Several years ago, I thought I would help out the parents of my gifted and talented students by writing about some games, toys, or books that I thought might make good purchases during the holiday season. I called the series of posts, “Gifts for the Gifted,” and I have continued to do it annually (except for 2019) every November and December. These gifts are suggestions for any child – not just those who qualify for a GT program. Sometimes I receive a free product for review, but I am not paid for these posts, and I never recommend a product that I wouldn’t buy ..read more

Okay, y’all. Prepare to be. BLOWN. AWAY.
If you saw my recent post on how to create a Connections-like game, you know that I follow Shelly Sanchez Terrell on all of her channels and she is always sharing incredible resources. She recently shared a link to a blog post by Matthew Wemyss, and I bookmarked it like I do with practically everything she shares.
Today I had a little time to go back and take a deeper look at Matthew’s post, and to actually try his suggestion. It’s an AI prompt that you can copy and paste into your own AI tool of choice (ChatGPT, Bard, Claude, etc…) to create a “Choose ..read more

Maybe the site formerly known as Twitter is circling the drain, but I’m still getting some wonderful resources from it. Case in point is a recent thread started by @kathyhen_ where she asked for more ideas for fast finishers in her class. She helpfully provided a doc that she gives her students, and then many people responded with additional suggestions.
#mtbos #iteachmath folks – I have a list of mathy/wordy game sites that I allow my students to go to if they finish a lesson early. I feel like I'm missing some. What am I missing?https://t.co/WpzhdBKGU8

I want to thank @MsABahri for sharing the link to these free Women in STEM posters on Twitter (still not calling it the other name, sorry not sorry). There are nearly 100 free downloadable posters on this site from Ingenium Canada, and I am sorry to say that most of the names are new to me. Fortunately, each poster in the series has an image as well as a caption to help us all learn more about each of these amazing people. In addition, you can go to this page for lessons that can be used with the posters, and 3 of the posters have been made into coloring sheets that you can download.
Don’t for ..read more
