Each week I keep an eye out for the latest edtech resources through blogs, social media, podcasts, videos, user groups, and more. I then try to reshare these resources in many ways.
One way I share these is here on the blog in these "EdTech Links of the Week" posts. See below to explore the latest batch of resources, and be sure to share with others who may benefit.
If you want to make sure you don't miss new resources, you can:

This week I have 10 resources from around the Internet and 2 resources from my blog.
🏆 Top 10 Components of the Perfect AI PromptResource Link
I recently posted a new "AI Prompting Guide for Educators". It covers my top 10 components for building the best AI prompts, along with details, reasons, and examples for each. Beyond that I also added in some additional prompt engineering tips, techniques & resources.
You can access the resources as a detailed blog post or resource doc or slideshow.


✨ MagicSchool AI Rooms for Student LearningResource Link
Last week I had the pleasure to present a booth session at FETC on how to use MagicSchool with students. If you are not familiar with the student end of MagicSchool, here are the basics:

  • Educators can create school-safe student-friendly "rooms" with customized AI chatbots that students can interact with.
  • These can include chatbots for writing feedback, idea generation, tutoring, sentence starters, character chats, and many more.
  • And MagicSchool records everything typed by the student and the AI so you can review it and learn how best to support your learners.

The session was recorded so you can view the entire 25-minute video and access all the resources at the link above.


🧰 FETC Resources
Although I did a lot of presentations at FETC, I also tried to chat with other attendees and vendors to see what new things I could learn. Below are resources and tools I heard about while at FETC and plan to explore more in the coming weeks. Some of these might end up getting a deep dive in a future newsletter, but for now feel free to check these out and let me know your thoughts.

  • Short Answer - Engage students with bite sized, in-class, gamified writing activities for any subject. Students respond to your writing prompt, award points to each other through anonymous peer feedback, and reflect on feedback and engage in meaningful conversations about their writing.
  • Thinkverse - K-12 math learning platform with powerful AI tutors that provides personalized, in-the-moment mathematics support for students. Supports any math question type, provides multi-language support, and gives real-time AI insights and recommendations for educators.

The AI can view and understand the content on the whiteboard, and update the whiteboard with mathematical graphs and AI-generated visuals. Teachers can view the history of all whiteboard interactions.
  • Magna Education - This AI platform helps teachers by creating and grading AP assessments in seconds and providing real-time actionable feedback. It also offers students personalized study resources, comprehensive exam practice, and immediate feedback.
