4 educator-approved spring cleaning tips to declutter and streamline your day: ✍️ Make a list of tasks to get done around the classroom: Writing down tasks and worries helps organize thoughts and prioritize responsibilities. 🫱🏼🫲🏾 Ask for help from other educators: Seeking assistance and feedback from colleagues can lead to more efficient spaces and stronger professional relationships. 🤩 Ditch perfection and strive for streamlining: Avoid overcomplicating the process. Focus on simplifying your day-to-day tasks to reduce stress. 🔑 Consistency is key: Assign specific places for items in your classroom (and keep them there!) to maintain organization and reduce the need for constant rearrangement. The more you are able to declutter before the school year ends, the better prepared you will be for whatever is around the corner!

Happy 26th Birthday to us! 🧡🤖🤍

In such diverse classrooms, having the support for differentiation can make all the difference.

#AI has entered the chat 💬 And when it comes to digital citizenship, AI literacy should be part of YOUR chats. Our newest Digital Citizenship topic, Artificial Intelligence, takes students on a journey to build background knowledge on what AI is and understand the impact AI can have on their daily lives (the good and bad!). Explore our Artificial Intelligence topic for free: https://brnpop.co/4cchsuT

As #AI continues to evolve, students today will engage with it more than any generation before them–and they need to be prepared for its potential influence on their lives. Having a basic understanding of how AI works helps students make informed choices when interacting with the technology. 🤖

Differentiated learning offers diverse pathways for students to grasp the material, allowing them to choose the approach that works best for them. Strategies to support differentiated instruction: 💡 Accessible Tech Tools: tools such as videos with closed captioning, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech features can support diverse learners. 💡 Interactive Features: Utilizing drag-and-drop activities, differentiated learning stations, and message boards encourages active participation and allows students to express their knowledge in various ways. 💡 Visual and Organizational Aids: Incorporating special fonts, photos, graphic organizers, templates, and digital dictionaries can make content more accessible and help students organize their thoughts effectively. 💡 Creative Expression: Tools like BrainPOP's Make-a-Movie enable students to create their own movies, fostering creativity and providing alternative ways to showcase their learning.

Have you ever met your hero? I did yesterday. 🥹 I was an early adopter of BrainPOP when I was teaching in Harlem. So meeting Moby (even in Lego form, which feels fitting given the company's newish home) was a true **MOMENT** for me. I have always been a huge advocate for joy in the classroom, and Moby and the BrainPOP team embody that perfectly. My students’ eyes lit up when they heard the intro song and our lessons weren’t quiet. They were filled with laughter, cheers, and animated reactions...exactly the way I like it. Cheers to finding joy in and out of the classroom. #edtech #education #moby
