Excited to talk design thinking & student-led learning at #SpringCUE by @joincalie ! @juliegoo2 & I will share how we integrate ideas from Susie Wise’s “Design for Belonging” book into learning that has Ss design to improve belonging & respect among peers. Hope to see you there!

Really enjoying these pre-made A.I. activities by @Seesaw this week! Such a great way to start the convo about A.I. with my 3rd grade #CSed Ss. We’re learning what A.I. is & where Ss already see A.I. used in their lives— from Alexa to TV show recommendations, & maps.

[Amanda Haughs @MsHaughs]

Great discussions & questions about A.I. this past week in my 4th-6th grade classes, as we practice prompting to generate images in @AdobeExpress !

Love Ss thoughtful questions about the ethics, safety & environmental impacts of artificial intelligence tech.

Watched a tutorial during my morning prep, and had my 1st @figma Design created & laser cut (earrings maybe?) by lunch. So fun!!
So I decided to teach my #MakerEd 7th & 8th Ss their first lesson in the afternoon. Can’t wait to see what they create!

[Amanda Haughs @MsHaughs]

Teaching #CSed to some of the younger grades again this year, so of course had to launch with our @hellorubyworld “What Is A Computer” unit! 2nd graders had a blast learning about hardware by building model computers. #CSforAll

[Amanda Haughs @MsHaughs]

Middle school maker class is rocking their first project of the trimester— hand sewn softies. Learning the running stitch & blanket stitch = excellent fine motor skill work!

I 💙 this so much! For their final, some of my gr8 Ss wanted to create an animatronic hand to sign ASL w/@raspberrypi Pico. It took hours of classes, lunch breaks & drop-ins just to build & code a few fingers to move. So proud of their hard work & dedication! #CSed #MakerEd

[Amanda Haughs @MsHaughs]

Testing out my new @toybox_labs 3D printer today. So far, so easy to use! The Ss are going to love it!

[Amanda Haughs @MsHaughs]

@gfinn @Raspberry_Pi Ooooh, no, and what a great idea! It has audio that wasn’t working at the moment… says the word in Spanish then English.

[Amanda Haughs @MsHaughs]

One year later… finally finished this sample project & sooo happy with the outcome!!
Using @Raspberry_Pi & focused on theme of designing for a more inclusive school community. Ready to launch the project with 8th grade!

Catching up with @quizizz this year & really digging the drag & drop activity! Changing the way I create practice activities for my #CSed Ss.

[Amanda Haughs @MsHaughs]

6th grade is having fun learning to code custom Lego bricks in @tinkercad Codeblocks + all the math that goes along with it! Great practice with loops and measurement.

Play is essential to social, emotional, and academic learning. It is important that we continue to build play into academic learning throughout the school day.

[Amanda Haughs @MsHaughs]

Loving @MLforKids in 6th grade this week, as Ss learn more about how AI & machine learning work. Ss experimented w/training the computer to recognize faces in Scratch while creating either their own “filters” or “face locks”.
