    EDT116 - Parents & Teens' AI Awareness, Google Classroom Groups, Canva Teacher Work Kit, Pear Deck, Feedback Friday, and Unconditional Positive Regard
    Jan 29 2025

    In today’s episode, I kick things off with a Soapbox Moment relating to a new CommonSense Media report about the gap between the AI-awareness of teens and their parents—and what that means for us as educators. Then, we’ll explore five updates! We’ve got a game-changing differentiation feature in Google Classroom, an time-saving resource in Canva’s Teacher Work Kit, an upgrade to Pear Deck with Graded Mode, a great learning opportunity from Google, and a powerful classroom culture strategy called Feedback Friday.
