🤔🧑‍🏫 Compliance is not engagement. @lyonsletters defines engagement as a continuum from compliant to absorbed, with compliance being a disengaged person who is extrinsically motivated. #studentengagement #TeacherTech

Voice Typing in Google Docs is very good! Tip: Google Docs' voice typing feature supports a variety of punctuation commands, such as "insert comma" and "new paragraph." #GoogleEDU #GoogleDocs #TeacherTech #EduSky

"Every child deserves to do meaningful work once they finish these books, building a reading community one book, one conversation, one connection at a time." @pernilleripp #EduSky

📊 When lesson content starts in a Doc, moving it into Slides does not have to mean rebuilding everything. Doc to Slides turns headings into slide titles and separates content automatically. workspace.google.com/marketplace/... #EduSky #GoogleEDU #GoogleWorkspace

Have students who are Spanish speakers? ReadWorks also has classroom content in Spanish that can be used to differentiate. Check out this Spanish language article on desegregating US education. www.readworks.org/article/Dese... #ReadingComprehension #ReadWorks #BlackHistoryMonth #EduSky

Mac Users Quickly get to the emojis 🤣 👉 🤷🏻‍♀️ ✅ Command Control Spacebar I have this on muscle memory, had to really look at what I was doing to add this tip :) #KeyTips

Almost all digital math platforms I have seen do NOT have students engage in the 8 mathematical practices. Every lesson, students should be engaging in at least ONE of these practices. Does the EdTech being sold to you weave these in? Be skeptical of programs that don't. #MathChat #EduSky

"Engagement is the degree of attention, curiosity, interest, optimism, and passion that students show when they are learning or being taught, which extends to the level of motivation they have to learn and progress in their education." - National Research Council, 2003 #studentengagement #EduSky

One tip for effective group creation is to NOT let students choose their own group. grouper.school can help you design groups based on attributes you assign. alicekeeler.com/2025/02/07/t... #GroupWork #EdTech #EduSky

📝 Turning written content into assessments does not need extra copying or reformatting. Make a Test pulls questions directly from a Google Doc into a Form, keeping the original structure intact. workspace.google.com/marketplace/... #EduSky #GoogleEDU #GoogleWorkspace

"Organizing files into folders is helpful but then you have so many folders it’s hard to find our files past the folders." alicekeeler.com/2023/09/17/t... #GoogleDrive #GoogleWorkspace #TeacherTech

In Google Docs Default text is "Normal Text" Change to Headings In the View Menu enable "Show outline" Automatically creates navigation in the left sidebar. #GoogleDocs #GoogleEdu #GoogleWorkspace #EduSky

🖼️ Creating clean, consistent thumbnails for Slides or Drive files can make resources much easier to spot. Easy Thumbnail Maker helps generate thumbnails quickly so files look organized and intentional instead of random. workspace.google.com/marketplace/... #EduSky #GoogleEDU #GoogleWorkspace

Spreadsheets are often seen as tools for numbers but they are also powerful for collaboration. Have students work together in a shared Google Sheets file to analyze real world data. This builds communication skills and critical thinking at the same time. #GoogleSheets #GoogleEDU #Edusky

Want to do MORE with Google Forms? Unlike other Google Apps, you must find Add-ons under the 🧩 PUZZLE PIECE Go to the 3 dots more options menu to install Add-ons. #googleEDU #googleForms #GoogleWorkspace #EduSky
