🌍 The FIELD Guide for social studies

For years, social studies classrooms have been the site of long lectures and tons of memorized facts.

It doesn’t have to be that way!

Social studies teachers Joe Schmidt and Glenn Wiebe have created a method they’ve used to engage students in social studies that you can use, too:

• F is for Foundational Evidence: Go Beyond the Textbook

• I is for Inquiry: Unleash Student Curiosity

• E is for EdTech: Power Up Learning

• LD is for Learning Design: Connect the Pieces

💡 THE BIG IDEA 💡

🤖 10 ways to co-teach with AI

As a teacher in a classroom with dozens of students, there’s only so much you can do in a day …

• Only so many questions you can answer

• Only so much face-to-face support you can give

• Only so many minutes to give individual follow-up to students

Sometimes, we just don’t know the answers to our students’ questions.

And it’s hard to get the perspective of an objective third party on how we could teach differently next time.

Could you use the help of an AI assistant — an intelligent co-teacher to provide you with ideas, teaching content, questions, or prompts in the moment?

• or a conversation partner for a new language?

• or a partner to facilitate small group discussions?

• or some help making content relevant or entertaining?

In today’s new post — 10 ways to co-teach with AI …

• you’ll meet M2, a new tablet device from Swivl that can act as your intelligent co-teacher

• you’ll see how you can get just-in-time teaching support from AI (whether you have M2 or not)

• you’ll find copy-and-use AI prompts to get teaching support

Want to get M2 for your classroom, school, or district? You can get a full year’s M2 subscription for free with this referral code: M2DT2025

🎁 BONUS: Want to try M2 in your classroom for free?

Sign up to participate in the M2 Spring Tour, where we’ll be sending an M2 device to lucky teachers (and classrooms) who want to take M2 for a spin.
