Sign up time for The Stafford Challenge. Write one poem every day. Yeah, yeah, I hear you. That's a lot. Every day?? But there are poems of 2 lines. 3 lines. We can do it fellow writers and ELA teachers (and non ELA teachers!) staffordchallenge.com #iteachEnglish #writing

We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?

At #NETA #NETA24, I learned about how to set up a helper AI for my writing students using School AI. Several of my students have been using it for immediate feedback and then making revisions. It doesn't eliminate my own or peer feedback, but another tool for their toolbox #iteachEnglish

I've used AI to produce examples of weak texts (to use for peer response practice, for example). But AI can't come close to the amazing mentor pieces out there with ingenuity and voice.

Can we take this a step further and say SAMR is a very simplistic way to think about #EdTech? TPack and TIM encourage more thoughtfulness about subject matter and educational approaches.

I made a notebook yesterday for teacher-writers research. Then I asked one of the articles a few questions...it was amazing how quickly I got answers with links to locations in the article. Wow, just wow, on the speed when looking for specifics. #GoogleEdu #EduSky

When I taught high school, every class started with independent reading. Their choice of book. Organic book convos start among students. Fanatic proponent of this. #BFC530 #iteachenglish
