My 6th-ers say some weird stuff in class. So I wrote down the weirdest, most unhinged things they’ve said recently and used #SunoAI to turn them into a gospel song. Shout out to #CanvaEdu for making it so easy to create a slide deck and make it a video! Check it out:

A5: I find a day to invite them to have lunch with me, just us. I let them lead the conversation & chime in where appropriate. Going that extra mile has always helped build a stronger connection! #T2Tchat #EduSky #EduChat

A2: From minute 1 of day 1, I do my best to show my students that I respect them, am a safe person, and my classroom is a safe space. Over the years, I have had several students come out to me, reach out for help, and more. That is more important to me than any test score. #T2Tchat #EduSky #EduChat

A3: By exposing all students to or teaching game dev skills, so that they can grow up to be successful in the gaming industry. I always try to remind educators that around 40% of the jobs our current students will have don't exist yet. So we need to expose them to all the tech we can! #LevelUpEDU
