Welcome to Always Learning: Reflections, Resources & a Whole Lot of EdTech Magic ✨

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

This blog, Always Learning, was born from a shift in my role as an educator. For years, I’ve shared my love of math over on Mathsational, where I posted creative lesson ideas, games, and tech tips designed to make high school math more student-centered and joyful. But lately, my work has expanded, and so has my thinking.

As a technology ambassador, I now spend more time collaborating with teachers across grade levels and subject areas. Whether I’m helping a colleague personalize instruction with Google tools, designing a station rotation for science, or brainstorming a creative formative check in ELA, I’m constantly learning alongside other educators. And I want to document and share that learning here.

🌟 What You Can Expect

Always Learning is a space for:

✅ EdTech Tools that work across content areas
✅ PD resources I’m creating and refining
✅ 1:1 coaching insights that address real classroom problems
✅ Lesson ideas that spark creativity and engagement
✅ Reflections on what’s working and what still needs work

My goal? To reflect on my learning and to empower you with practical strategies and tools that make learning more fun, efficient, and impactful.

🔍 A Few Things I’m Currently Exploring

Here’s a sneak peek at the kinds of resources and ideas you’ll see in upcoming posts:

  • Autocrat + Google Sheets: Automating personalized certificates, reflections, and progress reports

  • Screencasts and Podcasts: Supporting student voice and self-reflection

  • AI Tools for creating quick data visualizations or drafting standards-aligned questions

  • Canva for Educators: Designing PD handouts, infographics, and student templates

  • Curating a PD Toolkit: Slide decks, walkthrough forms, and facilitation guides for tech integration

🚀 Let’s Learn Together

I’ve named this blog Always Learning because that’s truly what this journey is about. The more I work with others, the more I discover that learning never stops and the best ideas come from shared curiosity and collaboration.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d love for you to follow along. Comment and share your own ideas. I’m here not just to post, but to grow with a community of educators who believe in the power of meaningful, creative teaching.

Let’s spark some EduMagic together ✨

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming education quickly. From making lesson planning easier to customizing lessons and giving instant feedback, AI opens up exciting possibilities for teachers and students alike. However, these opportunities come with important responsibilities. Successful and ethical use of AI relies on clear rules, open communication, and a shared understanding of what AI can and cannot do. 1. Teacher Transparency: Setting the Standard for Responsible AI Use When teachers incorporate AI into creating classroom resources, transparency is essential. Students should understand how much of the content was influenced by AI and where the teacher’s expertise contributed. One way to do this is by explaining the level of AI involvement: No AI Use – Content created entirely by the teacher. Brainstorming – AI used for initial idea generation, with the teacher developing the final material. Enhancing – AI refined existing teacher-created content (e.g., rewording q...
