As I study how AI impacts coding, I've developed another teacher tool. A free way to set up and organize groups with student input on roles. NO student data collected! Easy to use! If you use groups in your classes- here: groupupclass.lovable.app #teacherapp #aiinedu

I am learning about AI coding. The limitations, what it means for teaching coding, and benefits. I've been tinkering and created an app for myself to use. What if anyone could create apps they wanted more easily? #whatif #codingwithai teacher-translator.lovable.app

Love to see what students create- here's the first logo / laser project of this semester! We have laser users at SPHS! #laser #makered #designthinking #spsdme #studentart

I remain excited and optimistic about how AI can be used as a tool and assistant to creativity and development. www.edweek.org/technology/a... #aiintheclassroom #AIforedu #cstamaine

Tried a new way to introduce storyboarding- had students form groups and try to ID famous storyboards. It was fun to watch and a great intro to an important step in production. (Also: nothing better than a student labeling Sound of Music Apocalypse Now. Guess they both have war? ;) )
