About this episode

Welcome to Saturday Morning Teacher Talk, airing LIVE on YouTube every Saturday morning at 8:30 Pacific and 11:30! Join the conversation and add your comments to the broadcast.

On X This Week:

0:45 - Where are YOU on the Teacher Hierarchy of Needs right now? (Dr. Brad Johnson)

3:33 - Tony Vincent shows off the new Quizizz AI feature that will automatically generate quizzes based on any selected YouTube video, URL, PDF, PPT, or text prompt.

6:24 - Tony Vincent also shares an exciting feature coming to Google Slides collaborations: live pointers! (Partners can see exactly where their partners are working on the slide.)

8:01 - Assessment expert Tom Schimmer makes the point that pre-assessment as an advanced version of what has yet to be taught is pointless.

10:39 - Adam Grant observes that schools tend to favor the fastest sprinters (thinking of timed tests), but life functions more like a marathon that rewards learners who ask the right questions.

11:51 - Do you run out of time to finish your lessons? Marcus Luther encourages us to take a deep breath and leave it for the next class - everything is going to be just fine.

13:41 - A fun test for teachers: How many of these student words do you recognize?
