I don't know who needs to hear this, but like, having the objective on the board doesn't guarantee students are aware of the learning.

When it comes to edtech, the focus should always be on using it to improve the learning experience. It's not about using tech for tech's sake, but rather finding ways to incorporate it in ways that enrich the educational journey.

Sometimes I think I'm bad at my job as an instructional tech coach when people are like, "How can I integrate technology into this activity more?" and I'm just like, "Maybe don't?"
Tech opens some really cool doors, but not all of those doors benefit focus or learning.

Along with teaching, I am also a student. I use ChatGPT to transform my notes into mc questions organized into rows/columns to copy/paste to a spreadsheet, which I upload to Quizizz or Kahoot. The images show this process that takes minutes. My peers ❤️ me for this! #MyAIProcess

Feeling stressed? I created a "Self Care September" challenge to help anyone who works in a school (or anyone who breathes, tbh) to learn small, practical ways to take care of themselves. Give it a try!

We need to explicitly model and teach the skills we want students to use!
"Putting students in a group and saying, 'Hey, go do this,' isn’t going to work. Spending time working with students to plan the groups, learn norms and routines, and understand what it means to be part of the classroom culture is key," @MrsSaid17 writes.

Crazy that this was exactly one year ago, given that yesterday was my first official day as an #fcpsSBTS! So pumped to be a Robinson Ram 🤩
Takeaway of the night: this role is primarily about the people, NOT the technology. Super excited to dive in and learn more! #AspiringSBTS

Student (interrupting Community Circle):
“I finally figured out why kids like you. You make us forget you’re the teacher. You blend in.”
Me: “Well, Makayla, I am just a member of our class.
Sometimes, I have to be the head human, but most times, I am just one of the humans. – at Cheney, WA

Love this “bad drawing”. It’s a mindset I hope to convey to students. I stopped memorizing formulas a long time ago. It’s made all the difference.

Student:
“Mr. Wamsted, my mom wants to get a big dog & a small dog. That’s weird, right? Shouldn’t she get 2 big dogs or 2 small dogs?”
