ALT In this engaging and interactive project, 6th grade students embarked on a journey to uncover the lives and legacies of influential Black Americans who have left an indelible mark on American history. Through research and collaboration, students immersed themselves into the stories of these remarkable individuals and presented their findings in the form of an interview style podcast.

Finally done! Science folks, this Google sheet has 300 of the most popular Crash Course Science videos all organized nicely for you 😀
AND for every single video, there's a premade quiz, worksheet, and interactive video 😎

I hope this is as helpful as I think it's going to be! You can save it right to your drive so you have it for the whole year whenever you need it! 💾

Probably the best presentation I saw at #ISTElive 2025 was this Slam by @JoeMarquez70! Great real world examples I can bring back to teachers. A great way to cap off an amazing ISTE conference.
Why not start the day with the powerhouse @jmattmiller at #ISTELive Day 2?! I appreciate the real world experience and application ideas.
Thinking about designing Professional Learning to "Boost Educator Efficiency with AI" with @roxi_thompson at #ISTELive 2025.
Spoke with two brilliant young students, one from Mexico who worked on creating a virtual museum about the Congress of Mexico using AI videos and a student from Japan who researched clothing waste and developed a poster with paper circuits. #ISTELive

After 10 years as Quizizz, we're evolving into Wayground.
What started as a simple quiz platform has become something bigger—a place where every student finds their way forward.
None of this would exist without the teachers who believed in us. Let's find a way, together. 🩷
So excited that I get to go to my 2nd ISTE ever! Working on building my plan for sessions and booths to visit. #iste25

My jaw literally dropped during this call, and I asked Arjav to repeat what he said to me so I could record it for you all 🤯
If you have 3 minutes (or even just 1 to see the beginning), check out what's coming out very soon in @quizizz 😎

This is great news for teachers in my district since Quizlet won’t sign our Data Privacy Agreement to remain compliant with Edlaw 2d, but Quizizz did sign! @Quizizz keeps getting better and better!
Great day of PD today with @WCSD_K12 middle school teachers; breakout sessions for @justmoteHQ , @BookCreatorApp, @quizizz and @ClassVR. Huge thank you to @justmoteHQ for providing the muffins! #muffinswithmote #ProfessionalDevelopment @WGarlapo @LarryGoble @cristinadange20

It’s interesting how much people suddenly care about cheating in school. Research from @StanfordEd shows that the level of cheating in US high schools hasn't changed with the intro of generative AI tools.
Moral of story: cheating is a cultural issue not a technological one.

The is a great read about @MicrosoftFlip and the future of edtech products that are "free"! Thanks to @VictoriaTheTech for sharing.
The Flip news yesterday was a bummer. To me, the lesson here is that products end up serving the interests of those who fund them. We should consider this when adopting (or building) free products in K12: adamsparks.substack.com/p/fr…
