Spent the day outside with kids today. That’s my favorite! #scitlap #optoutside

Student: “ I low-key love making these”. Me: “Same” #OnePager #retrievalpractice #science

D5 of #DitchSummit - Can I just say how much I ❤️retrieval & how much it's already part of my classroom?! In a cool circle of events, I originally learned about RP on DS from @retrievelearn.bsky.social & @patricebain.bsky.social ,who even gave me a pg in her book! Thank U to Dr. Blunt for more ideas!

I’m going to Ditch Summit, a FREE online conference for educators from Dec 15 to Jan 11. Topics include student engagement, AI, school culture, technology, practical teaching ideas, and much more! ➡️ Register at ditchsummit.com

When you turn P-T conferences into a deli counter! #tlap #scitlap #ditchbook

Art and nature are the perfect compliments to each other! Happy Saturday! #scitlap

Sometimes, as a middle school teacher, you think they forget about you - then something like this happens. 💚 #tlap #scitlap

This project is one of my favorites things I've ever been a part of. Check out Our Chestnut Project! 10 years of kids being part of one of the biggest de-extinction projects to ever exist! #tlap #scitlap tantasquachestnut.weebly.com

Originally learned this from @mrmatera.bsky.social , but HEXAGONAL THINKING might be my favorite discussion/critical thinking activity! #tlap #scitlap #ditchbook

Brisk Certification Level 1! credsverse.com/credentials/...

Here are 8 activities that can help middle schoolers imagine possible careers and futures—plus a free download of 30 career exploration cards! edut.to/4meLu5h #EduSky #MiddleSchool

Notice anything different about Google Slides? The selection box now has corner circles and side handles. Even better: resizing multiple objects scales borders and text proportionally. No more fixing after shrinking or enlarging! #EduSky #EdTech #GoogleEdu

I learned about this chart at a recent MassCUE AI Palooza - I think it would be a great school-wide resource,everyone can reference the same scale to use with their Ss. #edusky #ditchbook #tlap @ditchthattextbook.com - I thought of you immediately and wanted to share. leonfurze.com/2024/08/28/u...

You know how we are bombarded with AI tools for edu? I made this informational text and liked it but I have no idea what program I used. Does this format look familiar? I think I used state science standards to create it. Help! #EduSky #ISTELive2025 #ditchbook #tlap #AI

Ran out of room for my hashtags! #SummerSchoolDiaries #EduSky #tlap #scitlap #ditchbook

Not gonna lie, I'm nailing summer school. Focusing on retrieval, exec. functioning, reading/writing, & data. Ss are coming more than they are required. The vibe is that "this is actually kind of fun"! Today Ss are researching local restaurants and writing CERs to convince me to get them some apps.

In today’s edition of #SummerSchoolDiaries we tried out WeWillWrite! The feedback (from kids traditionally not that into school) was that it was kind of fun and they’d do it again! #EduSky #WIN #tlap #ditchbook

Making GEMS is my new favorite activity! today I made a quote generator! #EduChat #GoogleGemini

Are there any Edu Chats going on this summer? #EduSkyChat #EduSky

Today's summer school plan stars Escape Rooms by @karlymoura.com ! Having fun with multiplication! #SummerSchoolDiaries #Ditchbook #EduSky VirtualEscapeRooms.org

Everyone keeps coming to Summer School with drinks! So I made a coaster logo with ChatGPT! Now, can I get them printed?! #SummerSchoolDiaries #EduSKy #SummerSchoolRunsOnDunks!

I have a middle school science resource page. I'm taking all of my study guides and making them @wayground.bsky.social LESSONS! #EDUSky #tlap #scitlap #ditchbook sites.google.com/tantasqua.or...

Did a little conferencing today and it really paid off. I wish I did this with this student earlier in the year. #SummerSchoolDiaries

@ditchthattextbook.com Looks like the #ditchbook fam needs to get going with making some BTS unboxing videos! This has some cool potential! youtu.be/KqaKDhwTW1Q

Summer School Diaries - The boys are chilling listening to an audio book. #SummerSchoolNotThatBad #EduSky #tlap #ditchbook

Staying up late making GEMS! SO fun!! #edusky #ditchbook #scitlap #tlap #GoogleGems

Little Google Classroom Hack - put an emoji in front of your class title to make the icon have something other than a letter! #Edusky #tlap #ditchbook #scitlap #GoogleClassroom

Google Tools are perfect in the classroom - but you can use them at home too. Every year I make scrapbooks for my kids (even if they are getting too old)! #EduSky #GoogleTools #GoogleEDU #GoogleSlides

Today I worked on making an AI Assistant for my BTS SlideDeck for Families. I tried Gems, SchoolAI, and NotebookLM. All do a little of what I want, but nothing was perfect. More productive struggle later! #EduSky

🚀 Join me at #ISTELive! ✨ Come join me at a session or stop by to say hi in the expo hall 👋🏻 I'll be sharing tons of free resources, diving into AI, and giving away books! 📌 All the details you need are below ⬇️ and at ditch.link/ISTE25! #ISTELive25 #ISTE

Good Morning #ISTE and #NotAtISTE. I'm sitting at my computer this morning, playing around with Gemini and GEMS. If anyone has a streamed session going on - I'd love to join! 😀

TODAY Google announced a BUNCH of great new updates! This year I'm especially impressed and excited by how many of these updates are FREE. Google is also expanding access to features that used to be premium (i.e. Google Vids) to EVERYONE! #GoogleEDU #ISTE2025

Feeling disconnected from my edu friends. I cancelled my Twitter account last year with hopes of 🦋 Bluesky taking it’s place. Am I just not on here enough? Are people still back @ Twitter? Chats are just not the same. FB and TT give me some connection, but I need my people ! #EduSky #tlap #ditchbook

Google! You made my day! Love the new "Quick Link" Feature!! #GoogleClassroom #EAG #EduSky

Our first collection of poetry releases TOMORROW!! But you can pre-order today! I Really Need You to Hear This by the amazing, Kim Bearden!!! She writes poems from the viewpoint of many of the types of students that are in our classes to help us understand them. a.co/d/cpmENAw #tlap #dbcincbooks
