Excited to talk design thinking & student-led learning at #SpringCUE by @joincalie ! @juliegoo2 & I will share how we integrate ideas from Susie Wise’s “Design for Belonging” book into learning that has Ss design to improve belonging & respect among peers. Hope to see you there!

Really enjoying these pre-made A.I. activities by @Seesaw this week! Such a great way to start the convo about A.I. with my 3rd grade #CSed Ss. We’re learning what A.I. is & where Ss already see A.I. used in their lives— from Alexa to TV show recommendations, & maps. #CSedWeek

Great discussions & questions about A.I. this past week in my 4th-6th grade classes, as we practice prompting to generate images in @AdobeExpress ! Love Ss thoughtful questions about the ethics, safety & environmental impacts of artificial intelligence tech. #CSed #CSforAll

Watched a tutorial during my morning prep, and had my 1st @figma Design created & laser cut (earrings maybe?) by lunch. So fun!! So I decided to teach my #MakerEd 7th & 8th Ss their first lesson in the afternoon. Can’t wait to see what they create!

Teaching #CSed to some of the younger grades again this year, so of course had to launch with our @hellorubyworld “What Is A Computer” unit! 2nd graders had a blast learning about hardware by building model computers. #CSforAll

Middle school maker class is rocking their first project of the trimester— hand sewn softies. Learning the running stitch & blanket stitch = excellent fine motor skill work! #MakerEd

I 💙 this so much! For their final, some of my gr8 Ss wanted to create an animatronic hand to sign ASL w/@raspberrypi Pico. It took hours of classes, lunch breaks & drop-ins just to build & code a few fingers to move. So proud of their hard work & dedication! #CSed #MakerEd

Play is essential to social, emotional, and academic learning. It is important that we continue to build play into academic learning throughout the school day.

Loving @MLforKids in 6th grade this week, as Ss learn more about how AI & machine learning work. Ss experimented w/training the computer to recognize faces in Scratch while creating either their own “filters” or “face locks”. #CSed #CSk8

Wrapping “intro to color theory” unit in 6th this week. Ss learned about color relationships, esp complementary colors, high contrast & accessible design. Plus we learned brush skills & watercolor techniques. Their complementary “pop art” is beautiful! #MakerEd #csk8 #CSed
