    EDT118 Padlet TA, Pear Assessment, Quizizz, Bitly, EduShare.ing, and Talking Chips
    Feb 26 2025

    Today on the Educational Duct Tape podcast, I’ve got five edtech updates that might impact your classroom and one educational strategy that’s new to me. I’ll start with the bad news first, which is Bitly adding ads to short links (not cool, Bitly) and then get into the good news, like a new educator-made alternative to Bitly and an AI teaching assistant from Padlet. Plus, handy updates from Pear Assessment and Quizizz that could save you some serious prep time. And then that educational strategy called Talking Chips. Curious yet? Press Play!

    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.
