Are you bilingual or multilingual? Do you know anyone who is?

Knowing more than one language is truly a gift. 🎁

Let’s share with students, families, and colleagues the many ways we can unwrap the powerful gifts that language offers.

Wow, where has @magicschoolai been all my life?!?

I love that the focus is on SOLID LEARNING, not automating superficial learning tasks.

⭐ +40 magic tools
⭐ Chatbot trained to help teachers
⭐ Teacher joke & colleague song generator 😂

Yep, it's free. https://t.co/wYrnSulOFM

Could this help lower the affective filter for English learners?

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

Here's how I do tests in math class: For the first 5 minutes of the session, students put their writing utensils on the ground, I hand out the tests, and students can chat with each other about the test. So many students have mentioned how much this lowers their test anxiety.

[Laura Diaz Ortega @PDforyourELD]

Love this infographic from @HollyClarkEdu Instead of using AI Detectors,we should enter into a conversation with the student, teach them to properly and ethically use AI tools, and then have them dialogue with us about their creation process. #aiandeducation

[Holly Clark - The AI Infused Classroom @HollyClarkEdu]

The problems with AI detectors and what we can do in class instead of chasing down student "cheating" with AI. More information coming in my newsletter tomorrow. get on the list 👉🏼https://t.co/TM7faEdOvU
