We were blown away by the energy at our Spring Instructional Technology Content Leadership learning session! With 80+ dedicated educators in the room, the collaboration was next-level. From exploring new digital tools to sharing best practices for the classroom, these leaders are ready to take student learning and instructional planning to the next level.

A huge thank you to every teachers who joined us. We are so proud of this community of learners for their passion, curiosity, and commitment to excellence.

Second graders at Patterson Elementary didn’t just read about Clara Barton—they shared their thoughts like historians! Using Seesaw’s microphone, students recorded their opinions and practiced clearly explaining their thinking in their own voices.

During a recent campus training, teachers explored how to use an interactive game-based tool to boost student engagement, check for understanding in real time, and make practice feel fun and meaningful.

Adobe Express Animate a Character gives students a fun, low-pressure way to practice their oral language skills by bringing their voices to life through animation. As students record dialogue, retell stories, explain their thinking, or present ideas, their character moves and speaks with them—building confidence, fluency, pronunciation, and expression. It’s a creative way to help every learner find their voice while practicing speaking in an engaging, supportive environment.

Here are some ready to go prompts to try with your students.

🎤 Academic / content-focused

• “Explain how you solved today’s math problem step-by-step.”

• “Teach a younger student what you learned about ___ today.”

• “Summarize this chapter or article in your own words.”

• “Describe the most important cause and effect from our lesson on ___.”

• “Explain the difference between ___ and ___.”

📚 ELA-focused

• “Retell the story from the point of view of one character.”

• “Share your opinion about the main character and support it with evidence.”

• “Give a 60-second book talk to convince someone to read your book.”

• “Describe the theme and explain how the author shows it.”

💡 Reflection & voice (great for confidence building)

• “What strategy helped you most today and why?”

• “What was challenging and how did you work through it?”

• “If you could give advice to next year’s students, what would you say?”

🎭 Fun & creative (kids LOVE these)

• “Become a historical figure and tell us about your life.”

• “Pretend you’re a scientist explaining your experiment on the news.”

• “Be a weather reporter describing today’s forecast using science vocabulary.”

• “Turn into a vocabulary word and explain what you mean!”

⭐ Our favorite all-purpose prompt

“Use your character to teach the class something you learned today. Explain it clearly and include at least two key vocabulary words.”
