Spanish class brought to life! This week's #FeatureTeacherFriday, Andrea Vallejo's Spanish 2 students used iPads to film, edit, and voiceover their morning routines in iMovie to showcase their language skills. Peer feedback on Schoology made it even better! #RISDDreamOn

Want an easy entry point for purposeful technology? Start with camera! 📸 Ms. Salvans’ chemistry students used time-lapse to film themselves solving mole problems. We love how time-lapse captures the entire thinking process, not just the final answer. #RISDDreamOn @RichardsonHS1

We heard you loud and clear: you want a way to organize your notebooks. So... Meet Collections! A brand new tab, Collections operate like photo albums or playlists: zero rigid folder structures with maximum flexibility. Add notebooks to as many collections as you want, or skip them and stick with the main "My Notebooks" tab. Collections are rolling out starting today to all users. Let us know what you think! (you always do 😉)

The real magic happens in the middle ground where we choose the best tool for the specific job, whether that’s a 2026 AI chatbot or a 1950s No. 2 pencil. Here is a framework to use to make those minute-by-minute judgment calls. #EdTech #DitchThatTextbook #TeacherTips
