Had a great session today introducing our staff to NotebookLM, Google’s AI-powered note-taking and research tool.
We explored how it can streamline information, support student inquiry, and make our own planning more efficient.

Decided to try something new this year! I’m writing a mini-unit using #KPopDemonHunters to bridge themes and understand the depth of symbols. I’ll keep you posted on how it’s received! @edutopia.org

Teaching annotating skills IS teaching writing. When students learn to track tone, emotion, and intent with precision, they’re actually learning how to think like writers. Start with clear annotation guidance - watch their analysis soar. @edutopia.org

Wrapped up our Joy Luck Club unit with a student self-reflection check-in!
Students rated their confidence on 3 key skills (theme, tone, and irony), and now I’m using that data to plan next steps.

This is Tier 1, data-informed, student-centered instruction — a mirror for growth.

Just wrapped a Half-Hour Power PD on @briskteaching with my colleagues — 30 minutes of pure work smarter, not harder energy. 💡✍️ Teachers walked out with ready-to-use tools for feedback, lesson planning, and differentiation. @CSD31SI @Erlenwein @UFTTchrCENTER
