Students with disabilities are legally entitled to specialized support in school. In practice, specialists leave, substitutes lack training, and coordinators are overwhelmed. An AI prompt configured as a Socratic mentor can help close that gap. Read more: miriambogler.substack.com/p/special-ed...

When a student knows their math approach is wrong but can't find the error, AI shouldn't give them the answer. It should ask them why. Here's a lesson built around exactly that miriambogler.substack.com/p/the-ai-tri...

The moment a student gets a solid draft in 30 seconds, the temptation to stop there is real. If your classroom hasn't defined what thinking looks like with AI — that temptation wins. New newsletter on building a culture where students stay in charge: miriambogler.substack.com/p/ai-in-your...

85% of teachers use AI. Only 14% of districts have a policy. That gap is where real harm happens. The question isn't whether to allow AI — it's how to govern it. New newsletter breaks down what the districts getting it right have in common. Newsletter link: miriambogler.substack.com/p/the-questi...

Students hit an unknown word, make a reasonable guess, and get no feedback on whether they were right. So they stop trusting their own thinking. This 4th grade AI guide fixes that, not by restricting AI, but by giving it a different job. Read it here: miriambogler.substack.com/p/what-chang...

Teachers: stop trying every AI tool at once. Match the problem to the tool: For lesson planning use MagicSchool For differentiation use Diffit For study materials use NotebookLM For admin & emails use Copilot or Gemini Full breakdown: miriambogler.substack.com/p/which-ai-t...

AI becomes Herbert Hoover. Students debate the New Deal against him. I built a prompt that turns AI into historical opponents using only primary sources. 12th graders tested it—defending Brown v. Board while AI argued as Senator Russell. Full breakdown: miriambogler.substack.com/p/your-stude...

What if AI made writing harder instead of easier? A 12th grader just wrote 1,500 words by responding to AI plot twists every 200 words. No planning. Just creative problem-solving. Writer's block dropped. Story completion jumped. Full method: miriambogler.substack.com/p/ai-turned-...

I watched an 8th grader discover math through real-time AI visualization. She predicted changes, saw parabolas transform instantly, and learned in 20 minutes what normally takes weeks. 40% better retention. She SAW it happen, not memorized it. Newsletter: miriambogler.substack.com/p/she-saw-th...

Students use AI for homework but never question what it tells them. The fix isn't banning AI. It's teaching kids to verify, question, and judge for themselves. Built a Socratic framework that does exactly that. Newsletter: miriambogler.substack.com/p/ai-isnt-th... #Education #CriticalThinking

In 2021, our best students couldn't evaluate sources. Now they ask AI to do it for them. I built an AI that refuses to give answers—only asks questions. A frustrated 6th grader learned real research skills. See the full transcript: miriambogler.substack.com/p/ai-wont-do...

Are you tired of AI assessments that sound like robots? I built a prompt that interviews you about YOUR classroom, then builds custom prompts that match your voice. A teacher cut assessment creation from 3 hours to 18 minutes. Details: miriambogler.substack.com/p/a-simple-s... #EdTech #TeacherTools

AI lesson planners give teachers generic templates that need 2+ hours of editing. The CLEAR method fixes this: give AI 5 pieces of context about YOUR classroom, build in 4 phases, get a usable lesson in 15-20 minutes. Full guide: miriambogler.substack.com/p/stop-wrest... #EdTech #Teachers #AI

A math teacher told me: “AI doesn't work for math. Kids just use it to cheat”. She is right, but you can engineer AI to refuse answers. I built a prompt that only asks questions. Students solve, calculate and do the thinking. Full guide: miriambogler.substack.com/p/the-one-wa....

Teachers don’t need more AI lessons. They need lessons that use AI. Read how Grounded AI Literacy through Authentic AI Integration helps teachers meet goals, not lose time. miriambogler.substack.com/p/the-ai-les...

Most AI training for teachers is useless. It teaches you about AI, not how to use it in your actual subject. Before using AI in class, ask: Does this need me? Does it fit my curriculum? Will students think or just get answers? New newsletter: miriambogler.substack.com/p/3-question...

Stop grading what AI can fake. One teacher's rule: AI for planning YES, final products NO. Students submit 2 screenshots + 1 paragraph explaining decisions. Result? Cheating got harder. Thinking got visible. Grade the mind, not the model's output. Link: miriambogler.substack.com/p/stop-gradi...

Teachers fear AI will write essays for students. I created a prompt that makes it impossible. The AI only asks questions. Never provides content. Tested it with a 10th grader. She couldn't cheat. Had to think instead. Full story: miriambogler.substack.com/p/the-ai-pro...

Teachers are drowning in dropdown menus when they need to be teaching. One teacher tried an AI platform. 17 dropdown menus for one reading passage. My simple prompt provided a week of differentiated lesson with only 5 questions. No menus. Just works. miriambogler.substack.com/p/differenti...

28 students. At least 5 reading below grade level. You know they need personalized content, but you create 2-3 versions max. I built an AI prompt that handles the rest. Copy, paste, answer 3 questions. Done Read: miriambogler.substack.com/p/your-strug... #EdTech #TeacherLife #ReadingIntervention

What if students used AI to CREATE math problems instead of solving them? I tested this with a 3rd grader. The AI only asked questions. The student built a 5×5 puzzle and understood it deeper because they built it. Full guide: miriambogler.substack.com/p/students-w...

Most AI tools hand students the answers. This one doesn’t. It questions, listens, and pushes them to think. See how a 4th grader analyzing Fish in a Tree turned confusion into insight. 🔗 Read: The AI That Refuses to Give Students the Answers miriambogler.substack.com/p/the-ai-tha...

What if AI asked questions instead of giving answers? The SPARK method helps students discover their storytelling abilities through guided questioning. Fourth-grader Jonathan went from "I loved Fish in a Tree" to writing his own story. Read how: miriambogler.substack.com/p/why-this-a...
