March is here, and when March enters the picture, I know we are 3/4 of the way through our school year. With the mild February, I am hoping March is even better, but of course we live in Illinois which means at least one more snow, before spring actually arrives.
- Stickity - This is a new ADD ON (Extensions) in Google Slide and Docs for TEACHERS. You will notice that I have used some of the March stickers this month and the arrow which highlights Spring Break week. Take a look, I bet you love them!
- When AI Art Meets Music - This article talks about how to use AI apps to expand creativity. Carl Hooker is amazing. I was fortunate enough to see him in person at a conference last year and he was good. This article expanded my thoughts on creativity and how it can be used in the classroom. This activity is a great opportunity for attention getters, as well as starting the conversation about AI picture generators. Need some help in getting started? Just let your tech coach know.
- Visual Book Lists - Each one of these lists gives book recommendations on books. You can use the template. (Canva to edit) or download the .png. (picture). The nice part about the Canva option is you can edit books you have in your own library, or request new ones be added. I know I saw a couple I had not seen before.
- Slido - This extension for Google Slides is great to use to grab real time survey results from your class. Use it all day to grab data from all your classes or create separate slido's to individualize class data.
- Quarterly Unit 5 Instructional Technology Updates: These updates starting in 2024 are going Quarterly. Take a look inside for:
- AI District presentation followup
- Women in History Month resources from platforms we are licensed on.
- Podcast segment with Cool Cat Teacher.
As always, I hope you get at least one thing out of these each week, which keeps you coming back for more.
