Good day, Vampires!

We hope you’re doing well. This week we give you a mixed bag of suggestions as we keep our eyes on the prize as the year starts to wind down. 

Thanks to the 12 heroes (!!!) who responded to our survey this past week, we learned about awesome, innovative practices assisting people and enhancing learning around school. We would love to get a wider picture. 

Help us out! It shouldn’t take you more a minute or two:  A Super Short Survey

In this Edition:
  • 1:1 Professional Learning: Drive Spring Cleaning 
  • A PBL Course Offer
  • Turnitin Vs. Ai Part 2 – An Experiment 
  • Summer Bytes

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

Sessions: Drive Spring Cleaning

Are you:
  • A Learning Leader who knows your team needs to clean up your Shared Drive?
  • A soon-to-be departing teacher who needs to migrate content to Shared Drive and take some content with you?
  • Someone who feels like their Drive needs some TLC?
Once again, we are offering some 1:1 time to sit down and work on any of these items together. 

  Pick an appointment slot to meet with us. 

If there is currently not a time that works for you, just reach out to us and we will find some individual time that fits into your schedule. 

A 5-hour course that could interest you:

ISTE – Leading Project-Based Learning With Technology

Are you familiar with Project-Based Learning (PBL) and looking to integrate technology, familiar with technology looking for an entry point into PBL, or wanting to know more about both PBL and technology integration? If so, this course is a great way to arrive at your own response to the driving question, “How can I maximize the benefits of PBL by effectively integrating digital tools?” 

AI – Experiment #2 Turnitin Vs. ChatGpt (Secondary)

A few weeks ago we ran a feature on the AI-checker within Turnitin.

This week we run a head-to-head contest of: angelic, original student work vs. devious ChatGPT-generated work.

Watch the short video below to find out what happened. 

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING — ⛱️ SUMMER BYTES

It’s almost that time again… Summer. Back in October, Sarah gave us a nice segment about MyMaps and the ability to customize Google Maps. Have a look at the brief video to get inspired to delve into your summer plans; pinpoint your destinations, places of interest, cafes, then share them with your travel buddies. Log into the same Google account on your phone and use your trusty map while you’re out and about.

SHORTCUT

Google Chat (in Gmail) is indispensable for us at AISB, but maybe the sound that you’ve got a message is less inviting than it use to be ‍♂️. Follow the steps below to change the notification sound. Music Box, Snappy, or maybe Calm?
