STEM CHALLENGE: Design a Weather-Responsive Structure YouTube video by Meg Alfano

Teachers, I have a new video up on my YouTube channel that is perfect for getting kids thinking about engineers and how they can be inspired by nature to create structures

Did You Know... Flour is Flammable? YouTube video by LearnOUThere

On the 🇨🇦 prairies, we had grain elevators (tall wooden buildings that held grain before it was transported by train around the country and beyond)

... there is only one problem. As it turns out, flour is super flammable... Isn't it?

Where are my #NCTCA2025 teachers at?!

If you want to play around with #Canva's AI, Audio and Animation tools or @quizizz.bsky.social and it's incredible #AI capabilities for differentiation, come find me tomorrow at the Westin!

Genius

Yes, educators. But downloading the audio could provide choice for kids too.

My friend @knikole.bsky.social just mentioned something similar for her weekly admin newsletter she sends to her campus. Read the newsletter or (after uploading it to NotebookLM) listen to the audio summary.

I just tried out that feature today and it is definitely handy!

I actually was doing this the other day to find similarities and differences between two docs

That's smart, and offers some great options for educators (I'm assuming it's educators?) who are attending your sessions.

Oh my goodness! Yes 👏🏼

I love that!! So helpful.

Who has used #NotebookLM and what's your favorite feature?! I'm loving the briefing doc and the chat

This is definitely "iguanas falling out of trees" territory... 🥶

Love this!!! Have you ever tracked down a tardigrade?

We had a mission to do this in my 8th grade class after learning about unicellular and multicellular organisms, but were unsuccessful 👎🏼

Microscopes of actual stuff > textbooks and worksheets and videos every time 👏🏼👏🏼.

*I know that there is a time and place for textbooks, worksheets and videos. It's just not EVERY time 😉*

I Can Do WHAT With Red Cabbage Juice?! YouTube video by LearnOUThere

DYK red cabbage has a pigment called anthocyanin, which causes it to change color in the presence of acids and bases?

🥬 juice + PH lessons are common But have you ever thought about how this could be used or expanded to our environment or our lives? 🤯
