Use ChatGPT to increase your productivity and as a resource for finding classroom resources. For example, use the chat to find activities accompanying your current book study. An example question might be, "What are some activities to add to our study of Charlotte's Web in third grade?" Use a clarifying question to select one of the provided activities and ask for free online resources that support the provided response. This example includes several clarifying questions that provide additional ideas for books and activities to accompany Charlotte's. Ask ChatGPT to differentiate activities for students who need extra support or for those that need enrichment activities. Another use for ChatGPT is to write Student of the Week paragraphs; ask ChatGPT to write a paragraph including the student's name and accomplishments and revise the section to fit your needs.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) is a necessary component of all classrooms today. As educators, we need to find ways to reach all students and help them better understand STEM topics. In this session, we'll share a few STEM activities for educators with limited tech options and those who are simply looking for a no- or low-tech STEM lesson. We'll also reflect on the activity suggestions and discuss possible management concerns that arise when working in cooperative groups. As a result of this session, teachers will: 1. Explore no-tech and low-tech STEM activities; 2. Understand the engineering design process; and 3. Plan for the integration of no- and low-tech STEM activities in the classroom. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.

Water, Water Everywhere - is one of the TeachersFirst Help! I lost my media/library specialist collection found here. This article features topics and resources that explain how little fresh water there is in the world. The Introduction and Background Knowledge give facts about fresh water and explain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for accessible, clean water. The Activities section suggests several books to read that range from ages PreK to grade 12, with seven videos from which to choose. One activity suggests students practice walking with jugs of water balancing on their heads. Another activity is to simulate cleaning up bird feathers after an oil spill. Additional resources and activities are suggested in the Extensions section.

Include books from this list on your recommended books list to share with students. Engage students further by completing the activity about walking with a water container on their heads. Use Flip, reviewed here to have students relate how it felt to balance and carry the water and how they could make getting water easier for the community. Ask students to listen to and comment on other classmates' descriptions and ideas. Possibly work with the physical education teacher to teach students how to balance a jug on their head and walk at the same time.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Multilingual students may benefit from having written text to support video content. Provide a written transcript for students to use when watching a video to add notes and highlight important information. Share a copy of a video transcript in your learning management system for students to access when reviewing information for tests and quizzes. When working with videos that require in-depth discussion, consider copying the transcript into Fiskitt, reviewed here. Fiskett is a collaborative tool for annotating documents online. Ask students to highlight important information, add comments to clarify information, or use the included tags to label information as true or false.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Create curiosity, activate prior knowledge, and generate discussion before introducing a new topic or concept; create a poll with questions about the upcoming lesson. Display the poll on a screen or ask students to access it on their devices. Quickly generate formative assessment surveys throughout a lesson or unit. Students can also engage in peer discussion by comparing their responses and explaining their reasoning. Promote critical thinking, collaboration, and applying knowledge beyond the classroom by using Letsfind to design collaborative projects or opinion polls. Divide students into groups and assign them a real-world problem or scenario related to the topic. Each group can create a poll to gather opinions or propose solutions. They can then share their suveys with other groups, gather responses, and analyze the data collected.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Emojis are entertaining and a bit whimsical; however, they also help provide visual cues for assignments, feedback, and clarity to classroom routines. For example, use emojis as part of exit tickets for students to give feedback on their understanding of the day's lessons. Ask students to use emojis to create categories when researching information. Retell stories using emojis to represent characters or the sequence of events.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
