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

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

A two-panel graphic comparing how a balloon animal giraffe scales. The left panel, "BEFORE," shows the giraffe's outline and "TONY" text remaining thick when the image is scaled down. The right panel, "NOW," shows the outline and text scaling proportionally with the giraffe.

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...

Just one way, but I made a Team slide show with pictures, how things work, contact info, etc. I also usually go to Open House to meet families!

@ditchthattextbook.com any idea on this? TIA!

Kristin Daley Conti @daleyscience.bsky.social · Jul 30

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

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

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