We have been using Loop for a year now and it has greatly improved our meetings and especially our planning sessions. Can't praise it enough!
Looking for a platform that does what Noodle Tools does + read and make notes like ReadCube does on PDFs. Mendely, Zotero & Margin Note not fitting the bill.
Suggestions?

🤩Summary of Call🤩
The Demo Slam episode was a huge success with so many interesting and helpful presentations by our “slammers”.

The learning at @Microsoft never disappoints , can't wait to dig into this one. Thank you, as always, @mtholfsen for sharing!
Digital tools are advancing every day. Learning how to use them responsibly is key to developing a healthy relationship with #AI in the classroom.

A very interesting session with @edTechEvans around tech coaching models and he has me really re-evaluating my model preference. I can't wait to catch up with the other coaches at school.
@21cli
Attending the Empowering Women in STEM and Technology session @21cli and am learning so much. Lots about the importance of mentors. If you have had a female mentor be sure to let them know how important they were to you.
To second what @MrAlexEdTech said, it was such an interesting and enlightening conversation with @adeelorama and the amazing educators on #genaiforschools. Great questions, amazing discussions and a peek at the future, who could ask for more!?!?
🤖 An amazing call with the #GenAIforSchools group! Special thanks to Adeel Khan (@adeelorama) from @magicschoolai for taking the time to talk to us today on @MicrosoftTeams!
🤯 One of my favorite things Adeel said to us was, "The new skill we are building together is learning how to communicate with machines... this is a new core competency [of the 21st Century]."
📆Join us on our next call on March 28th when we will discuss “In what ways are you supporting you school community (i.e. students, teachers, parents) to use Generative AI?” Message me, or comments below and I'll add you to our group where we share resources, talk Generative AI, and organize our calls.
👏 Special thanks to @AlexMBraden for co-organizing the call, and @tweetdanai @ameliaktech @joshwood_edu @ryanstrutin @watnunu @HollyClarkEdu @desertclimber @CoraEdTech @constancekkg @jordan @j_smigel @alishamym @jhastings852 and more for joining the call!
Squeezed in the time to go through the three levels of @magicschoolai training, and boy was it worth it. There is a lot more going on under the hood than I thought for! Nice job folks! Any time you need boots on the ground give me a call. 📱
We had a great GenAI session with the entire @SASchina Pudong HS. Exploring not only the tools but guiding docs, resources and of course time to explore different uses of AI from both the teacher and the student perspective.
#GenAIforSchools
I flet very lucky to be a part of the conversation and planning that brought such an amazing group of educators together. Can't wait for March 28!

Cultural competency is not a soft skill. You need to work on it. It’s about connection. Inaction perpetuates the wrong that has happened in the past. ~ Tammy Baart
Learning about ways of being, doing, and thinking #GoogleChampions
To celebrate our Hour of Code @SASchina we invited students and teachers to play over 25 different games developed in our CS classes. Great fun, great feedback = Great learning!
This week @SASchina one of my favorite events, Teachers Teaching Teachers. The only problem is that I was having so much fun presenting on @MicrosoftEDU Learning Accelerators and @ClassVR with my outstanding colleague @christopherz67 I didn't get to see any other presentations.
Want to see students engaged? Have the amazing @harkinworld teach them to build worlds in @CoSpaces_Edu and explore them in @ClassVR . Amazing stuff!
Leadership skill I have developed as a coach? Not sure this qualifies, but active listening is one. Putting aside all distractions and just listening. My colleague @mabycraft has such passion for learning he would be a great coach!
