Learn how to personalize learning using technology! Utah teachers have a large amount of technology to explore and use in their classrooms. In this episode of the PCBL + Technology webinar series, learn how to utilize Canvas to support personalized, competency-based learning in your classroom.
The PDF contains 20 half-sheet flashcards on a variety of topics including adding closed captioning, dictation tools, support for students with dyslexia, general accessibility features, hotkeys, and some Google extensions for accessibility.
This episode just came out at the tail end of September and covers a lot of great updates, a new series on Chromebooks and ChromeOS, and Google's new standalone Read Along site for our younger students.
Google Takeout is a lesser known tool that helps users migrate their data from one Google account to another. In this great one-page infographic from Google Trainer Brandy Nichols, she walks users through how to use Google Takeout and move your data to a new account.
This video introduces what you can learn by using the Gale Reference Library in Utah's Online Library.

The Gale Reference Collection are research databases that reside in Utah's Online Library. These resources are free to all Public Utah Schools. These resources are free to all Public Utah Schools. These resources are divided into three grade categories within the Online Library. Each grade group has one or more research database. There is a separate LTI for each resource in the Online Library. The Canvas Admin can install this LTI at the Canvas Instance Level or or a Sub Account Level. The LTI makes it much easier for teachers to share content within Canvas, Including news articles, magazines, and academic journals.

Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT are already having a significant impact on education. These tools are posing considerable challenges around assessment and academic integrity, but also present opportunities, such as saving staff time by helping with the creation of learning materials or presenting students with new tools to enhance the way they work.
The impact of generative AI is being felt far beyond education, and it is already starting to change the way we work. This presents more challenges and opportunities, in making sure education prepares students for an AI-augmented workplace, and that assessments are authentic yet robust.
In this course, you’ll learn about generative AI, which is a type of AI that creates new content, such as text, images, or other media. You’ll explore how to use generative AI tools to assist your teaching practice by saving time on everyday tasks, personalizing instruction to meet student needs, and enhancing lessons and activities in creative ways. Gemini and ChatGPT are examples of generative AI tools that are used with conversational prompts; in other words, you ask the AI tool for something, and it responds to your request. Throughout this course, you’ll discover proven strategies for working with AI tools and practice using these tools to plan and update lessons, prepare instructional materials, manage behind-the-scenes administrative tasks, and lots more!
Generative AI can mimic — but not replace — human intelligence. Learn how it can help you take your creativity to new places.
The emergence of transformer architectures in 2017 triggered a breakthrough in machine learning that today lets anyone create computer-generated essays, stories, pictures, music, videos, and programs from high-level prompts in natural language, all without the need to code. That has stimulated fervent discussion among educators about the implications of generative AI systems for curricula and teaching methods across a broad range of subjects. It has also raised questions of how to understand both these systems and the at times overstated claims made for them. This class will introduce the foundations of generative AI technology, and participants will explore new opportunities it enables for K–12 education. It will also describe and explore how an analytical frame of mind can help make clear the core issues underlying both the successes and failures of these systems. Much of the work will be project-based, involving implementing innovative teaching and learning tools and testing these with K–12 students and teachers.
These lessons are intended as an introduction to Genius Hour for younger students in the elementary grades. It focuses on students' interests and/or hobbies they wish to explore, developing research questions appropriate for their topic, and an introduction to teaching research using digital databases and other resources.
This unit plan gives an outline for introducing Genius Hour to your students. It was developed for a third grade class, but can be adapted for any grade level.
This resource gives a description of how Genius Hour could be implemented into the lower elementary grade K-2. It gives ISTE standards, mini-lesson for helping students choose a topic and complete their research. It has links for an exit ticket and rubric that can be used for lower elementary students. It also contains a reflection on what I have learned about Genius Hour in the Classroom.Resource Photo: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/
