Blog of the month Things Lancy reads for fun! | Panel Updates! You may have noticed some changes to your Promethean Panel. The new update has fixed the timer and spinner sound issue. You can now use the timer/spinner while you are on the computer input with SOUNDS. You can also upload large lists with a flash drive to make the creation of the “wheel of names” or the like much quicker and easier! Here are my updated how-tos! Finally, the annotation tool has been upgraded as well! Now, you can hide annotations without them being deleted AND you can save them to share with students later! |
How to Keep Students Writing By Edutopia With the rise of new Artificial Intelligence tools that are changing the way students write, it’s important to remember that these tools aren’t going away. We as educators need to teach students to be lifelong learners in the world of the future, even if that doesn’t exist yet. This article says, “One way to keep original thought alive in students is to consider instructional design.” Even though AI is becoming more intertwined in the writing process, it’s important to remember the HOW of our instructional methodologies. Teachers and human connection will never be replaced by robots! | |
