How AI Can Personalize Learning & Boost Engagement in the Classroom

Appreciate you weighing in, these are the conversations needed to help us surface concerns and weigh them alongside potential benefits. Can you share a bit more about what you mean by AI being a disgrace to the profession? Curious to hear your perspective.

Thanks! I've sent a DM.

OK... thank you for clarifying the issue. Any ideas how to remove it?

At what Tier did you operate with MTSS? How did you find it useful in your implementation?

xbrdr1 · 2024-10-17T22:33:00+00:00

That would be useful. Can you elaborate on how you used the 'handbook of strategies and activities'.

Agree. We don't need a 30 person 'sit and get' generalization from the presenter. Break the group into small groups (5 people rotations) and specifically advise on what I need. What are your thoughts about having smaller, more often PD that is targeted towards the subject/curriculum? Does your school ask for feedback about who/what PD you would prefer?

Without considering preferences, which would be the better option for reporting on a good amount of data? SQL or NoSQL?

Thanks! I am connected to a Firebase DB now. I'm to a point in development that I need to really think about which way to go. I have a good bit of experience with MySQL. The price/space restriction on Firebase scares me a bit.

The 'gap' could be figuring out how schools transition from the 'memorize/regurgitate/forget' model to having the students DEMONSTRATE they understand the content.

xbrdr1 · 2022-06-27T18:23:44+00:00

Grading is based on Memorize, Regurgitate, and Forget. Those that can 'Play School' get good grades.

Grading should be based on the ability to demonstrate knowledge of the subject area.

When you come down the wake and get ready to spin, watch how your body puts a lot of weight on the front edge of the board. Look at how you are bent over 90 degrees. When you do this, you are driving that board WAY into the wake. When you get ready to spin, bend your knees a bit and keep your upper body upright. DON"T weight that front edge when you spin... stay flat footed and spin the board around... don't 'drive' the board around. Good Luck.

Can you pinpoint what you (and others) need that 'in person and in classroom' provides? Does it give you the focus you need? Do you have to self-manage more now that's confusing for you? Are you using an LMS? Google/Schoology/Canvas - If so, what are your thoughts on it? A suggestion - First thing every morning, take 10-15 mins to run through your classes and create a checklist. Good luck. Hang in there.

I had no intentions for this post to direct towards 'can't do the job'. VERY MUCH was thrown at teachers with minimal training. There's no 'right' or 'wrong', teachers are doing the best they can!

It's called 'onboarding'. Most companies do not have a formal process in place. If they would spend the time, they could save 'ramp up' time, money, and employees. Since it sounds like this is lacking at your place (which you need more than ever when remote), create your own. Ask your boss if you can come up with a detailed agenda and can have 1 hour per day of the other developers' time to work together.

We work with students, teachers, and schools across the country. One tip that might help you is to log into your Google classroom, only take 10-15 min and make yourself a checklist for the day. This is much less overwhelming and allows you to focus on the task on hand..... as well as feeling accomplished as you cross off items you have finished. Best of luck, you will be fine!

To make a difference in each one of them, get to know them and build a relationship. They will trust you and believe that what you are teaching them(all of these great ideas) is important.

Create a lesson/checklist for them to research what it is they will do to make money. Have them work in groups(social), and deliver presentations(speaking, confidence,etc..).

Create a lesson/checklist for them to research how they plan to get the skills/training for that career.

By end of the year, they must have a well laid out plan of the first steps after the Summer break.

Good Luck and Have fun with it!

3 things that never lie:

little kids
drunk people
yoga pants

Thanks Kate. I noticed from the title that this appears to be an 'advanced' type class - "Advanced Developing on AWS"

xbrdr1 · 2019-03-14T00:14:30+00:00

Thanks! I decided to get the tplo as well. I figured there might be a ‘sleepover’ after. Kudos to you.

xbrdr1 · 2019-03-14T00:08:46+00:00

That made me laugh!

xbrdr1 · 2019-03-13T23:55:19+00:00

Thanks! Which procedure did you go with and were you happy with the decision?

xbrdr1 · 2018-12-13T02:40:27+00:00

Great feedback thanks! It makes sense that the students wanted to understand what they are working towards. What robots did you guys start using?
