Moments before Mars slipped behind the full #Moon 🌕 tonight

Math teachers, I'm working on a story for @edutopia, and I'm curious:. What apps or digital tools have become your go-to resources to enhance instruction over the last few years?.

What do you want to know?.

I posted a bunch more variations here. (No text = better desktop wallpaper.). As a bonus, here's the graph I created to accurately represent Outer Wilds' solar system. (Small spoilers ahead.).

I finished #OuterWilds last week. Phenomenal game on many levels. But, @Mobius_Games, I couldn't help but notice that the (lovely) planetary poster on the ship wasn't actually to scale. So I went ahead and made a version with accurate planet sizes and orbit distances. 🤓

RT @CanvaEdu: We can't wait to see teachers making magic with this feature. 🌟 What a fantastic use case for the classroom. Thanks for shar….

Excited to be trying out a new style of video for @edutopia. Hopefully it's useful!.

Teachers & librarians, I'm working on an @edutopia story about sci-fi books that help MS/HS students better understand the modern world—books that explore technologies like AI or weigh in on social & political trends. Do you have any sci-fi books you'd recommend I include?.

RT @Jonharper70bd: This deep dive into student work refusal left me more informed and with new strategies I can try next time I am faced wi….

It's Day 2 of #SXSWEDU — @tatertutt and I are here representing @edutopia!. 1,000 speakers. 400 sessions. 🤯. If you have suggestions of sessions that Edutopia should attend, please let us know!. And, teachers, we're always excited to hear about topics you'd want us to cover!

Math teachers, what are the lessons and activities you turn to for making math more relevant to students?. I'm working on a story for @Edutopia and looking for strategies that connect math to kids' real-world experiences. Please share what works for you, and thanks for the help!.

RT @edutopia: Today, the majority of girls start puberty before age 10. Boys follow soon after. With puberty arriving earlier than ever,….

Part of my conversation with Cohen became a beautiful animation by @vargergo, which I helped produce. It's on how the "jigsaw method" of group-work can promote collaboration and empathy. That's it for now. Excited to keep working on more stories in 2024!.

which I narrated and helped produce. That was a fun one; there are a lot of education myths out there that still need busting!. Lastly, I really enjoyed my conversation with social psychologist @GeoffCohen about concrete ways schools can boost belonging.

Many of the classroom-quieting strategies in that one were fielded directly from our audience, so a big thanks to the @edutopia community!. I also did some video work this year. I distilled a popular research-backed article into a script for a short video,

and visited three NJ schools back in May to see how they were integrating climate ed into gym, math, and English classes. Up next, I have to mention 34 Ways to Quiet a Rambunctious Class, which was an audience favorite — over 100,000 views!.

I really enjoyed hunting for the most engaging, affordable classroom uses of AI. Another exciting one to write: Teaching Climate Change in Every Subject. I wrote about New Jersey's new mandate to incorporate climate education into every subject area,

Here's a thread of some of my favorite stories I wrote for @edutopia in 2023!. First up: 9 Tips for Using AI for Learning (and Fun!). AI is here to stay, so I wanted to compile some fun ways teachers can make the most of it in the classroom.
