🎉 Padlet Sandbox recently got louder (and flashier).
✨ Add 6 visual + 181 sound effects to objects—🎊 🎆 👏 … even 🐐 bleats.
And it's only in play mode, so editing stays calm, while play mode can get wild.

🧑🔧 @novakeducation.bsky.social nails MTSS with a car care metaphor: strong Tier 1 = oil changes that can prevent or limit Tier 2 or 3. Love the reminder that universal screening is part of Tier 1—and that all learners keep access to it. Must-read for educators to understand what #MTSS is.

🪄 Assigned a Google Doc or Slides file and forgot something?
✨ Magic Exercise Book lets you add pages after assigning in Google Classroom.
No more copy-pasting into each file.
No student data collected, either.

🤖 Gemini for Education: Free vs. Pro
Free version = Canvas, Gems, Live Chat, + basic Deep Research
Pro = expanded limits, 1500pg uploads, NotebookLM, + Gmail/Docs AI
Still free for all EDU accounts—upgrade optional.
Which route is your school taking?

🚫 Some Google tools disappeared from student accounts in the spring.
🧭 Translate, Maps, Earth, Arts & Culture, and more now require parent permission.
✅ Docs, Slides, Drive, and Classroom are still fine.
