Episode 210: AI Prompt Writing for Educators

Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is episode 210 called “AI Prompt Writing for Educators.”  In this episode, we’ll explore the power of prompts and how they can be the difference maker for those who use AI effectively and those who fall behind.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss.  Check it out.

Segment 1: 

Narrative:  People still have an extremely wide range of engagement with AI.  Nick has two conversations about AI - 1 with his in-laws about AI telling people to commit crimes and 1 with another teacher who thinks it just writes papers for students.

1. Anatomy of a good prompt

1. Don't just ask a question; tell the AI who it is and who it is talking to. This sets the tone and the "knowledge ceiling" of the response.

• What to include:Give it a job title (e.g., "veteran IB Biology teacher") and define the target audience (e.g., "students with no prior coding experience").

2. Be incredibly specific about the verb. Avoid "Help me with..." and use "Analyze," "Draft," "Critique," or "Categorize."

• What to include:Provide the "raw material." If you want a rubric, paste the assignment. If you want a response to a parent email, paste the email.

3. Tell the AI exactly how you want the information delivered. Don't settle for a wall of text.

• What to include:Specify the format (e.g., "a 3-column table," "a bulleted list of 5 items," or "a formal email script"). Add constraints like "Keep the total word count under 200" or "Use a witty, encouraging tone."

Be purposeful with your AI use.  Always ask - is there a reason for me to use AI here?  Would it benefit my brain to do this myself?  Sometimes doing even simple tasks yourself have benefits to maintaining your mind's own plasticity and critical thinking.  You’ll notice that many of our favorite prompts are for monotonous, time consuming, repetition-based tasks that would not be possible without the use of AI.

Segment 2: 

Our favorite prompt libraries:

• Teacher Server
• https://www.aiforeducation.io/prompts
• https://promptbase.com/
• https://gail.wharton.upenn.edu/prompt-library/
• https://www.thepromptindex.com/

Our favorite prompts:

1. Multiple versions of the same question:  Here is an AP Exam question about topic X: ____copy paste in the question ____.  Can you write 8 more versions of this that all follow the same format but have different numbers and variations of each question.
2. Meta search:  Find for me all the ___ exam questions that deal with ___topic___.
3. Text leveller:  "Take the following text about [Topic] and rewrite it into three versions:

• Version A (The Hook):Written as a high-interest TikTok script for a 14-year-old.
• Version B (The Standard):On-grade level with 5 bolded 'power vocabulary' words.
• Version C (The Scaffold):For a student with a 3rd-grade reading level, using short sentences (max 10 words) and a 'one-concept-per-paragraph' rule. Include a 'Bridge Table' that helps Version C students eventually understand the key terms in Version B."

1. I struggle with coming up withreal-world examplesof things.  "I’m teaching [Mathematical/Scientific Concept]. Give me 5 'weird' real-world applications of this concept in careers students wouldn't expect (e.g., fashion design, professional gaming, or forest management). For one of these, draft a 2-minute 'Lesson Hook' story that starts with a high-stakes problem only this concept can solve."
2. Jeopardy Clue Writer
3. You are a Jeopardy Clue Writer.  Anytime an AP Biology term is entered, you will create a jeopardy clue using the AP Biology standards set by the AP College Board.  For example, if someone entered Charles Darwin into the prompt, you would respond with: He developed the theory of evolution by means of natural selection after a five-year voyage on the HMS Beagle.  Let the output be Times new roman font size 12.
4. Add study guides or notes to
5. Garbage Pail Teachers
6. Role and Goal
7. You are the Garbage Pail Teachers Creator. Your purpose is to take an uploaded photo of a person and a provided name (first or last) and transform them into a high-quality, 1980s-style trading card parody. You specialize in gross-out humor, puns, and classroom-themed chaos.
8. Image Generation Guidelines
9. When a user uploads a photo and provides a name, use the image_generation tool with these specific aesthetic requirements:
10. Art Style: Classic 1980s trading card aesthetic. Hand-painted look with airbrushed textures, vibrant but slightly grimy colors, and thick outlines.
11. Characters: The character must be a caricature of the person in the photo, reimagined as a "teacher" in a messy, surreal, or gross-out school setting.
12. The Sticker Frame: The image must be encased in a classic die-cut sticker border (a white peel-off line) with a colorful header at the top.
13. The Banner: The header must say "GARBAGE PAIL TEACHERS" in the iconic bubbly font.
14. Naming Logic: Create a rhyming or alliterative nickname based on the provided name.
15. Example: For "Guise," use "Greasy Guisey." For "Smith," use "Sickly Smitty."
16. Place this name in the iconic nameplate bar at the bottom or side of the image.
17. Creative Process
18. Analyze the Photo: Identify key features (glasses, hair style, expression) to maintain a "parody likeness."
19. Teacher Theme: Place the character in a classroom context (e.g., covered in chalk dust, tangled in computer wires, eating a "rotten apple," or melting into a desk).
20. The "Gross" Factor: Add a humorous, mildly gross-out element consistent with the original 80s cards (slimy textures, exaggerated expressions, or comical disasters).
21. Interaction Style
22. Stay in character as a mischievous 1980s trading card editor.
23. When a user provides a name, confirm the "punny" nickname you’ve chosen before or during the image generation.
24. Safety Note: Keep the humor "PG-13" gross-out (like the original cards). Avoid mean-spirited content, gore, or truly offensive imagery. Focus on "slapstick mess."
25. Keep the correct spelling of the name.  Have the adjective start with the same letter as the name.  For example, if the inputted name was "Guise"  make it "Greasy-Guise or if the name was "Johnson" make it "Junky-Food Johnson"
26. AP Biology Lesson Plan Generator
27. You are an AP Biology teacher making formalized lesson plans using the College board AP Biology Standards.  You must include the following parts of the lesson plan for each lesson: lesson objectives, standards, warm up, instructional strategies, closing activities, differentiation of instruction and/or assessment, and assessment techniques. I will provide the activities and topic for the lesson and you fill in the blanks.  Format on canvas mode and make sure each part of the lesson plan is bolded.  Please format suitable for a google doc.  Make sure The title of the lesson is The Unit # and Lesson # with the title of the lesson and that everything under each section is bulleted. Please don't use emojis in the lesson plan

      Episode 207: Tips and Tricks for 2026: Chrome and Gmail

      Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is episode 207 called “Tips and Tricks for 2026: Chrome and Gmail”  In this episode, we’ll talk about some of our favorite tips for surfing the web with chrome and sending or receiving emails in Gmail.  Hopefully these hacks can help make your day a little easier.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss.  Check it out.

      Segment 1: Lost but Now Found

      • Restore lost or accidentally Control Shift T Command Shift T on a MAC
      • Zoom in and Out
      • Control +/-
      
      

      Segment 2: Edtech Tips and Tricks

      Google Chrome Tips and Tricks

      Nick

      1. QR Code
      2. Go to the site > Three Dots > Cast,Save, and Share > Create a QR Code
      3. Smart PDF Highlighting
      4. Use the "Link to Highlight" feature in Chrome. Right-click any text on a webpage and select "Copy link to highlight." When students click it, they are taken exactly to that sentence on the page.
      5. Use Google Lens to grab text from images.  Go to the 3 dots > Search with Google Lens > drag around the image with the text you want > choose Copy Text
      
      

      Guise

      1. Add Tab to Group (Right click on a tab, hit add to group)
      2. Send Tabs Across Devices 
      3. If you find a recipe on your laptop but want to take it to the kitchen on your phone, right-click the tab (or the address bar) and selectSend to your devices. 
      4. It pops up as a notification on your other device instantly..
      5. Make the site an APP: Go to the site > Three Dots > Save and Share > Install page as app. It will now have its own icon in your Taskbar/Dock and won't get lost in your tabs. 
      
      

      Gmail

      Nick:

      1. Find Large Attachments
      2. Type larger:10m in the search bar to find every email taking up more than 10MB. It’s the fastest way to clear storage space.
      3. Schedule Send Later
      4. Templates (Canned Responses)
      5. Enable this in Settings > Advanced. Save your standard "Late Work Policy" or "Meeting Request" as a template. To use it, click the three dots in a new draft and hit "Templates."
      
      

      Guise:

      1. Undo Send
      2. Go to Settings > See all settings > Undo Send and change it to 30 seconds. It’s the ultimate "safety net" for typos.
      3. Archive
      4. The "Plus" Addressing Hack
      5. If your email is teacher@gmail.com, you can use teacher+newsletters@gmail.com to sign up for sites. Gmail ignores everything after the +, but you can create a Filter to automatically label or skip the inbox for anything sent to that specific "plus" address.

      Episode 206: Google Vids vs Canva Video and WeVideo

      
      

      Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is episode 206 called “Google Vids vs Canva Video and WeVideo”  In this episode, we’ll talk about a new-ish Google app called Google Vids and how it stacks up against other popular classroom video creation tools.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss.  Check it out.

      Segment 1: What is Google Vids?

      
      

      Narrative: Have we ever solved the problem of fast and easy screencasts?  A teacher asked me that this week and I realized I didn’t have a great answer.

      ScreenPal has an extension, but the increased tools make it slower

      WeVideo has an extension, but it is clunky and not free

      Screencastify still exists, but have to pay after 10 videos

      
      

      Released:  Google Vids was first announced and released in preview during Google Cloud Next in April 2024, with a wider rollout to all Google Workspace users starting in November 2024 as an AI-powered video creation tool for work. 

      
      

      What is it?  It is a video editing platform that feels more like creating a Google Slide than a video editing platform.  Is this a positive thing … not sure yet.

      
      

      Free Basic Version: All users get access to the web-based editor, allowing recording, importing clips, using templates, and basic editing. 

      
      

      AI Extras (Paid): Advanced AI tools, such as AI-generated clips from prompts, AI avatars, and enhanced script/outline generation, require paid Google Workspace or AI plan subscriptions. 

      
      

      What can it do?

      • Screen records with or without webcam
      • Converts slides to video
      • Upload your own photos and videos for editing
      • Has video templates with title slides, animations, etc.
      • Multiple layouts: landscape, portrait, square
      • Has stock audio from Youtube audio library - good music!
      • Has most, if not all, typical video editing tools: playhead, video preview, splitting, multiple track editing, etc.
      
      

      
      

      Benefits:

      • Integration: Works directly within the Google ecosystem, integrating with Google Drive for easy access to files. If you are a Google school, this platform will look familiar to your students
      • Sharing:  familiarity is key.  You can share you vids projects just like a doc or slide.  We tested simultaneous editing, it works well
      • Relatively simple to use.  I was able to start editing and creating many different types of videos immediately.
      • Downloads are very simple, better than the WeVideo we use with Ss now
      
      

      
      

      What Can’t it Do:

      • 10 minute time limit - this is a big one
      • "Slideshow" Nature: The primary criticism is that Google Vids is essentially an AI-assisted presentation or slideshow creator, not a full-fledged, cinematic video generation tool. The resulting videos are often described as similar to a Google Slides presentation with transitions.
      • Limited Professional Polish: Veteran video content creators may find the final products lack the polish needed for professional demos or external use, making it better suited for internal team updates and presentations.
      • AI Inconsistencies: The AI's selection of stock media can be "hit-or-miss," sometimes resulting in nonsensical or irrelevant images or video clips being inserted into the project.
      • Lack of Control and Customization: Users have noted difficulties with customization and a lack of granular control.
      • Theme customization is difficult, with limited options to easily change colors and fonts.
      • Export resolution settings are not adjustable, leading to potentially pixilated output when starting with high-quality source footage.
      • Limited stock media selection (music, images, voiceovers) means assets may get recycled across different projects.
      
      

      
      

      
      

      Segment 2: How does it compare to others?

      
      

      
      

      What we think:

      
      

      1. As a tool for fast and easy classroom video creation:
      2. Nick thinks… Vids!  Or Canva if I want it to be social media-ish
      3. Guise thinks…
      4. As a tool for complex video editing:
      5. Nick thinks … WeVideo (we already pay for it), Vids if we didn’t pay for it

         Episode 206: Google Vids vs Canva Video and WeVideo

         
         

         Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is episode 206 called “Google Vids vs Canva Video and WeVideo”  In this episode, we’ll talk about a new-ish Google app called Google Vids and how it stacks up against other popular classroom video creation tools.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss.  Check it out.

         Segment 1: What is Google Vids?

         
         

         Narrative: Have we ever solved the problem of fast and easy screencasts?  A teacher asked me that this week and I realized I didn’t have a great answer.

         ScreenPal has an extension, but the increased tools make it slower

         WeVideo has an extension, but it is clunky and not free

         Screencastify still exists, but have to pay after 10 videos

         
         

         Released:  Google Vids was first announced and released in preview during Google Cloud Next in April 2024, with a wider rollout to all Google Workspace users starting in November 2024 as an AI-powered video creation tool for work. 

         
         

         What is it?  It is a video editing platform that feels more like creating a Google Slide than a video editing platform.  Is this a positive thing … not sure yet.

         
         

         Free Basic Version: All users get access to the web-based editor, allowing recording, importing clips, using templates, and basic editing. 

         
         

         AI Extras (Paid): Advanced AI tools, such as AI-generated clips from prompts, AI avatars, and enhanced script/outline generation, require paid Google Workspace or AI plan subscriptions. 

         
         

         What can it do?

         • Screen records with or without webcam
         • Converts slides to video
         • Upload your own photos and videos for editing
         • Has video templates with title slides, animations, etc.
         • Multiple layouts: landscape, portrait, square
         • Has stock audio from Youtube audio library - good music!
         • Has most, if not all, typical video editing tools: playhead, video preview, splitting, multiple track editing, etc.
         
         

         
         

         Benefits:

         • Integration: Works directly within the Google ecosystem, integrating with Google Drive for easy access to files. If you are a Google school, this platform will look familiar to your students
         • Sharing:  familiarity is key.  You can share you vids projects just like a doc or slide.  We tested simultaneous editing, it works well
         • Relatively simple to use.  I was able to start editing and creating many different types of videos immediately.
         • Downloads are very simple, better than the WeVideo we use with Ss now
         
         

         
         

         What Can’t it Do:

         • 10 minute time limit - this is a big one
         • "Slideshow" Nature: The primary criticism is that Google Vids is essentially an AI-assisted presentation or slideshow creator, not a full-fledged, cinematic video generation tool. The resulting videos are often described as similar to a Google Slides presentation with transitions.
         • Limited Professional Polish: Veteran video content creators may find the final products lack the polish needed for professional demos or external use, making it better suited for internal team updates and presentations.
         • AI Inconsistencies: The AI's selection of stock media can be "hit-or-miss," sometimes resulting in nonsensical or irrelevant images or video clips being inserted into the project.
         • Lack of Control and Customization: Users have noted difficulties with customization and a lack of granular control.
         • Theme customization is difficult, with limited options to easily change colors and fonts.
         • Export resolution settings are not adjustable, leading to potentially pixilated output when starting with high-quality source footage.
         • Limited stock media selection (music, images, voiceovers) means assets may get recycled across different projects.
         
         

         
         

         
         

         Segment 2: How does it compare to others?

         
         

         
         

         What we think:

         
         

         1. As a tool for fast and easy classroom video creation:
         2. Nick thinks… Vids!  Or Canva if I want it to be social media-ish
         3. Guise thinks…
         4. As a tool for complex video editing:
         5. Nick thinks … WeVideo (we already pay for it), Vids if we didn’t pay for it
         6. Guise thinks …
         7. As a tool for teacher screencasting:
         8. Nick thinks … ScreenPal because I pay for it, Vids if I didn’t
         9. Guise thinks … 
         10. As a tool for professional or social media style videos:
         11. Nick thinks …Canva
         12. Guise thinks …
         13. Will we use Google Vids over other tools like ScreenPal, WeVideo or Screencastify?
         14. Nick thinks … No, but if and when we don’t have paid tools, YES
         15. Guise thinks …

                 Episode 200: Is Google Gemini the Ultimate Educational AI?

                 Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is Episode 200 called Is Google Gemini the Ultimate Educational AI?  In this episode, we will discuss the good and the bad of Google Gemini as we try to answer the question - is this the ultimate educational AI tool?  This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

                 
                 

                 Segment 1: 

                 
                 

                 Congrats on episode 200 - we had a plan but scheduling conflicts and a busy schedule pushes us back.

                 We’ve been presenting like crazy and Google Gemini keeps popping up.  It does what school ai does.  It does what magic school does.  It’s “safe”.  This raises the question … is it the ultimate tool?

                 • Google is a behemoth and we are feeding it (in the words of matt miller).  Remember that Google is offering this for free so they hook us all in to their world.  Is this inherently bad … im not sure.

                     Episode 198: Educators as AI Guides: Crafting Resources for Families and Communities

                     Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is Episode 198 called Educators as AI Guides: Crafting Resources for Families and Communities.  In this episode, we will walk through a step by step process that educators can follow for creating AI resources that are not just for staff and students, but the community as a whole.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

                     
                     

                     Segment 1: 

                     
                     

                     We are concluding a 3 year journey that has attempted to establish AI policy, share the ai policy with staff and students, teach staff about ai, teach students about ai, and the final phase … teaching the community.

                     
                     

                     One thing that still surprises me is the number of people (usually adults) who don’t use AI.  Maybe they disagree with it, maybe they don’t know where to go or what to do, or maybe they just don’t care.  But everyone has a stake in at least knowing what these tools are capable of.

                     
                     

                     A local library reached out to the school district and asked if we would collaborate on creating, sharing and presenting resources from the school so that the community could learn from them AND be aware of what schools are doing with AI.

                     
                     

                     This is our journey, laid out in a step-by-step manner so that it might help others trying to accomplish the same thing.

                     
                     

                     
                     

                     Segment 2:

                     
                     

                     1. Establish policy at the highest levels possible (board, superintendent, etc).
                     2. Must start here so you have a legally backed document to fall back on
                     3. This can be slow and painful
                     4. Start identifying the stakeholder’s opinions
                     5. Teachers,
                     6. Students
                     7. Administrators
                     8. Parents
                     9. Have a focus group to help with wordsmithing
                     10. Identify proper use/misuse
                     11. Establish an “AI director” for the district
                     12. Not a new position, someone who already has a tech role
                     13. This person is responsible for maintaining and updating the resources and plan that follows
                     14. This person may also want to recruit a small team to help them build out and present the materials (tech coaches, media specialists, etc)
                     15. Create a public space to clearly communicate that policy
                     16. Website is probably the best option, social posts are too fleeting
                     17. Could also be a document that gets linked somewhere, like a school website
                     18. Create easily digestible versions of that policy
                     19. “Infographic” that policy!  No one likes to read policy, so make it digestible in the form of an infographic
                     20. Shoe-horn it as an FAQ page
                     21. Beautified PDF or Canva doc
                     22. Canva slide deck - make it presentable and informative since this is what people will likely go to for policy information
                     23. Create a public hub that collects AI resources for everyone
                     24. To me, website is the only option here
                     25. Needs to be linked to the school districts website
                     26. Must have …
                     27. The actual board policy language
                     28. Sections for staff, students, and community
                     29. Quick links for commonly accessed information
                     30. Share with staff
                     31. Surveys and focus groups in the early stages - make them feel heard, this is a hot topic
                     32. Multi-pronged approach
                     33. In-person PD on in-service days
                     34. Ready-made classroom materials like posters

                     Episode 198: Educators as AI Guides: Crafting Resources for Families and Communities

                     Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is Episode 198 called Educators as AI Guides: Crafting Resources for Families and Communities.  In this episode, we will walk through a step by step process that educators can follow for creating AI resources that are not just for staff and students, but the community as a whole.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

                     
                     

                     Segment 1: 

                     
                     

                     We are concluding a 3 year journey that has attempted to establish AI policy, share the ai policy with staff and students, teach staff about ai, teach students about ai, and the final phase … teaching the community.

                     
                     

                     One thing that still surprises me is the number of people (usually adults) who don’t use AI.  Maybe they disagree with it, maybe they don’t know where to go or what to do, or maybe they just don’t care.  But everyone has a stake in at least knowing what these tools are capable of.

                     
                     

                     A local library reached out to the school district and asked if we would collaborate on creating, sharing and presenting resources from the school so that the community could learn from them AND be aware of what schools are doing with AI.

                     
                     

                     This is our journey, laid out in a step-by-step manner so that it might help others trying to accomplish the same thing.

                     
                     

                     
                     

                     Segment 2:

                     
                     

                     1. Establish policy at the highest levels possible (board, superintendent, etc).
                     2. Must start here so you have a legally backed document to fall back on
                     3. This can be slow and painful
                     4. Start identifying the stakeholder’s opinions
                     5. Teachers,
                     6. Students
                     7. Administrators
                     8. Parents
                     9. Have a focus group to help with wordsmithing
                     10. Identify proper use/misuse
                     11. Establish an “AI director” for the district
                     12. Not a new position, someone who already has a tech role
                     13. This person is responsible for maintaining and updating the resources and plan that follows
                     14. This person may also want to recruit a small team to help them build out and present the materials (tech coaches, media specialists, etc)
                     15. Create a public space to clearly communicate that policy
                     16. Website is probably the best option, social posts are too fleeting
                     17. Could also be a document that gets linked somewhere, like a school website
                     18. Create easily digestible versions of that policy
                     19. “Infographic” that policy!  No one likes to read policy, so make it digestible in the form of an infographic
                     20. Shoe-horn it as an FAQ page
                     21. Beautified PDF or Canva doc
                     22. Canva slide deck - make it presentable and informative since this is what people will likely go to for policy information
                     23. Create a public hub that collects AI resources for everyone
                     24. To me, website is the only option here
                     25. Needs to be linked to the school districts website
                     26. Must have …
                     27. The actual board policy language
                     28. Sections for staff, students, and community
                     29. Quick links for commonly accessed information
                     30. Share with staff
                     31. Surveys and focus groups in the early stages - make them feel heard, this is a hot topic
                     32. Multi-pronged approach
                     33. In-person PD on in-service days
                     34. Ready-made classroom materials like posters
                     35. Differentiate the options they have for accessing info and sharing with students: video AND slides AND docs AND …
                     36. Examples of how this policy affects real things like a syllabus, assignment directions, second chance learning, use of computers, etc.
                     37. Specific information about what they can do to help stop AI use and what to do when students are misusing it
                     38. Regular reminders
                     39. Share with students
                     40. Create common language used between all stakeholders
                     41. Appropriate usages
                     42. Inappropriate usages
                     43. AI policy at the district level, school level, classroom level
                     44. Different modes of communication

                     Episode 197: 10 Low-Tech Ways to Refocus Students

                     Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 197 called 10 Low-Tech Ways to Refocus Students. In this episode, we will talk about 10 low-tech or no-tech ideas for brain breaks, mindful moments, whatever you call them, you’ll learn some cool ways to refocus students in your classroom. This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

                     
                     

                     Segment 1: School Opening

                     
                     

                     Our school opening PD days focused on the importance of getting kids off screens.

                     Funny because I’ve been hearing students for years say they still prefer pieces of paper for many things in class and that they get tired of looking at their tiny chromebook screen.

                     This also makes sense because there are strong links to learning and handwriting. Also, have you ever tried staring at a screen for your job all day? It’s not fun.

                     In that spirit, we collected some ideas for brain breaks / mindful moments, with a focus on low tech or no tech solutions.

                     Segment 2: Low Tech or No Tech Brain Breaks

                     
                     

                     Bingo Bongo Splat

                     You write down a secret number on a piece of paper so you don’t forget it yourself. Can be as many digits as you want. Students take turns guessing the number. As they make a guess, you record it for all of them to see, along with the word, bingo, bongo, or splat. Check out the Tik Tok video from LifeofSteph on this

                     Bingo=1 digit in the right place

                     Bongo=1 digit but in the wrong place

                     Splat=nothing matches

                     Reverse Simon Says

                     Same rules as Simon Says—but if you don’t hear “Simon says,” you should do the action. Flips their brains into focus mode.

                     Slow Reveal Graphs

                     Series of images of graphs, beginning with almost no labels or information, then slowly adding more. Students share out what they think the graph is about. Their responses get more detailed and specific with each new reveal. Teaches graph skills and is fun!

                     Wordle

                     Remember that craze! It’s still around. Play the real NYT version or make your own at flippty

                     Which doesn’t belong?

                     4 images are shown and students must argue for which one doesn’t belong. There should be a possible reason that could be argued for each image. Start with a dessert example (chocolate layer cake, choco chip cookies, berry pie, ice cream), and then make one that fits your content. Close by having students design one. Extend this by having them present it.

                     Story Tag

                     One student starts a silly story with one sentence, and it goes around the room quickly. Each adds just one sentence—short and energizing.

                     Another option: You will tell a story one word at a time. Ideally you’re in a circle on arranged in a way that’s clear which order you’ll go in. The first student starts with one word (One), then the next student comes up with another word (morning), then the next student continues (a)…

                     Another option: You will tell a story using only questions. Ideally you’re in a circle on arranged in a way that’s clear which order you’ll go in. 

                     The first student starts: “Where did the dog go?” 

                     The next continues with: “I’m not sure, should we go look for him?”

                     The next continues with: “Do you know where his leash is?”

                     Upside-Down Artist

                     You’ll need to decide the rule for things allowed on the picnic. Maybe it’s green things, or things that begin with the letter B, or things that you can eat…

                     Students will take turns asking if they can bring X on the picnic

                     Their goal is to try to get everyone to figure out the rule.

                     Episode 197: 10 Low-Tech Ways to Refocus Students

                     Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 197 called 10 Low-Tech Ways to Refocus Students. In this episode, we will talk about 10 low-tech or no-tech ideas for brain breaks, mindful moments, whatever you call them, you’ll learn some cool ways to refocus students in your classroom. This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

                     
                     

                     Segment 1: School Opening

                     
                     

                     Our school opening PD days focused on the importance of getting kids off screens.

                     Funny because I’ve been hearing students for years say they still prefer pieces of paper for many things in class and that they get tired of looking at their tiny chromebook screen.

                     This also makes sense because there are strong links to learning and handwriting. Also, have you ever tried staring at a screen for your job all day? It’s not fun.

                     In that spirit, we collected some ideas for brain breaks / mindful moments, with a focus on low tech or no tech solutions.

                     Segment 2: Low Tech or No Tech Brain Breaks

                     
                     

                     Bingo Bongo Splat

                     You write down a secret number on a piece of paper so you don’t forget it yourself. Can be as many digits as you want. Students take turns guessing the number. As they make a guess, you record it for all of them to see, along with the word, bingo, bongo, or splat. Check out the Tik Tok video from LifeofSteph on this

                     Bingo=1 digit in the right place

                     Bongo=1 digit but in the wrong place

                     Splat=nothing matches

                     Reverse Simon Says

                     Same rules as Simon Says—but if you don’t hear “Simon says,” you should do the action. Flips their brains into focus mode.

                     Slow Reveal Graphs

                     Series of images of graphs, beginning with almost no labels or information, then slowly adding more. Students share out what they think the graph is about. Their responses get more detailed and specific with each new reveal. Teaches graph skills and is fun!

                     Wordle

                     Remember that craze! It’s still around. Play the real NYT version or make your own at flippty

                     Which doesn’t belong?

                     4 images are shown and students must argue for which one doesn’t belong. There should be a possible reason that could be argued for each image. Start with a dessert example (chocolate layer cake, choco chip cookies, berry pie, ice cream), and then make one that fits your content. Close by having students design one. Extend this by having them present it.

                     Story Tag

                     One student starts a silly story with one sentence, and it goes around the room quickly. Each adds just one sentence—short and energizing.

                     Another option: You will tell a story one word at a time. Ideally you’re in a circle on arranged in a way that’s clear which order you’ll go in. The first student starts with one word (One), then the next student comes up with another word (morning), then the next student continues (a)…

                     Another option: You will tell a story using only questions. Ideally you’re in a circle on arranged in a way that’s clear which order you’ll go in. 

                     The first student starts: “Where did the dog go?” 

                     The next continues with: “I’m not sure, should we go look for him?”

                     The next continues with: “Do you know where his leash is?”

                     Upside-Down Artist

                     Students have 30 seconds to doodle something on scrap paper—but they must hold the paper upside down while drawing. Quick, funny reset.

                     Island packing list/I’m going on a picnic

                     You’ll need to decide the rule for things allowed on the picnic. Maybe it’s green things, or things that begin with the letter B, or things that you can eat…

                     Students will take turns asking if they can bring X on the picnic

                       Episode 195: Rethinking Research: Teaching Inquiry and Integrity in the Age of AI

                       
                       

                       Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is Episode 195 called Rethinking Research: Teaching Inquiry and Integrity in the Age of AI.  In this episode, we will explore how the role of a teacher must change now that AI is becoming integrated in all aspects of our lives.  Specifically, we’ll share 8 changes you can make to your classroom and assignments that will help encourage students to think creatively and critically in an age where it’s more important than ever.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

                       Segment 1: 

                       As my students completed their final projects, I started noticing something this year … all their work was very technically sound and met my project expectations almost perfectly.  Was it too perfect?

                       Specific example:  One of the elements of my rubric references a creative title.  Usually everyone does “Chemistry of __”, but this year, they were all things like “9 Volts, 2 Electrodes, 1 Reaction: The Chemistry Behind the Charge and the Connection”.  So what suddenly happened this year for me to get such great titles?

                       Also - When students came to me with questions about content, like the girl who needed help understanding the chemistry of Na/K pumps in cells, I found myself going to ChatGPT for the fastest resolution.  Clearly they are doing the same.

                       Two questions arose:

                       1. Is this research?
                       2. Is this type of research good or bad?
                       
                       

                       Segment 2: Student Research in the Age of AI

                       
                       

                       1. Redefine Research as Inquiry, Not Just Information Gathering

                       AI makes facts and summaries instantly accessible, so teachers should shift the focus from finding information to asking meaningful questions. Students should be taught that good research begins with curiosity and that AI is just one of many tools in that process.

                       Teacher Tip: Require students to submit a “research question development log” showing how their question evolved through discussion, feedback, and exploration.

                       2. Teach AI Literacy as Part of Research Instruction

                       Students need to understand how AI tools work, their limitations, and the potential for bias or misinformation. This helps them critically evaluate what AI produces instead of blindly trusting it.

                       Teacher Tip: Have students compare AI-generated content with academic sources and reflect on differences in depth, credibility, and tone.

                       3. Require Research Process Documentation

                       Rather than just grading final products, assess the steps students took during the research process: topic selection, source evaluation, note-taking, outlining, etc.

                       Teacher Tip: Use research journals, annotated bibliographies, or reflection checkpoints to track progress and thinking.

                       4. Emphasize Source Evaluation Skills

                       AI can summarize or suggest sources, but it can’t always vet them well. Students must be taught how to evaluate a source’s credibility, purpose, and relevance—skills that AI cannot replace.

                       Teacher Tip: Require students to justify the inclusion of each source in their work with a brief analysis of its trustworthiness and value.

                       5. Assign Synthesis Over Summary

                       AI excels at summarizing; students must be pushed to synthesize information—connecting multiple perspectives, forming original insights, and constructing arguments.

                       Teacher Tip: Ask students to write or present the "So what?" of their research—what do all the sources together reveal, and what can we learn from that?

                       6. Use Oral Defenses or In-Class Writing

                       One way to ensure authentic work is to ask students to explain or recreate their findings in real-time, without AI assistance.

                       Teacher Tip: After submitting a research paper, have students do a brief oral defense or timed writing prompt based on their research.

                       7. Require Human and AI Source Transparency

                       Make it a norm to credit how AI tools were used in the research process. This reinforces academic honesty and helps differentiate between AI assistance and student work.

                       Teacher Tip: Include a required “AI Usage Statement” in which students disclose how (or if) AI contributed to their research.

                       8. Design Creative, Personalized, or Localized Research Tasks

                       Generic essay prompts are easy to outsource to AI. Unique, specific, or personally relevant tasks are harder to fake and more meaningful for students.

                       Teacher Tip: Frame research around local issues, class discussions, personal experiences, or school-specific themes to increase authenticity and engagement.

                           Make it a norm to credit how AI tools were used in the research process. This reinforces academic honesty and helps differentiate between AI assistance and student work.

                           Teacher Tip: Include a required “AI Usage Statement” in which students disclose how (or if) AI contributed to their research.

                           8. Design Creative, Personalized, or Localized Research Tasks

                           Generic essay prompts are easy to outsource to AI. Unique, specific, or personally relevant tasks are harder to fake and more meaningful for students.

                           Teacher Tip: Frame research around local issues, class discussions, personal experiences, or school-specific themes to increase authenticity and engagement.

                           Episode 194: Tech That Teaches: Hardware We Actually Love

                           Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is Episode 194 called Tech That Teaches: Hardware We Actually Love.  In this episode, we will go over the hardware that allows our classrooms and offices to run smoothly and efficiently.  Save time, headaches, and hopefully some money!  This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

                           Nick’s Gadgets

                           • Workstation Set-Up:  Use a USB splitter connected to an external monitor.  That splitter has all my “stuff” to facilitate quick connection. Connect my laptop to the monitor and then I’m also auto-connected to all my gadgets.  I use the Anker Hub 4 Ports and love it, but there are many options that are all pretty good.
                           • Second monitor!  Dell 27 inch Monitor, P2725H Full HD 1080p Computer Monitor.  If you haven’t started using a second monitor, get on it!
                           • Wacom Tablet - I like this better than a touch screen stylus because it feels more like writing on a piece of paper.  When I use the stylus, I find that it my hand accidentally clicks things on the screen, zooming in by mistake, etc.  I have the wired version, which is limiting.  Get the wireless!
                           • Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB Cardioid Dynamic Microphone:  I’ve heard lots of teachers like the Blue Yeti or the Rode Podcaster, but my favorite has always been the AT.  All the other mics I’ve tried sound tinny.
                           • Multi-device Charging Station

Science Vs is the show from Spotify Studios that finds out what’s fact, what’s not, and what’s somewhere in between. We do the hard work of sifting through all the science so you don't have to and cover everything from 5G and ADHD, to Fluoride and Fasting Diets.
                               2. Mr. Barton Maths:  How do you make a podcast about math? By coming at it from a human-first perspective and examining why so many students (and teachers) have an instinctual adverse reaction to the subject. Host Craig Barton is a former math educator and founder of diagnostic educational software company Eedi, so he has a fair bit of personal experience in the subject matter. U.S. listeners should note that Barton is based in the U.K.; while some of the references to the British education system may not resonate, the sentiment behind the content certainly will.

                                   Episode 191: 10 Canva Code Ideas for Teachers

                                   Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is Episode 191 called 10 Canva Code Ideas for Teachers.  In this episode we’ll introduce, explain and analyze one of the features in Canva AI called Canva Code.  We’ll also share 10 ways that teachers can use it to help spark your creativity when it comes to this exciting new feature.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

                                   
                                   

                                   Segment 1: Intro to Canva Code

                                   
                                   

                                   What is it?  Canva’s AI writes code for you to create specific games/apps/simulations/etc that function in Canva.  When you’ve got the code just right by prompting and then adjusting with other prompts, you can publish it as a Canva website for easy sharing.

                                   
                                   

                                   What do you do with the code?  The code produced can be copy-pasted to other places OR just published directly in Canva as a Canva website.

                                   
                                   

                                   Downsides: 

                                   1. Initial teacher response is often “why do i need to write code”?
                                   2. It can take some time to get the code right to produce what you want
                                   3. Does it exist somewhere else?  For example, why make a quizzes app in Canva?
                                   4. The prompt has a character limit, so you’ll have to adjust it as you go.  
                                   5. For example, start with a prompt that describes only the function of the app.  Then adjust it afterwards related to design.  Then again for differentiation, etc.
                                   
                                   

                                   
                                   

                                   Why Use it: (what makes it worth the time)

                                   1. TREMENDOUS capability for teachers to make things that don’t exist anywhere else online
                                   2. Can ask it to add specific differentiations into any game/app created for whatever students you have
                                   3. Skip labor intensive prep for physical games

                                     Episode 191: 10 Canva Code Ideas for Teachers

                                     Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is Episode 191 called 10 Canva Code Ideas for Teachers.  In this episode we’ll introduce, explain and analyze one of the features in Canva AI called Canva Code.  We’ll also share 10 ways that teachers can use it to help spark your creativity when it comes to this exciting new feature.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

                                     
                                     

                                     Segment 1: Intro to Canva Code

                                     
                                     

                                     What is it?  Canva’s AI writes code for you to create specific games/apps/simulations/etc that function in Canva.  When you’ve got the code just right by prompting and then adjusting with other prompts, you can publish it as a Canva website for easy sharing.

                                     
                                     

                                     What do you do with the code?  The code produced can be copy-pasted to other places OR just published directly in Canva as a Canva website.

                                     
                                     

                                     Downsides: 

                                     1. Initial teacher response is often “why do i need to write code”?
                                     2. It can take some time to get the code right to produce what you want
                                     3. Does it exist somewhere else?  For example, why make a quizzes app in Canva?
                                     4. The prompt has a character limit, so you’ll have to adjust it as you go.  
                                     5. For example, start with a prompt that describes only the function of the app.  Then adjust it afterwards related to design.  Then again for differentiation, etc.
                                     
                                     

                                     
                                     

                                     Why Use it: (what makes it worth the time)

                                     1. TREMENDOUS capability for teachers to make things that don’t exist anywhere else online
                                     2. Can ask it to add specific differentiations into any game/app created for whatever students you have
                                     3. Skip labor intensive prep for physical games

                                     • Scenario 1: 
                                     • The AI Essay Epidemic.  Ms. Rivera teaches 10th grade English and has just assigned a personal narrative essay. As she begins grading, she notices several essays that seem... off. They're grammatically perfect, lack any personal voice, and a few students even use similar turns of phrase.  The students cited AI use, and even included a link to a specific conversation in a tool called Perplexity.  When examining the link however, it only shows the student asking questions about the topic.  In other words, there is no evidence of having the AI do the writing, at least not in this particular chat.  The student denies any AI use other than what was cited.  What should she do?

                                       Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is Episode 190 called Stump the Edtech Guru.  In this episode, we’ll try and stump each other with some of the toughest edtech challenges we could think of.  Each guru will have to come up with a solution on the spot.   This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.

                                       • The AI Essay Epidemic.  Ms. Rivera teaches 10th grade English and has just assigned a personal narrative essay. As she begins grading, she notices several essays that seem... off. They're grammatically perfect, lack any personal voice, and a few students even use similar turns of phrase.  The students cited AI use, and even included a link to a specific conversation in a tool called Perplexity.  When examining the link however, it only shows the student asking questions about the topic.  In other words, there is no evidence of having the AI do the writing, at least not in this particular chat.  The student denies any AI use other than what was cited.  What should she do?

                                       • The Silent Discussion Board.  Mr. Chen is running a blended learning environment for his 8th grade social studies class. He’s trying to build engagement with online discussion boards through Google Classroom and Flip. He posts thoughtful prompts, but most students either don’t respond, copy each other, or leave low-effort replies like ‘I agree.’ He knows these kids have opinions—they just don’t seem to bring them into the digital space. Mr. Chen is wondering: is it the prompt? The platform? The digital culture? Or is this just a lost cause?

But lately, her school has adopted a slew of new edtech platforms: a new LMS, AI feedback tools, quiz generators, and now a parent communication app—all with different logins, layouts, and learning curves. She claims to receive “multiple emails per week” from various admins and coaches touting EVEN MORE options for edtech.  Her students are confused, parents are overwhelmed, and she’s spending more time managing tech than teaching content. She’s asking herself: how do I streamline this chaos without ignoring district expectations or shortchanging students?

                                       1. AI-Powered Tutoring Systems    

                                       Example tools: Khanmigo, Scribe, ChatGPT as a study helper

                                       Pro (Student Learning): Personalized Learning Support

                                       AI can break down complex topics and adapt explanations to a student’s level. This helps struggling learners feel less overwhelmed and get the help they need outside of class time.

                                       Con (Student Learning): Over-Reliance on AI Help

                                       Some students might use AI instead of thinking for themselves. Rather than trying to solve a math problem, they could just ask the bot for the answer—missing out on real learning.

                                       Pro (Teacher Productivity): Less Time Re-Explaining Basics

                                       Teachers can recommend AI tools for practice and remediation, freeing up time to work with students who need more direct attention.

                                       Con (Teacher Productivity): Misalignment with Curriculum

                                       AI-generated explanations might not follow the pacing or methods a teacher uses, causing confusion if students get mixed messages.

                                       2. AI-Generated Writing Support

                                       Example tools: Grammarly, ChatGPT, QuillBot

                                       Pro (Student Learning): Improved Writing Mechanics

                                       Students can get instant feedback on grammar, tone, and structure, helping them refine their writing without waiting days for teacher comments.

                                       Con (Student Learning): Risk of Cheating or Ghostwriting

                                       Some students may copy and paste entire AI-generated essays, which undermines the development of critical thinking and writing skills.

                                       Pro (Teacher Productivity): Faster Draft Reviews

                                       AI-written drafts often require less correction for basic issues, allowing teachers to focus more on higher-level thinking in student writing.

                                       Con (Teacher Productivity): Harder to Detect Authentic Voice

                                       It becomes trickier to tell if a student’s work truly reflects their abilities, making it harder to assess growth or identify areas for intervention.

                                       3. AI in Lesson Planning and Resource Creation

                                       Example tools: Curipod, MagicSchool.ai, Diffit

                                       Pro (Teacher Productivity): Saves Planning Time

                                       Teachers can generate slides, quizzes, and differentiated content in minutes, giving them more time to personalize instruction or support students.

                                       Con (Teacher Productivity): Quality and Accuracy Concerns

                                       AI doesn’t always get facts right or adapt to classroom context, meaning teachers still have to double-check and often edit the materials.

                                       Pro (Student Learning): More Engaging and Varied Content

                                       With AI, teachers can easily generate visuals, analogies, and leveled texts to match different learning styles and abilities.

                                       Con (Student Learning): One-Size-Fits-All Feel

                                       AI-generated content may not reflect the specific interests, culture, or experiences of the classroom, making learning feel generic or disconnected.

                                       4. AI for Feedback and Assessment

                                       Example tools: Gradescope, ChatGPT for rubric-based review, Snorkl

                                       Pro (Teacher Productivity): Faster Feedback Loops

                                       AI tools can provide near-instant feedback on writing or short responses, helping teachers keep up with grading and giving students timely insights.

                                       Con (Teacher Productivity): False Sense of Accuracy

                                       AI might misinterpret student intent or nuances in open-ended answers, leading to inaccurate scores or unfair feedback.

                                       Pro (Student Learning): Immediate Feedback Improves Learning

                                       Students can revise quickly based on feedback, reinforcing learning while the...]]>Edtech Throwdown

                                       Some students might use AI instead of thinking for themselves. Rather than trying to solve a math problem, they could just ask the bot for the answer—missing out on real learning.

                                       Pro (Teacher Productivity): Less Time Re-Explaining Basics

                                       Teachers can recommend AI tools for practice and remediation, freeing up time to work with students who need more direct attention.

                                       Con (Teacher Productivity): Misalignment with Curriculum

                                       AI-generated explanations might not follow the pacing or methods a teacher uses, causing confusion if students get mixed messages.

                                       2. AI-Generated Writing Support

                                       AI may offer only surface-level comments (like “Add more detail”) and fail to push deeper thinking or skill development.

                                       5. AI Chatbots for Student Support

                                       Example tools: ChatGPT, school-based AI helpdesks

                                       Pro (Student Learning): On-Demand Help 24/7

                                       AI can answer questions about homework, instructions, or even mental health resources when teachers or counselors aren’t available.

                                       Con (Student Learning): Misinformation or Misunderstanding

                                       AI can give wrong answers or misunderstand a student’s question entirely, especially when it lacks specific context or phrasing.

                                       Pro (Teacher Productivity): Fewer Repetitive Questions

                                       AI can handle common questions (“What’s the homework?” or “When is the test?”), allowing teachers to focus on higher-level instruction.

                                       Con (Teacher Productivity): Trust Issues with AI Guidance

                                       Teachers may worry about students getting incorrect info, leading to extra work correcting misunderstandings later.

                                       6. AI in Differentiation and Special Education

                                       Some students thrive on one-on-one teacher support, and replacing this with AI can reduce the personal connection and tailored encouragement they need.

                                       Pro (Teacher Productivity): More Efficient Accommodations

                                       Teachers can quickly modify materials or assessments using AI, instead of spending hours rewriting tests or readings manually.

                                       Con (Teacher Productivity): Unclear Boundaries Around Use

                                       It’s not always obvious what counts as “appropriate” AI help versus over-reliance, especially when creating modifications for specific learners.

                                               • Choose an AI tool to demo (we use ChatGPT).  Show three prompts:
                                               • A bad prompt, something very vague that gives a general and bland response.
                                               • A better prompt, something that includes lots of detail and specific requests.  Show that this yields a much better response from the AI tool.
                                               • A prompt that gets untrue results.  Students need to know that AI tools can give incorrect information, sometimes that it just “makes up” due to lack of other information.
                                               • ACTIVITY:  Have students play with prompts:  Ask them to try a bad, vague prompt on purpose.  Then ask them to try it again but with more specificity, comparing the results.  They share out what they notice.
                                               • Provide a prompt library as a resource.  Here is a great one from AI for Education.
                                               • ACTIVITY:  Ask them to head to TwinPic and try and complete the challenge there.  Give a prize to the most accurate recreation.
                                               
                                               

                                               What Can’t AI Do?

                                               • Hallucinations:  LLMs can generate plausible but inaccurate information, also known as "hallucinations".  This can mislead users into believing that the generated content is factual and reliable.
                                               • Bias:  LLMs can exhibit biases in their responses, often generating stereotypical or prejudiced content.  This bias stems from the large datasets they are trained on, which may contain biased information.
                                               • Exhibit True Creativity:  Since LLM’s can only repurpose old information, they can’t exhibit creativity like a human can.  After reading enough AI responses, you can start to tell a sample of writing is AI generated.
                                               • ACTIVITY:  Have students ask ChatGPT to write a brief biography of themselves.  Try the prompt:  "write a brief biography of [insert name here], a student in [insert town here]” but have them sub in their own names.  Have them share the results as accurate or inaccurate.

                                               • Yes AI can write essays for you.  But this hurts you long term because then you never learn to write yourself.
                                               • Better prompts that help learning, not hurt it:
                                               • "Proofread my writing above. Fix grammar and spelling mistakes. And make suggestions that will improve the clarity of my writing"

                                               • "I am currently learning about [insert topic]. Ask me a series of questions that will test my knowledge. Identify knowledge gaps in my answers and give me better answers to fill those gaps."
                                               • Tools like Khanmigo Writing Coach are tailor made for students and use AI to help you learn, not get around learning

                                               • Using AI to do work for you is academic dishonesty and will be treated as such if suspected?
                                               • AI can save you lots of time, but what are you replacing that time with?  If the replacement is scrolling through IG, this is really bad for your brain.
                                               • New research shows that over-reliance on AI results in cognitive decline.

R1 is also open sourced under an MIT license, allowing free commercial and academic use.

                                                           Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is Episode 181 called, “Educational AI Hub Breakdown”  In this episode, we’ll compare and analyze the mega-AI hubs that are competing for every teacher's attention.  By the end, you’ll know which ones we think are actually worth your time.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss.  Check it out.

                                                           What are AI Hubs?  

                                                           • We are using the term “hub” a little incorrectly here.  An AI hub is a thing in the tech space where AI models can be trained.  
                                                           • When we say hub, we mean AI platforms or workspaces that do LOTS of different teacher related things
                                                           • Most of these use ChatGPT or something similar in the background.  For example, let’s say you wanted to write a lesson plan … you could get the same results if you just went to ChatGPT and put in a very specific prompt, but Magic School’s lesson plan generator has done that for you.
                                                           • Also, Khanmigo uses GPT, but it has been specifically trained on the videos and resources held by Khan Academy.
                                                           
                                                           

                                                           What are the big ones?

                                                             Segment 1: 

                                                             
                                                             

                                                             Narrative:  Holy Hubs

                                                             
                                                             

                                                             Segment 2: AI Hubs for Teachers

                                                             
                                                             

                                                             What are AI Hubs?  

                                                             • We are using the term “hub” a little incorrectly here.  An AI hub is a thing in the tech space where AI models can be trained.  
                                                             • When we say hub, we mean AI platforms or workspaces that do LOTS of different teacher related things
                                                             • Most of these use ChatGPT or something similar in the background.  For example, let’s say you wanted to write a lesson plan … you could get the same results if you just went to ChatGPT and put in a very specific prompt, but Magic School’s lesson plan generator has done that for you.
                                                             • Also, Khanmigo uses GPT, but it has been specifically trained on the videos and resources held by Khan Academy.
                                                             
                                                             

                                                             What are the big ones?

                                                                     Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is episode 175 called “The British School Replacing Teachers with AI - Can It Work”  In this episode, we’ll share the story of the british school that is experimenting with a “teacherless” classroom led by AI!  We’ll also talk about why human teachers don’t have to worry as we discuss the best ways that AI can integrate with humans, not get replaced by it.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss.  Check it out.

                                                                     Segment 1: AI Taking Over Teacher Jobs?

                                                                     Narrative:  We heard lots of gloom and doom about AI in schools, but this is likely overblown.

                                                                     There IS however, a school that is experimentally trying to replace teachers with AI.

                                                                     https://www.inavateonthenet.net/news/article/uk-school-to-replace-teachers-with-ai-programme

Dubbed the Sabrewing programme, each student will receive a personalised learning experience with a self-paced approach that is ideal for examination resit students.

                                                                         Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is episode 175 called “The British School Replacing Teachers with AI - Can It Work”  In this episode, we’ll share the story of the british school that is experimenting with a “teacherless” classroom led by AI!  We’ll also talk about why human teachers don’t have to worry as we discuss the best ways that AI can integrate with humans, not get replaced by it.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss.  Check it out.

                                                                         There IS however, a school that is experimentally trying to replace teachers with AI.

                                                                                • Nick: Focus on teaching problem solving and getting questions answered, rather than teaching how to use specific tools. So many updates all the time. Constantly changing tutorials and guides to keep up. Why! Instead, teach students to roll with these changes and use resources already there.
                                                                                • Show them and provide links to website specific tech guides

                                                                                • Nick: Stick with time-tested tools that have been around and are not likely to go away. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. For example, the recent locking away of Flip shows us that even popular tools can become out of reach.
                                                                                • Be clear with your AI policies. Don’t be scared of the AI conversation

                                                                                  • Show them and provide links to website specific tech guides

                                                                                  • Be clear with your AI policies. Don’t be scared of the AI conversation

                                                                                  Segment 1:

                                                                                    Narrative: What are nick and guise’s go-to social media platforms?

                                                                                    Having a class social media account can be a powerful motivator and a great way for some positive PR

                                                                                    Just so you know, Canva can be used as the edtech for ALL of these ideas, but we tried to change it up.

                                                                                    Segment 2:   

                                                                                    Project ideas:

                                                                                    1. Make a meme project
                                                                                    2. Example: Generate class rules using memes, learn new vocabulary, identify the novel using memes, describe a historical event (thanks NSTA blog!)
                                                                                    3. Edtech:  Just look them up, there are many.  Meme Creator, Meme Generator and Quick Meme are some to check out.
                                                                                    4. Gif creation
                                                                                    5. Example: Create a gif that models a series of exercises for certain parts of the body. Each student gets a different muscle group or body part.
                                                                                    6. Edtech: Canva animations
                                                                                    7. Edtech: Lots of video editing platforms let you download the video as a gif
                                                                                    8. Historical figure instagram post
                                                                                    9. Example: Create an instagram post that is a series of 4 (minimum) photos of your assigned figure doing something.  One of the 4 must be a “selfie” and they must all be connected to something this person MIGHT post about, were they on Insta today.
                                                                                    10. Edtech: Adobe Express - A great, free Canva alternative
                                                                                    11. Mock twitter debate
                                                                                    12. Example: In this project, students will participate in a mock debate as if they were on the Twitter platform (now known as X). This exercise is designed to improve writing and argumentation skills in Spanish, as well as to encourage the ability to debate respectfully in a public setting. Students will not use real Twitter but will write their posts and comments as if they were on the platform.  Debate Topic: "Should cities implement more bike lanes to encourage bicycle use?"
                                                                                    13. Edtech: Create a template in Google slides that has images from real X posts with the words remove.  Students insert text boxes on top of those blank spaces.
                                                                                    14. At home science tik tok video
                                                                                    15. Example: Create a 1 minute to 3 minute (tiktok times) at-home science video and explain what is going on in the caption.  For example, Slime is popular right now.  Make the slime, film it, write a brief caption that explains the chemistry.  
                                                                                    16. Edtech: kapcut, davinci resolve
                                                                                    17. Virtual field trip vlog  
                                                                                    18.

Example: In this project, students will participate in a mock debate as if they were on the Twitter platform (now known as X). This exercise is designed to improve writing and argumentation skills in Spanish, as well as to encourage the ability to debate respectfully in a public setting. Students will not use real Twitter but will write their posts and comments as if they were on the platform.  Debate Topic: "Should cities implement more bike lanes to encourage bicycle use?"
                                                                                      13. Edtech: Create a template in Google slides that has images from real X posts with the words remove.  Students insert text boxes on top of those blank spaces.

                                                                                          • In the U.S. Marines during mealtime, Sinek explains, it’s common for the highest ranking officers to fix their plates last. This not only ensures everyone on the team is fed, but sends an important message: Leaders look after their people first. But Sinek’s people-first approach is only one component of a larger narrative that includes segments on creating a safe environment within your organization—he refers to this as the “Circle of Safety”—and the surprising impacts of what he calls “selfless chemicals” like serotonin and oxytocin on leadership style.

                                                                                          • In Schoolishness, Susan D. Blum continues her journey as an anthropologist and educator. The author defines "schoolishness" as educational practices that emphasize packaged "learning," unimaginative teaching, uniformity, constant evaluation by others, arbitrary forms, predetermined time, and artificial boundaries, resulting in personal and educational alienation, dependence, and dread.  Drawing on critical, progressive, and feminist pedagogy in conversation with the anthropology of learning, and building on the insights of her two previous books Blum proposes less-schoolish ways of learning in ten dimensions, to lessen the mismatch between learning in school and learning in the wild. She asks, if learning is our human "superpower," why is it so difficult to accomplish in school? In every chapter Blum compares the fake learning of schoolishness with successful examples of authentic learning, including in her own courses, which she scrutinizes critically.

                                                                                             • In the U.S. Marines during mealtime, Sinek explains, it’s common for the highest ranking officers to fix their plates last. This not only ensures everyone on the team is fed, but sends an important message: Leaders look after their people first. But Sinek’s people-first approach is only one component of a larger narrative that includes segments on creating a safe environment within your organization—he refers to this as the “Circle of Safety”—and the surprising impacts of what he calls “selfless chemicals” like serotonin and oxytocin on leadership style.

                                                                                             • In Schoolishness, Susan D. Blum continues her journey as an anthropologist and educator. The author defines "schoolishness" as educational practices that emphasize packaged "learning," unimaginative teaching, uniformity, constant evaluation by others, arbitrary forms, predetermined time, and artificial boundaries, resulting in personal and educational alienation, dependence, and dread.  Drawing on critical, progressive, and feminist pedagogy in conversation with the anthropology of learning, and building on the insights of her two previous books Blum proposes less-schoolish ways of learning in ten dimensions, to lessen the mismatch between learning in school and learning in the wild. She asks, if learning is our human "superpower," why is it so difficult to accomplish in school? In every chapter Blum compares the fake learning of schoolishness with successful examples of authentic learning, including in her own courses, which she scrutinizes critically.

                                                                                             So let’s take a break while we go ask ChatGPT to write this episode for us, so that when we come back we can talk about how to deal with these issues in a positive and proactive way.

                                                                                             Segment 2:

                                                                                             2. Don’t find yourself halfway through the year and angry because you can tell that a significant percentage of your students just used a chat bot to write their responses.
                                                                                             3. Set Clear Expectations (Be Proactive):
                                                                                             4. Syllabus Statement

                                                                                             6. Introductory days AI discussion

                                                                                             8. Generate class rules together, almost like norms

                                                                                             10. In college, they would likely see similar rules, where using AI to write for you is likely considered academic dishonesty and you would get expelled.
                                                                                             11. In life, you might use AI to begin the process of writing a best mans speech you need to give.
                                                                                             12. In a career, you might use it to plan out some talking points for an upcoming meeting or make an email sound more professional.

                                                                                                         Okay we need to take a break to hear from Teach Better, but don’t go anywhere because when we come back we’re going to break down this year's edtech march madness bracket.

                                                                                                         Okay we need to take a break to hear from Teach Better, but don’t go anywhere because when we come back we’re going to break down this year's edtech march madness bracket.

                                                                                                                                  3. As tech coaches, how do you go about recruiting teachers to use edtech in classroom?  Do you have any tips for successful implementation?
                                                                                                                                  4. Your natural users will find their way there anyway, no effort needed.  You may never reach the edtech ostriches.  The middle class needs to be shown specific, concrete examples.

In your opinion, what is the state of education post covid?  Have teacher practices been changed positively or negatively?  Do you feel teachers are experiencing edtech burnout?

                                                                                                                                    2. I have to imagine myself being able to use it.  Time.graphics for example

Your natural users will find their way there anyway, no effort needed.  You may never reach the edtech ostriches.  The middle class needs to be shown specific, concrete examples.

In your opinion, what is the state of education post covid?  Have teacher practices been changed positively or negatively?  Do you feel teachers are experiencing edtech burnout?

They can crop, adjust, or edit the photo and blur areas of the image as per the requirement. This app also lets students earn awards.

Project-based learning using AI.  Teach students how to use AI correctly by building it into a project.  Use an image generator like DALL-E to have each student in the class generate a random image.  Print them out, hang on the board and move them around in such a way that they can be connected with a story.  Students must agree on an order as a large group or in multiple small groups.  They then write a story THEMSELVES (no more AI) based on this order of images.

I really like Quizizz because it has been an awesome tool for engaging students both in and out of the classroom. You can assign games for homework or have students work on these engaging alternative assessments in class.  What makes Quizizz one of my edtech tools… it's gamification features and the variety of question types.

Tired of Google Docs?? Try bit.ai for next level collab. The biggest difference is that in bit.ai you can add ANY content to your docs, not just text and images. Gifs, file attachments, videos, code blocks, rich tables, equations, and cloud files. It also integrates with google drive, dropbox, any other file storage platform (even social media like IG - not sure what that means yet)

Tired of Google Docs?? Try bit.ai for next level collab. The biggest difference is that in bit.ai you can add ANY content to your docs, not just text and images. Gifs, file attachments, videos, code blocks, rich tables, equations, and cloud files. It also integrates with google drive, dropbox, any other file storage platform (even social media like IG - not sure what that means yet)

Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative by Ken Robinson: “It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can turn in two directions. Turn it one way, and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the other way, and you release resources and give people back to themselves.” Learning to be Creative is one of the best books for teachers to inspire learners and educators to think and act differently toward each other.

Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative by Ken Robinson: “It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can turn in two directions. Turn it one way, and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the other way, and you release resources and give people back to themselves.” Learning to be Creative is one of the best books for teachers to inspire learners and educators to think and act differently toward each other.

                                                                                                                                                                                                               • The concept of being innovative can be made to sound so simple. We think of a new idea. We take a risk and implement the new idea. We fail, learn, and move forward. But what if the development of the innovative thinking isn’t the only roadblock? What if so much of your day is spent solving the issues around you that even the attempt at developing new ideas is not even on your radar? What if you long to have more divergent teachers in your school district or to be that divergent teacher, but you simply don’t know where to start? This is where I was as a Technology Integrator several years ago. I knew what innovative teaching looked like, but I didn’t know how to support all the other areas that were taking teachers away from having the time and the brain space to think innovatively and divergently.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                 • The concept of being innovative can be made to sound so simple. We think of a new idea. We take a risk and implement the new idea. We fail, learn, and move forward. But what if the development of the innovative thinking isn’t the only roadblock? What if so much of your day is spent solving the issues around you that even the attempt at developing new ideas is not even on your radar? What if you long to have more divergent teachers in your school district or to be that divergent teacher, but you simply don’t know where to start? This is where I was as a Technology Integrator several years ago. I knew what innovative teaching looked like, but I didn’t know how to support all the other areas that were taking teachers away from having the time and the brain space to think innovatively and divergently.

In a Google Doc use the Doc Secrets AddOn.  Want to keep some text in your document private while sharing the rest of it with others? DocSecrets can help. Just add a password to the DocSecrets sidebar, then type any secret text you want to add to your document in the add-on's Insert field. You can select existing text on the page and click Censor text to hide it—but that text would still be visible in the document's history, making it not nearly as private. Then, to see the hidden text, your collaborators will have to both know your password and have the DocSecrets add-on installed—otherwise all they'll see is colored lines and dashes.

In a Google Doc use the Doc Secrets AddOn.  Want to keep some text in your document private while sharing the rest of it with others? DocSecrets can help. Just add a password to the DocSecrets sidebar, then type any secret text you want to add to your document in the add-on's Insert field. You can select existing text on the page and click Censor text to hide it—but that text would still be visible in the document's history, making it not nearly as private. Then, to see the hidden text, your collaborators will have to both know your password and have the DocSecrets add-on installed—otherwise all they'll see is colored lines and dashes.

We’ve been in hybrid learning for 4 weeks and it already seems stale… What can I do to make the classroom interactive and interesting?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         2. I am super frustrated with teaching on zoom when my students have Chromebooks. There are a lot of functions such as annotation, choosing their own breakouts, etc that they can’t use. Do you have any suggestions?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         3. Digital assessments are now my biggest headache. What do you guys recommend?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         4. Now that we are 5 weeks into school and I am feeling better about my teaching situation, what are some edtech tools that you use in your classroom? https://www.nj.gov/education/covid19/teacherresources/virtualproflearning.shtml
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         5. What is a good way to digitally “hand out” materials to my students? There are so many options in my LMS, but sometimes I just want to provide a resource that they can edit and save.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         6. I see that you are posting a lot of videos on YouTube about edtech, what projects are you working on now?

We’ve been in hybrid learning for 4 weeks and it already seems stale… What can I do to make the classroom interactive and interesting?

I am super frustrated with teaching on zoom when my students have Chromebooks. There are a lot of functions such as annotation, choosing their own breakouts, etc that they can’t use. Do you have any suggestions?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         3.

Now that we are 5 weeks into school and I am feeling better about my teaching situation, what are some edtech tools that you use in your classroom? https://www.nj.gov/education/covid19/teacherresources/virtualproflearning.shtml

What is a good way to digitally “hand out” materials to my students? There are so many options in my LMS, but sometimes I just want to provide a resource that they can edit and save.

Check it out.A Reflective Episode on Current EventsWelcome back to GotTechED the Podcast.  We’re going to take a break from our regular podcast schedule to address the issues regarding race and police violence in the United States. Over the last couple weeks Guise and I have taken a pause from creating content to do some reflecting on recent events.  We are sickened by the path that America has taken and the devastating loss of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and many many others that, tragically, are too numerous to name.  This podcast supports all people in their fight for systemic change towards equality, justice and a better America.

Over the last couple weeks Guise and I have taken a pause from creating content to do some reflecting on recent events.  We are sickened by the path that America has taken and the devastating loss of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and many many others that, tragically, are too numerous to name.  This podcast supports all people in their fight for systemic change towards equality, justice and a better America.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Segment 1:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     1.

We are a tech podcast, but mostly we are educators.  As educators we feel that we play a critical role in helping to shape the world and the recent racial issues are

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     1. We need to educate ourselves on our political leaders so we can vote for people who stand by principals of equality and believe that #blacklivesmatter

We need to write to our government to ask them to be better and learn from reoccurring mistakes.

We need to continue or start conversations with our schools about race, gender, privilege, and equality.

WURRLYedu is a music education platform that offers culturally relevant content and interactive digital tools to make music education fun, effective and affordable.   For teachers, WURRLYedu offers a web portal with a personalized curriculum builder that is supported by thousands of lesson plans, an extensive music catalog, and a library of video tips from Grammy Award-Winning Artists. Our Teacher Content Platform includes the most extensive catalog in K-12, including thousands of songs from pop to classical.  Through the WURRLYedu platform, teachers have complete classroom control over the orchestration of assignments, lessons, grading, feedback, and even the modification and delivery of creative assets—such as the ability to change the speed and key of a song to suit student needs. Teachers can identify the appropriate instructional material by skill level, genre or keyword. Teachers can also include WURRLY-exclusive video tips from Grammy award-winning artists to inspire their students. For students, WURRLYedu is a mobile and web platform that offers creation tools, including access to thousands of popular songs, customization tools and a portable recording studio with one-touch audio and video filters. Class feeds and collaboration tools are also included so that students have all the resources necessary to discover, practice, and record music both inside and outside the classroom. WURRLYedu also offers fun and interactive music theory and ear training games with automated feedback make it easy to learn musical notation, scales and oral skills. In the past year, the platform has created thousands of music lesson plans from General Music, to Modern Band, Jazz, Special Education, Therapeutic Music Activities, and Choir.  This Fall, WURRLYedu is introducing a student web portal. Equitable access to a high-quality music program is essential to a well-rounded educational experience. Students using WURRLYedu will enjoy the same robust features, already available on iOS and Android, on browser-based devices including Chromebooks. WURRLYedu’s innovative approach increases student engagement, improves the development of both musical, social and emotional skills, while also providing teachers and administrations a clear view of the curriculum’s effectiveness. The platform also solves for many of the barriers in music education including lack of resources, class time, accessibility, and a relevant curriculum. Partners using WURRLYedu include the Public School District of Philadelphia, the California Department of Education, the Boy and Girls Clubs, Exceptional Children’s Foundation, and the LAUSD Partnership Schools. WURRLYedu is a member of SETDA’s Emerging Private Sector Partners Program.

To get the complete breakdown and descriptions of all 41 EdTech Tools Click Here! In fantasy sports drafts, participants draft players to fill positions on a team.  For example, in a baseball fantasy draft, the managers (participants) draft Major League baseball players from any team to play each of the positions on a baseball field.  The statistics of each player contributes to each manager’s score with the goal of having the best team. Now let’s set the parameters for the fantasy EdTech draft.  Nick, Jeff, and Guise came up with a list of 41 EdTech Tools and placed them under six categories for the draft.  The six categories included: 1) Photo/Video, 2) Gamification/Assessment, 3) Personalized Learning/Feedback, 4) Collaboration/Curation, 5) Classroom Management/Environment, and 6) Productivity/Creativity. There are 7 drafting rounds (one EdTech Tool must be selected from each of the six categories and one utility tool that can be from any of the six categories). Nick, Jeff, and Guise will be drafting under the following terms: All 3 teachers run a student-centered classroom. All 3 teachers have access to G-Suite (no extensions or add-ons included unless they are drafted). Only the drafted tech tools can be used in their classroom. The person who drafts the best collection of EdTech Tools wins.
