I'm surprised how many people aren't using AI Chrome extensions yet.

Stop limiting yourself to just ChatGPT.

Here are 5 new AI chrome extensions that will turn you into a productivity machine:

@ChristelBruno @EdTechSarahH That question take does take it to another level of commitment!

[Melissa Christ @mnm723]

@EdTechSarahH A4: We really have to work at setting high expectations ourselves and others. Really reflecting on our choices and if it's pushing us. Then committing to the task at hand. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

[Melissa Christ @mnm723]

@EdTechSarahH A3: I need to work on giving up the control. Ensuring that the teacher is in driver's seat and making those decisions on what's next. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

[Melissa Christ @mnm723]

@EdTechSarahH A2: Give teachers encouragement and create that connection so they want to push through. Let them know that everyone is going to have setbacks and talk them though the process. Find a way to connect and tell them it's okay if they dip. #FUSDBookStudy #ImpactCycle #FUSDChat

[Melissa Christ @mnm723]

@ChristelBruno @EdTechSarahH That's fair. Sometimes I think we just want to get right into the task that we don't remember to slow down. Plus, we all have such crazy busy schedules.

[Melissa Christ @mnm723]

@EdTechSarahH A1: Invent Improvements will be the most h challenging for me. I struggle with imposter syndrome at times so frankly, I just feel like I don't have many tools to share with my colleagues. I know I do since I'm in this role but I struggle anyway. #FUSDBookStudy #ImpactCycle

[Melissa Christ @mnm723]

@EdTechSarahH I'm really interested in reading through the power of checklists in Atul Gawande's The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right to really dive into how checklists can make coaching more effective. #FUSDBookStudy #impactcycle #FUSDchat

[Melissa Christ @mnm723]

@EdTechSarahH A3: I've been successful with visiting another teacher's classroom above all strategies. I feel that seeing the strategy modeled by someone you work with can help with discussions and reflection upon the practice and ways to implement in the future. #FUSDBookStudy #impactcycle

[Melissa Christ @mnm723]

@EdTechSarahH My biggest struggle with creating and using lists is that I tend to be detail oriented and write all steps excessively. I worry that's what I'll do with checklists: hold my reader's hand and that's not the way to do this. #FUSDBookStudy #impactcycle #FUSDchat

[Melissa Christ @mnm723]

@EdTechSarahH A1: Playbooks could be utilized in the EdTech world by incorporating playbooks into the trainings for teachers that are new to the district. These would be so useful and a great reference tool. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDchat #impactcycle

[Melissa Christ @mnm723]

@EdTechSarahH Making the teacher take ownership of the goal will ensure change and success in the classroom. The HOW is so important for the teachers to succeed. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

[Melissa Christ @mnm723]

@EdTechSarahH A4: these questions can help teachers identify a goal since it asks if the question has meaning to them (Q8) and allows collaboration with their coach as they decide on a teaching strategy (Q9). It really breaks down how this will help students stay successful. #FUSDBookStudy

[Melissa Christ @mnm723]

@EdTechSarahH Definitely creates teacher buy in since they are a primary decision maker. The can use their coach as a sounding board and someone to collaborate with. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle
