I could use it with slides, notes to parents, just making things for the classroom etc.

We know as a team that our goal is to provide quality Tier 1 instruction and we are hoping that next year we can be even more purposeful with our ELA instruction. We have been working on using MagicSchool AI to strengthen our Benchmark lessons. We have been focusing on providing more DOK 3/4 questioning. As a team we have discussed providing writing prompts for each lesson and trying to stick with the idea that if they read about it, then we write about it.

So what: I have been able to try new activities and reduce the amount of workload on myself by using this resource.

Now what: I plan to continue to use Canva AI and additionally take what "I" have created to share with other teachers and families.
