Building an AI curriculum for our school, both in French and English. Priority is ethics, then we move to using with students. Planning on training teachers as well. Very nice challenge ! Going through all resources gathered during summer, thanks to everybody who shared ! #AI #DigitalCitizenship

Lots of fun for our annual #Hackathon! 5th & 6th graders got together for two hours and had to solve five coding problems, and also create a nice poster based off Matisse artwork. They used #Ozobot, #Maqueen #Scratch and a PixelArt program. #LyceeChicago

Students build their houses in #Luanti #Minetest to learn how to use it. We’ll soon move to building the gone Home Insurance Building of Chicago, the first skyscraper ! @juliencremoux.bsky.social #LFCedutech

Still impressed by code.org to teach basic block coding skills to K students. Curriculum is awesome, with a mix of online activities and unplugged ones, setting up a class is a breeze, student connection is fun and easy, privacy is great. All for free ! #EduSky

#Hourofcode coming up ! We’re enjoying #lightbot in K to work on our coding skills. I’m amazed at how some students get to the point of using functions 🤩

If they install the US International keyboard in their Chromebook, there's an easier way : just the apostrophe and then the letter. We use that with all our staff and students !

Working on a 12 Days of Techmas for my colleagues, any suggestions on what I could share that could be helpful, cute, unexpected or just fun? We’re a preK-12 grade school. I always shared in my Newsletter a lot of major tools, I’m wondering about gems I didn’t have to opportunity to present. #EduSky

How to protect yourself on the net? How about by not putting your picture everywhere? With our 3rd graders, we created avatars using www.nevacross.com and ladigitale.dev/digiface/#/. You get to choose what face you want to present to the world! They put those avatars as their account image. 🤳🤪🧙‍♂️🫥

French competition #ConcoursCastor is just short activities you have to solve using logic. Our 4th and 5th graders love it because you have to keep trying and no knowledge prerequisite. Many students have a newfound self confidence when doing it !

Kevin Nouvel @knouvel.bsky.social · Oct 24

#ConcoursCastor is a great French math/logic competition for 4th to 12tg grade. 45 min to solve logical challenges: everybody starts with same base !

We finished our #Minestory project in 4th grade: rebuild the #ArtInstitute ! Awesome collaboration work using #Minetest, with lots of measures, math and creativity 😁👷🏼‍♀️🏛️
