TrafficLiteEdu: How to Clearly Define AI Use in Schools - HoET268
<p>AI is everywhere in education—but clarity isn’t.</p><p>I’m joined by Derek Tranchina, creator of <strong><a href="trafficliteedu.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TrafficLiteEdu</a></strong>, to unpack one of the biggest challenges schools are facing right now: not whether to use AI, but how to use it well. The real issue isn’t the tools—it’s the confusion around expectations, boundaries, and purpose.</p><p>Derek shares how the TrafficLiteEdu framework helps schools bring clarity to AI use through a simple, practical approach—giving educators and students a shared language for what’s acceptable, what’s not, and what falls somewhere in between.</p><p>If your school is struggling with mixed messages, inconsistent policies, or hesitation around AI, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters.</p><p>Because in the end, it’s not about banning or embracing AI—it’s about being clear.</p>

The 2026 "Level Up" – 6 Tools to Transform Your Practice - HoET266
<p>Kicking off 2026, let's cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters: edtech tools that can genuinely move the needle for educators.

It’s about student agency. When students create, design, build, and solve real problems, the engagement gap begins to close.</p><h2>Six Tools to Level Up in 2026</h2><h3>#1 Mote — Rethinking Feedback</h3><p>Feedback is essential but time-consuming. <strong>Mote</strong> allows educators to leave quick voice comments directly inside Google Docs, Slides, and LMS platforms.</p><p>Why it matters:</p><ol><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Faster than typing</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>More personal and human</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Accessible through audio + transcription</li></ol><br/><p><strong>Level-Up Question:</strong></p><p>Where in your workflow could your voice be more effective than your keyboard?</p><h3>#2 FigJam — Making Thinking Visible</h3><p><strong>FigJam</strong> is a collaborative digital whiteboard that turns learning into an active, visible process.</p><p>Use it to:</p><ol><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Brainstorm and organize ideas</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Capture student thinking in real time</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Support collaboration for both synchronous and asynchronous work</li></ol><br/><p><strong>Level-Up Question:</strong></p><p>How often do students visually share their thinking before submitting a final product?</p><h3>#3 Canva — Creativity That Communicates</h3><p>Canva has evolved into a full creation and communication platform, allowing students to demonstrate learning visually and professionally.</p><p>Classroom possibilities include:</p><ol><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Infographics and explainer visuals</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Digital portfolios</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Ethical media creation and storytelling</li></ol><br/><p><strong>Level-Up Question:</strong></p><p>Are students creating content — or just consuming it?</p><h3>#4 Curipod, Pear Deck & Nearpod — Real-Time Engagement</h3><p>These tools transform traditional presentations into interactive learning experiences through polls, questions, and formative checks.</p><p>Why they work:</p><ol><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Immediate insight into student understanding</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>No extra grading</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Increased accountability without pressure</li></ol><br/><p><strong>Level-Up Question:</strong></p><p>How often do you
