#students decided to #make an Arts Festival to explore different mediums and ways to interpret expression. #collaboration to #create engaging, #interactive activities for visitors at the Poetry Cafe, Storytelling Circle, Music & Movement, and Art Gallery of world art! #inquiry
#making coat hanger bubble wands to see if we can make big bubbles for our Spring Fling #thirdGrade bubble station! #STEM #STEAM
Students bursting with ideas and questions during #writing! The topic: What is #poetry? Great #discussion in circle, activity at the #wonderWall, a #mindMap with things we see, think, wonder about #poems. Bonus: two kids created categories and sorted questions on the wonder wall!
Love the visual element of this ABC #Maker list! Second the priority: first define the “why” then do the shopping/outfitting. #STEAM #STEM #design #innovation #create #make #makerspace
The force is strong in this one… #Inspiration from @learning2 Paris continues. No more waiting. Repurchasing resources so I have them here and can create guerrilla #maker moments! #STEM #design @makeymakey You can put a #STEAM teacher in the #classroom but…😅
Finishing touches on projects before spring break! I love having kids quietly #crochet and #knit in class during choice time, before school, or even morning meeting. It’s calming and focusing. They are so proud of their work and inspiring each other! #handcrafts #PYP #inquiry
Thinking of what I might be able to present at this one… It would be nice to give back at a conference that has fueled me so much over the years.
Did you love building connections at #learning2 last week?
Save the date! We are back March 20th 2025 in Switzerland.
Inspired by #Learning2 session by Michal Valente “TechTales: Unleashing #AI for Engaging #Education” I made a mystery activity to help #students think about different types of #action and motivations. #Discussion complex & invested! #storytelling #problemBasedLearning @learning2

#Learning2 is finally here! Wishing everyone an incredible event full of connection and community!
Started our Agents Of Change unit of inquiry yesterday. For our #provocation the children opened a time capsule! See Think Wonder after examining the artifacts before revealing the letter from Marie Curie. (See comment for second part of how it went!) #inquiry #PYP #learning
T-minus 8 for Student Led Conferences this lovely Saturday morning! Excited for the students to share their learning! #PYP #SLC #Conferences #student #learning #agency #proudTeacher
Excited about using #ChatGPT to innovate teaching methods! It's not just about quick answers but fostering critical thinking & question formulation among students. AI is a tool for deeper engagement, empowering learners for the future. #EduTech #AIinEducation
Third graders collaborated to #design and build models of a city. They learned about #city systems and sustainability. We have a city on Earth, Mars, the ocean, the arctic, and underground! #inquiry #PYP #handsOnLearning #making #UOI #urbanPlanning #grade3
Thinking about the connection between #coding, #knitting and #crochet. I am only finding some resources or studies. If you know any, please share! Seeking to learn and frame connections to strengthen #math and #computerScience with hands-on #handcrafts! codecademy.com/resources/blo…
How can #AI like #ChatGPT be harnessed and used to help students #learn? My third graders and I were just talking about #research and resources today and AI definitely came up. We have to adapt and grow with it! #edTech #innovation
"Yes, AI tools can be used to copy. But just as a pen can be used to write poetry, create art or solve equations, AI can be used to provoke thought, enhance understanding and encourage learning."

Ready to play! I just got my Micro:Bit in the mail. @Learning2 @microbit_edu preliminary exploration ahead of the preconference workshop: Make to Learn! How Integrating Making and Robotics can Amplify Learning. #edTech #robotics #inquiry #learning #STEAM #STEM
Intrigued to learn more in this session. Using #AI #artificialIntelligence #ChatGPT to integrate narratives and #storytelling effectively into my #teaching “practices to foster engagement, understanding, and application of concepts.” #techEd #techIntegration #innovation
Questions bubbling up about applications for AI and storytelling?
