Thanks @edtechwithlisa for your useful ideas on how to incorporate AI in lessons! @kedc_epic @KEDCGrants

Thanks to Kyle Tredinnick of University of Nebraska for showing us ways to incorporate more geography skills into our lessons and making it more relevant for students! @kedc_epic @KEDCGrants

Guess who is teaching us about Gems and is a GEM herself.....Lisa Nydick of course! From writing the perfect prompt to ensure the AI doesn't ghostwrite or hallucinate information, I feel like I'm ready to try it out with Caesar Augustus next week! @kedc_epic @edtechwithlisa

Thanks OER Project for taking on the serious conversation of ethical AI use. How do we responsibly teach AI as a thought partner but protect the productive struggle that allows students to develop their critical thinking and grit? @kedc_epic @KEDCGrants @OERProject

[Amanda Carter @ClassroomCarter]

AI is out there. Students are using it. It falls to us to model ethical usage of AI, so students have a chance of using it responsibly. Thank you Lisa for showing us what that looks like. @edtechwithlisa @kedc_epic @KEDCGrants

The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas has a virtual curriculum that teaches high school students about digital banking! @kedc_epic @KEDCGrants

Lots of great ways to teach digital literacy and spot those AI fakes! So important to Stop, Investigate, Find, and Trace those sources! @edtechwithlisa @kedc_epic @KEDCGrants

[Amanda Carter @ClassroomCarter]

Images can be such a powerfu tool for students to develop their inquiry skills! QFTs (Question Formulation Technique) allow students to generate and edit their questions to foster good discussions. Thanks Kelly Estepp for modeling! @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic

Did you know field trips to the Kentucky Historical Society are free for America 250? Lots of great resources on the website! @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic

Man, can Jeff Urbin give an inspiring speech about the importance of guarding our rights! Great job connecting our founding documents to show students that these words and ideas are aspirational and ongoing! @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic

[Amanda Carter @ClassroomCarter]

Love the strategy of "Says, Means, Matters" to teach students to select evidence that connects to their argument. I will be using this with my 6th graders to help them with their reasoning/explanations in their writing! Thanks Kelly Estepp! @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic

[Amanda Carter @ClassroomCarter]

Great strategies for visual literacy from the National Museum of American History. Having students share their observations and elaborate on them forces more deeper level thinking! @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic

[Amanda Carter @ClassroomCarter]

If you teach the Holocaust, please check out this superb curriculum guide from @FDRLibrary It even includes the once banned documentary Nurnberg detailing the Nazi trials aftermath. We love Jeff Urbin! @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic

Blending the power and beauty of music and art that demonstrate human struggle and strength during the Holocaust allows our students to make those authentic connections. Thanks Renee Boss for an excellent session! @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic

[Amanda Carter @ClassroomCarter]

We've got vocabulary strategies from Kelly Estepp with Wordsplash, Concept Mapping, and using a Writer's Craft Sheet to analyze authentic pieces to see literary devices and figurative language in action! @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic

Lisa sharing some of her favorite Canva tools with us. I love how Canva can make choice board websites, personalized design templates, and even record Tik Tok videos. @edtechwithlisa @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic

Oh so happy to be reunited with Jeff Urbin! What a great job really breaking down the Declaration of Independence for us! Taxes, Tariffs, and Trampling of Our Rights! Oh my! @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic
