Cache and Carry - My Week In International Education - Episode 2
10m · PublishedI discuss various ed tech tools and practices that I am using, such as Storybird, a platform that helps students create captivating stories. I also mention the use of thinking prompts to engage teachers and stimulate discussions. I highlight the importance of setting approach goals and being in the right state of mind when setting goals. I suggest strategies like building emergency reserves, shortening goal timelines, and leveraging milestone moments for fresh starts. Additionally, I reflect on the concept of temptation bundling to make unpleasant tasks more enjoyable.
Cache and Carry - My Week In International Education - Episode 1
5m · PublishedI'll be discussing the ed-tech I'm testing, teaching practices I'm trying, YouTube videos I'm watching, quotes I'm pondering, things I've learned, and the "string" I'm pulling. This week, I tried poe.com, an AI chatbot that allows conversation with four different chatbots. For teaching, I experimented with TAG feedback, which stands for Tell me something you like, Ask me a question, and Give me a positive suggestion to improve my work. I've been watching Andrew Huberman's YouTube video on the 5 pillars of health and performance, and pondering the quotes "not wasting time on nonsense" and "living a simple life." Through my experiences, I've learned that change is necessary. Finally, I'm pulling the "string" of AI and considering its long-term impacts.
