I was first introduced to DBQ at a virtual conference during COVID & have had the good fortune to attend more sessions with Imali Kent from DBQ Project since then through KEDC Grants & HERO. I learned so much that I can take back to my classroom at her sessions today!

Thank you, Autumn Tackett, for your session on MagicSchool AI 💜 🪄✨! I’m most excited to help students write scripts for podcasts, setting up rooms for them to chat with historic figures, and utilizing AI to give students feedback on their writing. KEDC Grants HERO

I was amazed to learn that the first museum dedicated to a First Lady is tucked away in downtown Lexington, Kentucky near Rupp Arena. An interesting Kentuckian who saw so much tragedy in her lifetime. KEDC Grants KEDC Grants

So how is your summer break going? Mine has been fantastic! I spent the first week with an amazing professional learning community honing my craft! Quality PD that surrounds educators with like-minded and passionate educators may be the solution to burnout. KEDC Grants HERO

Finding inspiration for my classroom while on vacation was a nice bonus! The social studies fair winner being displayed at the Ponce Inlet lighthouse was really neat! What a great way to learn about local history! HERO KEDC Grants

The World Trade Center takes you back to September 11th, 2001. It felt like it was yesterday and decades ago at the same time. Seeing the names of the victims and the destruction left behind in person is unlike any experience I’ve ever had. KEDC Grants HERO

Visiting Ellis Island has been on my bucket list forever! For many years my students have used a virtual field trip to explore this amazing place! Now I can tell them about what I learned while visiting this island! KEDC Grants HERO

The United Nations is working to make our world better for everyone. What a great experience! KEDC Grants HERO

Ellis Island, Little Italy, & Chinatown could inspire so many lessons on cultural diffusion & appreciation! It was tasty to learn about, too! HERO KEDC Grants

The Statue of Liberty represents so much to Americans and the millions of immigrants that have moved to our country to flee famine, war, natural disasters, and more. The pull of the American dream and opportunity gave so many hope! KEDC Grants HERO

I’ve enjoyed teaching my students new technology skills that I’ve learned from Kelly Fischer & others through HERO! I’m so exited to continue growing as a teacher as I start a new adventure with KEDC Grants! What will I get to teach my students next?

Today I got a phone call from a second grade teacher requesting help with social studies. I have so many resources, tools, & lessons to share thanks to KEDC Grants & HERO! We’ve set up a Google drive & some time to work together with her team!

I used AI to help generate BINGO cards for a contraction lesson. Wow! This saved me so much time! I cannot wait to share this with my content team! KEDC Grants ChatGPT

My school’s amazing art teacher, Dr. Laura Stone, is using AI to help generate ideas for a mural that our Art Club is making! KEDC Grants

My resource teacher sent me a video where AI wrote wrote code to for a game to review content. I learned how to do that with KEDC Grants! AI can do so much to make learning more engaging while saving educators so much time!

So excited for tomorrow! 🙌 KEDC Grants isn’t just about opportunities for my students & school! It’s about the incredible support the entire team, cheering us on every step of the way! 💙

I’m creating bell ringers with AI to save time as I prep for a week of writing in my fifth and sixth grade classrooms. It’s like prepping with my team because AI will make suggestions that I hadn’t considered like needing a key or making it downloadable as a pdf. KEDC Grants
