Educators are justified in questioning things, but continue to interrogate the way we’ve always done it, too! #captivate #studentengagement #education #teaching #learning #edu #teacherlife

Let’s make sure AI helps teachers stay creative—not automate education.

🚨 Teachers, STOP writing lesson plans like essays! 🛑
It’s not about format—it’s about function.
🎥 A lesson plan isn’t a checklist—it’s a blueprint for real learning.

What’s the worst lesson plan format you’ve been forced to use? Drop it in the comments.

Teaching chemistry with energy, story, and a dash of #Shrek ?
That’s how you #Captivate.
Laughter opens minds—and great teachers use everything they’ve got.

✨ Use tech to spark collaboration, inquiry, creativity, and voice.
It’s not about the tool—it’s about the task.

School used to be about finding the right answer.
Today, it’s about asking the right questions.
Time to rethink what we’re actually offering students.

Do Nows weren’t built for curiosity—they were built for control.
But the best lessons don’t begin with control.
They begin with wonder.
