Have you tried asking this before? 💬

Quote from @sustainteaching.bsky.social

#EdChat #EduSky #teachers
“One of my favorite things to ask kids is ‘Are you stuck? Or are you thinking?’ I do this because it gives them agency in whether or not I support them. Sometimes, kids just need extra time to think—and if we intervene too soon, we diminish their agency.” —Paul Emerich France, Educator

Most students know how to scroll. Few know how to spot fake news. At a US school, teens build fake news stories then try to fool each other. They learn how bias works and how to think before they share.

That’s digital literacy that sticks. #EduSky #AIEduSky

Most Google apps let your quickly switch between personal and work Google accounts. Chrome doesn't. Here's my solution.

2nd grade students using @schoolai.com spaces to chat with George Washington or Benjamin Franklin about the revolutionary war. Taking notes via the 5W's guided interview method from @diffitapp.bsky.social. So much fun! We then made a study song using call and response in #Suno #SkyEDU #EDUSky
