The spider graph visual rubric from @meehanedu.bsky.social is a wonderful way to change it up and get students to reflect on performance in a new way. edrenalinerush.com/2018/08/07/s...

Honored to share that I’ve been selected to join the Pulitzer Center’s Information & AI Teacher Advisory Council! I’ll be working with amazing educators & journalists across the country to explore AI, ethics, and accountability in education. #AIed #PulitzerCenter #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

Teachers: as the annual #BitcoinConference is currently underway this week in Las Vegas... two questions: 1. Do you personally own any Bitcoin? 2. Do you ever have occasion to introduce anything about Bitcoin as part of any of the curriculum you currently teach? #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

On a Peloton workout today and heard the instructor drop a pretty amazing mantra. “You deserve more than easy.” In an age of so much artificial, this is a powerful reminder that real work is often hard work - isn’t just about finding the fastest shortcut. #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

Coming soon from #EMC2Learning! Honored to develop real, relevant, and RIGOROUS resources to help teachers discover the power of play in their classrooms. One thousand plus resources and counting! #EDUsky

Coming in late June! Guesses on the new name? “QuizAi” feels like it’s almost too obvious. 🤔 #Edusky

At the (brick and mortar) bank & need to tell a (flesh and blood) banker why I’d like to wire a chunk of my (fiat) currency. How many of these things will not exist in the same capacity in 20 years? What are schools doing to prepare our students for their future? #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

New blog post! Murph: Lessons from the Memorial Day Hero Workout emc2learning.com/murph-lesson... #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

Google's doodle today is a simple, subtle, and classy way to honor the fallen and commemorate this day where we remember those who've made the ultimate sacrifice. How can we, as teachers, bring similar intentionality into worthy causes within our lesson design? #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

Which educator accounts on this platform do you find to be the most interesting and important? #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

They say your favorite class is the one where that you like the most. But your best class is the one where you learn the most. Do you thing it is possible for a single class to be BOTH of those things? And if so, how? #EDUsky #EMC2Learning

Admit it. You're interested. 😎 #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

New blog post (annnnd all new zero prep review activities — perfect for the end of the year)! emc2learning.com/who-will-sur... #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

Teachers: How do you feel about receiving PD content that has *clearly* been generated almost entirely by AI? (Podcasts, blog posts, form emails) Now let’s apply the same standard to students on the receiving end of our lesson plans. We all deserve better. #EMC2Learning

Hard at work on new resources for #EMC2Learning. Love designing activities that challenge our students to fuse content knowledge with creativity so we can create EPIC learning experiences that last! #EDUsky

Ran a timed mile today for the first time since taking about six weeks off from the gym. Clocked in just under 11 minutes. My last timed mile before the break was just under 8 minutes. Humbling. But a powerful reminder. Consistency always wins. #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

New blog post! ONE. THOUSAND. resources from #EMC2Learning (and counting). Celebrating a huge milestone today, and crazy excited to see where we will go next. Come join the fun! emc2learning.com/one-thousand... #EDUsky

What do you look for when reading an educational book for PD on your own time? (Please feel free to add examples of titles you’ve enjoyed!) #EMC2Learning #edusky

Hot take for today’s future-ready classrooms! Thoughts, teachers? I’m inclined to agree wholeheartedly. #EMC2Learning

Looking for a fun new education podcast? Thrilled to have had the chance to catch up with Meghan, Candace, and the No Name Paper crew for a lively chat on all things engagement, EDU, and AI! Check it out right here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n... #EMC2Learning

New blog post! “We Don’t Talk About Crypto” (And Other Teaching Taboos) #EMC2Learning emc2learning.com/we-dont-talk...

Teaching teens about AI? This is super insightful! #EDUsky

Good morning, #edusky! Who is the most inspirational keynote speaker you’ve ever had the opportunity to see present live? #EMC2Learning

New blog post! A Note from the Pope on the Future of Education #EMC2Learning emc2learning.com/a-note-from-...

I was scrolling through my timeline & discovered that in the past year, I’d only posted just over 100 times. There was a time not so long ago when I’d literally make 100 posts a week on Twitter or more. What’s the best place for teachers to connect online? #EMC2Learning

Educators should take note. When the leader of one of the largest religions on the planet selects a name to reflect the most urgent issues of his time (and directly mentions Artificial Intelligence)… the game has changed. What are our schools doing to meet it? #EMC2Learning

Yes to all of this!!! (To say nothing of even broader discussion of ethics, morality, social justice, and the very notion of dignity and human rights) #EDUsky #EMC2Learning

Bitcoin is trading for just over $103K. Whether you believe in crypto or think it’s all just one big pyramid scheme, it’d be PERFECT to explore in our classes. Math (economics) History (research) English (debate /ethics) World Lang (global currencies) Science (environmental impact) #EMC2Learning

This article is paywall protected, but... Is this AI revolution really just saying the quiet part out loud? Students have ALWAYS looked for shortcuts in systems that consistently prize the product over the process. The game is afoot. It’s time for a reset! #EMC2Learning

Our 30-day challenge rolls on! Are you FOR or AGAINST the use of AI in our schools? What’s YOUR favorite AI tool for teaching and learning? Drop a reply and tell us why you love it. Let’s build a killer crowd-sourced list of classroom-ready tools! #EMC2Learning

New blog post and a pretty major personal life announcement! Ready for some lesson planning insight that is truly the stuff of LEGEND?!? #EMC2Learning emc2learning.com/10-lessons-w...

Looking to bring a little AI flair into your teacher workflow? This site is FANTASTIC! (Be sure to sort by "FREE" tools if you're on a budget)!! aieducator.tools #EMC2Learning #EDUsky

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! What accounts do you follow on this platform that others should add to their list of folks who inspire, support, and help guide them in their professional growth? #EMC2Learning

This is really cool! #EDUsky

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! I’m taking part in a 30 day challenge all month long to celebrate the best that social media has to offer educators around the globe. What sort of content are you looking for on this site that would help you feel appreciated? #EMC2Learning

A word of caution amid a world of AI tools that can now automate so much: Yes, we are tired & overwhelmed. Yes many of these tools promise to make life easier. But. If we want our students to work harder for us, we must be willing to work harder for them. #EMC2Learning

FREEBIE resource for any course or content area! Go bananas with this hilarious student-centered debate activity. Simply pop in a topic from your current unit of study and watch creativity run wild! emc2learning.com/go-ape-for-a... #EMC2Learning

Experiment time: join me for a 30 day challenge to see how Bluesky #EDUsky stacks up against Twitter! Inspired by @mrmatera.bsky.social's 30-day challenge & the Kaizen Way, we’re testing if real PD & connection can still be foundd online. Full story👇 emc2learning.com/30-days-to-s... #EMC2Learning

Super excited to share these rockin' all new collections of resources from #EMC2Learning #Edusky emc2learning.com/pedagogy-pla...

Took a LOT longer than you'd think! But I'm super impressed with this result -- lots of iteration, prompt refinement, and critical thought went into building the "perfect" A.I. action figure. Would love to see how teachers might use this in their classrooms! emc2learning.com/pottery-prom... #edusky

I’ve been tinkering with ChatGPT’s action figure prompt for days & still can’t quite get it just right. Not gonna lie - I kinda love seeing failures more than the wins! Process > product is a powerful example for our students. #dbcincbooks @burgessdave.bsky.social @taramartinedu.bsky.social #edusky

This is promising! But I’m still not sure this platform has fully found its footing just yet. Anyone have any good hashtags, accounts or threads to follow? #edusky

What’s the hubbub, #edusky folks? Excited to reconnect with so many old friends and new faces here on the butterfly app.

😅

Celebrating 10 years of O’Connell Hall and the man himself with old friends at @catholicuniversity.bsky.social. Throwback to our “Cardinal Era” ❤️🖤

A few days late, but this shirt is simply too fun not to share. 🍀🏋️
