This appears to be the Google video editing tool we yearned for in Distance Learning. In my first 7 mins of exploring, it feels as collaborative and intuitive as I anticipated from Google. Bravo!🎈🎉 #edtech
If you haven't explored Google Vids with your students, you should! Easy collaboration, solid library of stock images/gifs/sounds, and the script feature is a dream !

AI focused workshops w/ @bureau start next month. NPR's Marketplace Tech reported last week that 7 in 10 teens use AI on assignments. Let's discuss implications for the WL classroom together, leverage tools for proficiency-oriented teaching, and design multimodal assessments.
As we focus on building relationships and classroom community in the new school year, consider designing communicative tasks that have an affective element.

Amazing start on Day 1 of the AI Symposium hosted by @Microsoft & @AFTunion in downtown Chicago. Great sessions led by folx on cutting edge of development & integration. Meeting some amazing people from all over.
A great start to Week 1 w/#amla604 with my M.Ed. WL grad students today. Folx connected from Worthington, MN to Nairobi, Kenya to ask #langchat personality @MmeFarab questions ranging from teacher burnout to assessing effectiveness of learning technologies tools. Today was rich!
The feeling after an enthusiastic, "Yes!" from @MmeFarab to join your #amla604 class, Motivating (WL) Students via Technology during synchronous class for a visit. Our @cordmedinwl M.Ed. students have connected w/ the Olympic soccer team equivalent to #langchat personalities.
We believe it is critical that all students learn healthy digital citizenship skills. Today, we released ISTE #DigCit lessons to help build a healthy school digital culture.
You can download these lessons for K-12 for FREE! iste.org/digital-citizenship…
What are other #k12#teachers and #admin doing to creatively repurpose time for conferences in 2024 beyond email, phone & hybrid F2F confs? Our building is exploring creative ways to utilize contract time to connect with families regarding student progress.
Show this to the next grumpy person that uses the line, "Kids these days..." @BlaineHS students showed up 35 minutes before class to brainstorm ideas to create content for student advisory and a parent/guardian session on AI & academic integrity. #AHSchools
Thrilled to add "Using AI Tools & Strategies to Advance Target Language Proficiency" into the mix of national presentations this spring. Find out more information on sessions by visiting tinyurl.com/darylboeckers and clicking on <Workshops>.
Thinking ahead to my own summer reading list, I'm always curious what other teaching & learning books other educators are reading. I'll soon be adding "Empowered Educators" to my own list. What are 1-2 of your suggestions to consider for adding to the list?
#tbt to when 4 preparations of curricula fit on a 100MB zip drive from 2001-2003. It's a great reminder of how far we have come (in many ways) when cleaning out a home office.
Today was rich! We wrapped up an amazing book study of "Learning First, Technology Second" by @lkolb with a video conference session. My colleagues arrived with great questions and Dr. Kolb was generous with her time guiding us on moving forward with @TripleEFrame. #grateful
Super stoked to host @BlaineHS Flex PD book study group interview author @lkolb via video conference WED about her background, Q&A, showcasing our own lesson transformations & suggestions about next steps as a building. Looking forward to teacher reflections about format also.
Last Monday I had a chance to co-present with Alex, our new LMS @BlaineHS on the topic of formative assessment before facilitating a stations exploration session on AI inspired by @mcleod and our reading department. This week’s focus in CTs: getting a pulse on PD needs for March.
SHARE WIDELY! Important Research...K-12 Teachers! We want to hear from you! We @UMichEducation are conducting a national study to find out how well prepared you were (from teacher prep) to integrate technology into your teaching? tinyurl.com/edtechteacherpre…
Anyone in MN implementing the new @MnDeptEd science standards and willing/ able to share their 6-8 scope and sequence and/or unit outlines? @OfficialNGSS
