Spoke w/Class 2029 about responsibilities when it comes to working w/tech at BHS. Shared logistics,CB etiquette & expectations of them now that they are high school students. Advocating for oneself is also highlighted and there are tech tools out there to support all learners. #SheilSpiel #nhed

My learning from today - It has been awhile since I have taken a look at Looker Studio and was surprised to see that responsive layout is an option. A user can design a dashboard that adapts to different device modes phone/tablet/laptop This is a much needed enhancement #EduSky #googleEDU #nhed

I know it is not a secret that I am a big fan of Canva for Education. I appreciate the ability once a design is put together to see if it has been designed with all in mind. Learn how easy it is to make necessary changes. #CanvaEDU #DesignForAll #nhed #EduSky www.canva.com/design/DAGfG...

I learned that there is now a space designer assistant in SchoolAI. Space designer can help cut down on time in creating just the right space for students. I have helped sciences teachers create an introductory forces space & an english teacher create a reading reflection space. #genAIEdu #AIEdu
