Teachers often ask me, "How do you plan a UDL lesson?" 🤔I created the following flowchart to help with the process of proactively planning with UDL in mind. What are your thoughts? #udl #udlchat #edtech

@CanvaEdu The pre-made templates!!! They are amazing at providing inspiration AND helping my students get started!

Don’t do daily #MyRoomMessages anymore, but sometimes I feel compelled to share a message with my kiddos.

I hate that they hate (fear) writing.

How do you remove "I can't" from the classroom conversation?

As soon as we've learned something, we start to forget it. Here are 5 research-backed strategies you can use when you need to make something stick.

@JJefferiesWilmU I discussed it in my latest blog post. I truly don't think its appropriate for student use. Using it to create lessons can definitely save time, but is that true to the teacher? I'm not a huge AI fan right now!

@AlexisWilmu6020 That’s very interesting!! I think AI is so complex that it is appropriate for AP Computer Science, not my freshman English classes.. maybe one day!

[Ms. Valerie Palmer @Ms_VPalmer]

@adams_eliz90163 I feel like its difficult to justify students usage of AI, however, teachers can certainly utilize it.

[Ms. Valerie Palmer @Ms_VPalmer]

@MeganBarne83105 AI can definitely help teachers in a pinch! Have you checked out @magicschoolai ? I just discovered it recently.

[Ms. Valerie Palmer @Ms_VPalmer]

@ldlred4 I'm also hesitant to use it myself. I teach RC special ed. English and I'm fairly sure they'd abuse it! I'm looking for ways that they can use AI appropriately.

@AdamsEmilylynn Hi Emily, I love Blooket! My favorite/most used gamification tool is Gimkit. There are so many different game modes for students to try, so there's always a new way to challenge them!

[Ms. Valerie Palmer @Ms_VPalmer]

@sbantom001 Samantha, this is an awesome question. One concern I have about students cyber safety is that they're sharing too much online with strangers. One strategy I use is a "cyber safety" mini lesson at the beginning of the year, teaching students how to be safe online!

[Ms. Valerie Palmer @Ms_VPalmer]

@AlexisWilmu6020 Hi Alexis, I think that at this point, technology detaches our students. While it is greatly beneficial in the classroom, students can feel enticed to become off topic during class, too!

Sometimes the greatest PD is the teacher down the hall.

@emily_osterman1 @KFranklin923 Emily, this is a great idea!! I'm going to think of ways to incorporate this into my class. Thanks for sharing :)

@MeganBarne83105 @KFranklin923 Megan, my school also utilizes social media to reach more people in the community. I think the best way to connect with parents is via Facebook. Thanks for sharing.
