PLC - professional learning community STEM or STEAM -  STEAM, the difference lies in the way they approach scientific concepts. STEM focuses explicitly on the hard scientific, technological, engineering or mathematical skills to drive progress or create a new concept. In STEAM curricula, per The Conversation, students leverage both hard and soft skills to solve problems.

Segment 1: Updateshttps://www.myedtechbundle.com/ (Myedtechbundle.com) 

Congrats to Nearpod - Guise thought Quizzizz was going to win, haha Segment 2: Mobile Apps for Teachers and Students Cell Phones in school: yes or no? Pro phone: Send reminders to students via text with tools like Remind Students used to use school-provided agenda books, but not anymore. Many keep track of things by taking pictures, adding notes, or calendar apps like Google Calendar Ss can access apps that help them keep track of grades, view work via Google Apps, etc Flipped classrooms allow for viewing content anywhere, shouldn’t phones be a part of that? In the real world they will use phones and use them heavily, why not teach them how to do it responsibly? Teach digital literacy They are inevitable. Why keep fighting a battle we can’t win? Increased safety during drills and emergency situations ESL students can use Google Translate and other apps to help learn

Anti-phone: Distractions Do students really use them as learning tools most of the time? Constantly looking things up online doesn’t promote real learning, critical thinking, and an analytical mind

Guise's Podcasts https://coachingforleaders.com/ (Coaching for Leaders) https://engagingleader.com/podcast/ (The Engaging Leader with Jess Lahey)

Guise Books Educational Duct Tape: An EdTech Integration Mindset A great read for any educator willing to try new tech tools in the classroom. The book provides educators an opportunity to understand how using tech tools can help teachers overcome common problems in the classroom.  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40121378-atomic-habits (Atomic Habits) by James Clear Written by James Clear, a leading expert on habit formation, this book provides a proven framework for creating habits that encourage self-growth. Through practical strategies, Atomic Habits reveals how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the behaviors that lead to remarkable results.

Nicks Books:  From https://www.fractuslearning.com/best-books-for-teachers-pd/ (https://www.fractuslearning.com/best-books-for-teachers-pd/)  Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative by Ken Robinson: “It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can turn in two directions. Turn it one way, and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the other way, and you release resources and give people back to themselves.” Learning to be Creative is one of the best books for teachers to inspire learners and educators to think and act differently toward each other. Teach Like a Pirate by DAve Burgess: Based on Dave Burgess’s popular “Outrageous Teaching” and “Teach Like a PIRATE” seminars, this development book offers inspiration, practical techniques, and innovative ideas that will help the teacher increase student engagement, boost your creativity and transform your life as an educator.

GotTechED the PodcastEpisode #89: 4 Project Ideas for the New School YearIf you are a new listener to GotTechED the Podcast, we would love to hear from you. Please visit our https://gotteched.com/contact-us/# (Contact Page) and let us know how we can help you today! Welcome back to GotTechED the podcast this is Episode #89 called “4 Project Ideas for the New School Year”. In this episode we’ll talk about some of the inspiration we’ve gotten from this past year and how that has shaped the development of 4 project ideas that we want to work on over the summer. This is another episode you don’t want to miss. Check it out. Segment 1: IntroGuise: We’ve had our intro to summer break, ready to get started working again? We’ve put together an episode focused on projects that we will be developing over the summer. Hopefully 1-2 appeal to you as well. Segment 2: Projects We Want to MakeProject 1:Studying with Augmented Reality  https://www.3dbear.io/ (3DBear app) - Students use the 3D Bear app to turn our classroom into a virtual chemistry museum. Different students are assigned various elements, substances, historical events involving chemistry, applications of chemistry in real life. They create that “room” of the museum and share with the rest of the class. Maybe record the museum tour and post on Flipgrid. Free version allows use of pre-made 3d models. Can import their own too if they know how Honorable mentions https://www.experiencerealhistory.com/ (Experience Real History) app https://worldbrush.net/ (World Brush) app - World Brush is an AR experience where users can paint on the world for others to discover. Every painting is anonymous and only visible where it was created. Users have the ability to like, dislike and report paintings which helps hide the bad stuff and showcase the good stuff for others. https://www.curiscope.com/ (Curioscope) app - Our first product, the Virtuali-Tee, is an Augmented Reality T-Shirt. Point our free app (on iOS & Android) at the 100% cotton supersoft tee and watch it bring the Science of Anatomy to life. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/catchy-words-ar/id1266039244?mt=8 (Catchy Words AR) app - Meet a new word game made specifically with augmented reality in mind! Immersive experience without touching the screen. Just walk around, catch the letters with your device and solve the word! ear teachers and parents, you asked, we listened. Finally, we’ve added possibility to create your own word list and solve either one word or entire list in series.

Project 2: Student GIF creation to Illustrate a Concept  Students create gifs as visualizations of various processes or skills. They can create in google slides, stop-motion style, or draw and write live as a screencasting tool records what they are doing. Those videos are then turned into gifs and added to an online chemistry gif library that is available to the world. Screencastify can download video as gifs Lots of great apps do this too like Gif Maker for iPhone

Project 3: Guise’s Unboxing vocabulary/topics through narrative Project 4: More gamification through video (The Phrase Game) 3 rounds 1st word or phrase 1st guess 2nd word or phrase 2nd guess 3rd word or phrase Final Guess Expand on this as a review game each student records a video and pauses after each word or phrase. Give students 15 minutes to complete the class For the remaining time allow students to review the guesses in groups to see how each guess could have been correct or why they are wrong.

From risks that resulted in immediate success to ones that elicited failure and regret, you surely will be inspired by Kyle's story. Take yourself to the edge and become more of a risk-taker in your life and career! #ToTheEdgeEDU Mandy Froehlich https://www.amazon.com/Divergent-EDU-Challenging-assumptions-limitations/dp/1732248796 (Divergent EDU: Challenging assumptions and limitations to create a culture of innovation) The concept of being innovative can be made to sound so simple. We think of a new idea. We take a risk and implement the new idea. We fail, learn, and move forward. But what if the development of the innovative thinking isn’t the only roadblock? What if so much of your day is spent solving the issues around you that even the attempt at developing new ideas is not even on your radar? What if you long to have more divergent teachers in your school district or to be that divergent teacher, but you simply don’t know where to start? This is where I was as a Technology Integrator several years ago. I knew what innovative teaching looked like, but I didn’t know how to support all the other areas that were taking teachers away from having the time and the brain space to think innovatively and divergently.

GotTechED the Podcast Episode #69: EdTech Solutions and Hybrid Learning Updates Welcome back to GotTechED the podcast this is episode 69 called “Listener Mail and Hybrid Learning Updates”. In this episode, we’ll provide an update on our remote and hybrid learning experiences as the 2020 school year gets under way. Following that we’ll dive into our mail bag as we read and answer some of the best questions we’ve received over the recent months. This is another episode you don’t want to miss. Check it out. Segment 1: Remote/Hybrid Learning UpdateSegment 2: MailbagWe’ve been in hybrid learning for 4 weeks and it already seems stale… What can I do to make the classroom interactive and interesting? I am super frustrated with teaching on zoom when my students have Chromebooks. There are a lot of functions such as annotation, choosing their own breakouts, etc that they can’t use. Do you have any suggestions? Digital assessments are now my biggest headache. What do you guys recommend? Now that we are 5 weeks into school and I am feeling better about my teaching situation, what are some edtech tools that you use in your classroom? https://www.nj.gov/education/covid19/teacherresources/virtualproflearning.shtml (https://www.nj.gov/education/covid19/teacherresources/virtualproflearning.shtml) What is a good way to digitally “hand out” materials to my students? There are so many options in my LMS, but sometimes I just want to provide a resource that they can edit and save. I see that you are posting a lot of videos on YouTube about edtech, what projects are you working on now? From Twitter edumentor chat: What are some ways that students demonstrate mastery after completing a hyperdoc. Thanks for doing a PD on podcasting! I never knew how many cool resources there are… What are some other podcasts that I should check out?

Welcome back to GotTechED the Podcast.  We’re going to take a break from our regular podcast schedule to address the issues regarding race and police violence in the United States. Over the last couple weeks Guise and I have taken a pause from creating content to do some reflecting on recent events.  We are sickened by the path that America has taken and the devastating loss of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and many many others that, tragically, are too numerous to name.  This podcast supports all people in their fight for systemic change towards equality, justice and a better America. Segment 1: Nick introduces.  We hope your silence on the issues has been mistaken for inaction or lack of caring. We wanted to make sure that our message was clear and correct. We are a tech podcast, but mostly we are educators.  As educators we feel that we play a critical role in helping to shape the world and the recent racial issues are 

Nick and I both have put a pause on our creation of content to make time to reflect on how we can take action in the movement to make systemic change in America.  As a podcast, we must improve and be more intentional to showcase the works of all genders, races, and backgrounds.  Through reflection and research, we have identified that it is a mistake to think that being a good person and treating others fairly is an actionable step to improve the inequalities of America.  We have identified that words and social media presence is not enough.  Since our content hiatus, we have taken some actionable steps and we challenge everyone to take some too.  Here are some actionable steps that are a part of our plan: We need to educate ourselves on our political leaders so we can vote for people who stand by principals of equality and believe thathttps://twitter.com/hashtag/blacklivesmatter?src=hashtag_click ( )https://twitter.com/hashtag/blacklivesmatter?src=hashtag_click (#blacklivesmatter)  We need to write to our government to ask them to be better and learn from reoccurring mistakes. We need to continue or start conversations with our schools about race, gender, privilege, and equality.   We need to protest and show up with our voice We need to support black, small businesses owners

https://linclearning.com/ (https://linclearning.com/)  Our approach we use is called, Reflect, Tinker, Grow: We created a platform, called LINCspring, for personalized professional development. 

What is Blended Learning? There are many different ways to define blended learning. The most referenced definition comes from the Christensen Institute: The definition of blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns:

at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace; at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home; and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience. 

What is the https://linclearning.com/download-the-paacc-framework-playbook (PAACC Framework)? Personalization: Providing unique learning pathways for individual students Agency: giving learners opportunities to participate in decisions about their learning Authenticity: giving learners the opportunity to create for a real audience both locally and globally Connectivity: giving learners opportunities to experience learning in collaboration with their peers and experts, locally and globally  Creativity: giving learners opportunities to make things that matter while building skills for their future
