What are SMOOTHIES? Short Multimodal Online Opportunities To Help Interested Educators Succeed

These are live (but recorded) online 30 minute informal webinar episodes with wide ranging topics and ideas on software, hardware and processes you can use in the classroom. We focus on the tools the department pays for eg Microsoft and Adobe. SMOOTHIES cover much more than those two vendors’ products and they are topical, informative, friendly and free.

To see what has been covered in the last two years, click on Baby Count below… Includes PowerPoints, links to resources and videos. Not all are available to external (non-NTSchools) folks, not because there is anything secret, but because I probably haven’t adjusted permissions. Feel free to reach out if something appears blocked that you want to view.

SMOOTHIES are recorded and links to the topics and PowerPoint decks can be found at https://smoothies.learnshifting.com

Recordings are available from within the CLoverTeams “Awesome Smoothies” Channel – it is easier⁠ if you join CLoverTeams so you can receive both invitations to SMOOTHIES and easy access to the recordings. Recordings expire 90 days after each episode and generally the topic may be out of date by that time anyhow.

If you attend in person, I do provide a PD certificate including AITSL standards for the session and duration. (This can be checked against meeting attendance and topic recordings should folks wish to audit. (For NT Schools folks only)

The AI Journal

This work is not my own. I have gathered the content from sources much smarter than me. This content focusses on the opportunities and challenges in our education system. Scroll through this gathering of information that I add to each month. I am genuinely more excited than fearful of what this offers to increase the learning of our students while offloading some of the admin tasks that sometimes reduce the number of “Aha” moments we try to create with our kids.
