When students let AI do all the thinking, they skip the mental reps that build real understanding. The tool isn’t the problem—how it’s used is. #AIinEducation #Learning

Oral assessments turn unfinished classwork into a chance to explain, question, and truly understand. The best evidence of learning may come from a conversation—not just a completed test. #Teaching #Education

Some students don’t need another prompt—they need silence. Give them time to think, and the answer may come together perfectly. #Teaching #Education

AI can make schoolwork easier—but not necessarily learning. Oral assessments reveal who understands the material and who took the shortcut. The real question isn’t whether students used AI; it’s whether they learned. #Education #AI

AI becomes a shortcut when students don’t have to explain their thinking. Put the laptops away, discuss the problem, and ask them to defend every line of code. The learning shows up in the conversation. #Education #AIinEducation

The right answer can hide a gap in understanding. Students may plug numbers into an equation and get it right without grasping the physics—something oral exams can reveal. #PhysicsEducation #Teaching

A teacher, @PeterPaccone , asked me some hard questions about Oral Assessments - mostly logistics. Here are my honest answers: Keep in mind that I am doing this more intentionally because of AI. reacheverystudent.com/p/do-o…

Getting the right answer isn’t the same as understanding why it’s right. The oral assessment revealed misconceptions that written work alone had missed—and showed what needed reteaching. #Teaching #Education

The biggest mistake teachers make with AI? Vicki Davis (@coolcatteacher) says: teaching like it doesn't exist. Her rule instead: if you turn it in, be ready to defend it out loud. New episode: reacheverystudent.com/p/if-y…

This week I was stretched thin - and yet in the midst of a cray cray week, there were deeply human moments that tell me that what I am doing makes a difference. Teachers - what you do matters! reacheverystudent.com/p/stre… #teachers #ReachEveryStudent

Everybody can write a perfect email now. So where are deals actually being lost? The moment someone has to look up and have a real conversation, says @DonWettrick Being human, even a little flawed, is now a real advantage. New episode: reacheverystudent.com/p/why-… #edutwitter

I'm looking forward to sharing at this conference about how to effectively run Oral Assessments in the age of #AI. Come see me this November.

AI practice is transforming oral assessments. Students are using tools like Flint K-12 to simulate exam questions, leading to impressive preparation and performance. It's not just about answering, it's about being ready. #EdTech #AIinEducation

Students are acing oral assessments, and the Mastery Flip is taking off in Argentina! Teachers are now leading the Mastery Flip in Spanish. This week, we're diving into what makes these initiatives so successful. #Education #MasteryFlip

Oral Assessments are working - and this week my students have come to expect it and they came prepared. It was amazing! #edtech #AI #AIinEd #ReachEveryStudent reacheverystudent.com/p/my-s… #edutwitter

I had a chance to sit down with Harvard professor Tony Wagner, Author of Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the World and The Global Achievement Gap. He has 7 survival skills- he gave me an 8th for the age of AI #AI #AIinEd reacheverystudent.com/p/tony…

Big step for #MasteryFlip: our first fully Spanish-language self-paced course, "Mastery Flip: una introducción al aprendizaje para el dominio," just launched with Plataforma Guacurarí — free for teachers across Latin America. Grateful for this partnership and excited to see where it goes. 👉 guacurari.com/autoasistidos/…

Teaching can be unpredictable! In one class, students who used AI practice tools aced their Vivas with minimal prodding. In another, deeper questions stumped honors physics students. Flexibility is key! #TeachingTips #EdTech #Physics

Is analog education the secret weapon for better test scores? This video explores the Mastery Flip model and its surprising impact. Have you seen this in action? #EdTech #Learning #Education

Planning to integrate oral assessments into summative evaluations? I just completed my first, and I'm sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. Tune in for the unfiltered experience. #EdTech #Assessment #Teaching
