Math Medic is a free, student-centered resource hub created by veteran high school teachers that offers daily, customizable lesson plans across a range of high school mathematics courses -- from Algebra 1 to AP Calculus and Statistics. It promotes an "Experience First, Formalize Later" (EFFL) learning model, engaging students in real-world, exploratory activities before guiding them toward formal mathematical concepts and notation. With a free subscription, teachers get access to ready-to-print lessons, student-friendly guided notes, answer keys, pacing guides, and slides for instruction. Paid add-ons include a robust assessment platform for homework, quizzes, tests, and AP review materials aligned with curriculum activities. Additionally, teachers can attend in-person or online EFFL workshops to support implementation.

In the Classroom
Begin class with the "Experience First" task from a Math Medic lesson to spark curiosity and promote collaborative problem-solving. Let students explore patterns or make conjectures before introducing formal math concepts. Distribute the student-friendly guided notes provided with each lesson to keep learners engaged while promoting active participation and organized thinking during instruction. Use the editable slide decks and pacing guides to adjust lesson pace or depth based on your students' needs. These can also help scaffold concepts for struggling learners or extend challenges for advanced students. Share lesson slides or discovery tasks in advance or after class for flipped learning or catch-up. This allows students to review content at their own pace while staying aligned with classroom instruction. Turn lesson examples into group tasks where students work collaboratively to solve and present their findings, promoting mathematical communication and reasoning.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is a secure, AI-powered tool available to Microsoft 365 subscribers, supporting functions like drafting content, summarizing information, brainstorming, analyzing files, and generating visuals. It keeps data private, aligns with existing security policies, and aids educators with lesson planning, feedback, collaboration, and compliance.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (300), digital literacy (36), editing (89), summarizing (25)
In the Classroom
After collecting survey data or conducting a class experiment, students can use Excel and Copilot to summarize findings and generate graphs, demonstrating how AI supports effective data analysis and visualization. Following this, have students draft a paragraph, story, or essay and then work with Copilot to review grammar, tone, or structure, which promotes self-editing and reflective writing while reinforcing digital literacy. To further integrate Copilot, assign students a topic (e.g., climate change, a historical figure, or a math concept) and let them use the tool to create a summary. Then, have them evaluate the AI response, verify the information, and present their findings with their own enhancements.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Hume AI is a New York-based research lab and technology company that develops emotionally intelligent artificial intelligence capable of understanding and responding to human emotional cues across voice, text, image, and video. Its key tools include Octave, a context-aware, expressive text-to-speech engine; EVI, an empathic voice interface that interprets tone and timing; and Expression Measurement, which analyzes emotional signals across various media. While the platform offers a free tier for experimentation, more advanced features, such as higher-volume text-to-speech, custom voices, and full access to EVI and expression Application Programming Interfaces, are available through paid plans. This makes Hume AI a valuable option for educators interested in exploring emotion-aware technology in digital storytelling, SEL instruction, or interactive learning environments.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (300), social and emotional learning (195), text to speech (23)
In the Classroom
Have students use Hume AI's expressive text-to-speech tool (Octave) to bring their creative writing to life, experimenting with tone and emotion to match their characters' moods and intentions. Ask students to analyze emotional tone in speeches, commercials, or video clips using expression measurement tools. Let students record and analyze their own speeches to identify how effectively they convey emotion, then revise and re-record to improve delivery and emotional impact.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This 30-minute classroom video immerses middle school teachers in a real-world Grade 6-8 math lesson that actively develops algebraic thinking. It shows how the teacher prompts students to analyze patterns, articulate the relationship between input and output, and represent these ideas through diagrams, tables, and informal expressions. The session shifts attention from abstract content to classroom practices -- teachers observe how tasks are structured, how students verbalize their thinking, and how the lesson encourages the use of functions and variable reasoning. The primary goal is to help viewers identify and critique strategies that make algebraic thinking accessible, engaging, and meaningful to young adolescents.
In the Classroom
Have students design growing patterns using manipulatives (such as tiles or cubes), record the changes, and describe the rule. Then, challenge classmates to figure out the rule from the pattern. Present simple number patterns (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8...) and ask students not only to write the rule (e.g., "multiply the position by 2") but also to explain why it works. Provide students with partial input-output tables, ask them to determine the rule, and encourage multiple representations with words, equations, and graphs.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The Code Breaker "Chat" page introduces Byte, an AI-powered chatbot for K-12 classrooms. Byte does not require sign-in or collect personal data. It provides a safe and accessible space for students to explore prompt engineering, ask questions, and interact with AI. Byte is similar to a simplified ChatGPT, but made for young learners. Educator Brian Aspinall and his team at Code Breaker Inc. developed the tool. Their mission is to foster creativity, curiosity, and whole child development by safely integrating technology into learning. Byte is ideal for teachers introducing AI in class with low risk and high engagement. There are no sign-ups or privacy concerns -- just a direct way to spark curiosity and tech literacy.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (300), digital citizenship (108), digital literacy (36)
In the Classroom
Have students experiment with writing different prompts to see how Byte responds. Challenge them to refine their prompts to get clearer or more detailed answers, helping them practice precision in communication. Have students co-write a short story with Byte. They type the first few lines of a story and ask Byte to continue. Then have them edit and revise Byte's continuation to learn about structure, dialogue, and editing. Lead a class discussion on the role of AI in education and society. Have students ask Byte questions about fairness, privacy, or how AI is trained, then use those answers as a springboard for debate or written reflection.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
After reading a short story or chapter, have students use a storyboard template to illustrate key events in sequence, helping them understand the story and identify plot elements. Have students choose a character and use a storyboard to demonstrate how they change over time, including their thoughts, emotions, decisions, and turning points, with visuals and brief captions. Have students storyboard a science process (like the water cycle or photosynthesis) to visually break down complex steps using icons, labels, and text boxes.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Plan a whole class period where students rotate through different breakout challenges related to various subjects--math, ELA, science, and social studies--solving clues to "escape" each topic station. After the breakout, facilitate a class discussion or journal prompt in which students reflect on the strategies they used, the challenges they faced, and how they worked as a team. Have students design their own breakout rooms using Genially, incorporating subject content, puzzles, and story elements.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
