@mrshowell24 So excited to join you on this adventure! My book’s supposed to arrive tomorrow. In the meantime, I had fun with the pre-reading activity by reimagining my classroom with @GetSchoolAI to prepare for our upcoming short story unit!
#Rurality is often assumed to worsen emergency surgical outcomes, yet this study shows that when transfer systems function well, most rural patients achieve equivalent results comparable to metropolitan areas!

@arlenbitsky@swivl “Kindness” became “Even when life is tough, it’s important to treat others with kindness” & “staying strong” was refined to “Don’t give up even when things are hard.” My 8th graders love interacting with M2 💕
Huge thanks to @arlenbitsky@swivl 🙌 M2’s guided groups are game changing! Students went from single-word themes ➡️ full statements in less than a week 🚀 And today, it was like we had 3 teachers in the room thanks to M2 leading a station rotation! 👏#RockSolid
@arlenbitsky@swivl After I shared the learning target (Express theme as message/complete sentence with evidence to support the theme), M2 was ready in less than 10 seconds! Students gave one-word theme topics & M2 guided them to theme statements after listening to their text evidence. Amazing!🤩
When I introduced the @swivl M2 at our ELA PLC meeting, we were amazed at how it held a conversation in Swahili Kikuyu, my colleague’s native language. 🤯A powerful tool for bridging cultures and empowering educators & students worldwide! 🌍
Some of our @TheLeaderinMe training @STMSWildcats highlights the importance of making deposits in our emotional bank accounts 💕 One of my students surprised me with a letter to deposit into mine—and it made my whole day! 🥹✨ #ClimbingHigherTogether#LeaderInMe
What a great reminder of the impact teachers make! 🌟
From a student’s @NWEA MAP Reading reflection:
My score increased because of my 8th grade ELA teacher. I’ve been listening and that’s how I improved.
The little things teachers do each day become a student’s big wins. 💕
My co-teacher never gets tired, always notices the little things, & gives feedback instantly. The twist? It’s AI 🤖Here’s how @swivl M2 supported my English I class during “Marigolds” by Eugenia Collier. #MirrorTalk
@swivl Then came actionable suggestions—gentle nudges from @swivl M2 to deepen the conversation & guide student thinking. It’s like having a teaching partner who’s always tuned in! #MirrorTalk
