A small, fun way to help encourage reading with my study hall kids has been starting each Monday reading the @crumbl menu together and noting the vibrant descriptions and different text features.

Starting my last class at @ACEedu for my principal preparation certificate! Excited to have it accomplished in just ten weeks. Anyone go through the program and have an insights to share on that last class?

If you aren't using @magicschoolai, I cannot recommend enough how much of a gamechanger and support it has been for me in the classroom. We are doing a Presidential Roundtable Discussion that I worked through and had MagicSchool help me chunk!

In Hillsborough County Public Schools, 7,000 teachers are now using MagicSchool in their classrooms. Not to replace anything, but to support what’s already working.

As their Chief Academic Officer explains, “Nothing can replace human interaction… nothing can ever replace a strong teacher in the classroom.”

That’s exactly the point. Teachers are magic and always have been. AI should support great teaching, not redefine it.

Starting my penultimate course for my Principal Prep Certificate. Balancing coursework with teaching new preps and having a newborn has been BUSY, but it has definitely really impacted my understanding of school operations and leadership in a positive way!

When you make it on the @magicschoolai Facebook page! 🔥🔥🔥 love the product and always love when I get to help promote it!!

[Adeel @ MagicSchool AI @adeelorama]

. @Google said the quiet part out loud in recently revealed internal documents.

They imagine a future where:

“Parents ask their children, ‘Why aren’t you watching more YouTube?’”

“School administrators shift budgets from textbooks to YouTube subscriptions.”

I don’t know a single parent or school asking for this.

Real technology literacy means students understand that platforms like YouTube and Google make money through ads and by maximizing time on platform.

It means understanding how algorithms are designed to capture attention and drive revenue, often at the expense of depth, focus, and well-being.

I’d prefer students spend less time on screens and more time engaging with trusted teachers, classmates, family, and the world around them.

At @magicschoolai, we believe technology can be a powerful learning tool for students when used purposefully and aligned to clear learning outcomes.

That’s not to say Google hasn’t done good work for schools. It has, and there are many mission-driven people there working hard to support student learning.

But when children’s learning environments are shaped by ad-driven incentives, something fundamental is off.

Having my students do a contract negotiation for Managers v. Workers in the Progressive Era. Had @magicschoolai help me divide up the days and am using a custom chatbot to help them prep for the negotiation. I'm excited for this!! @DGrahamLCPS @Shaffer_LCPS @ERobbPrincipal

[Phil Strunk, M.Ed. @MrPStrunk]
