Karen is a great facilitator and mentor. She takes time to ensure you really understand and addresses any issues. Thank you Karen. Look forward to working with you more.

Lesli Grant

Karen is a key reason I am still here. Genius U’s wonderful complexity can challenge some of us. Karen’s clarity and continued mapping of key places, documents and how to navigate has found me jumping in and “inspired to find”. Lesli Grant

Helga Jensdottir

As educators, we understand that children are not one-size-fits-all learners. They embark on a journey of growth and development from the moment they are born, and it’s important for us to adapt our teaching methods to meet their evolving needs.

OpenAI has released a guide for teachers using ChatGPT. Check out the resources and shared stories for how teachers use ChatGPT in the classroom. I've used ChatGPT for lesson plans, rubrics & activities for neurodiverse learners. Saves a lot of time and all I need to do is tweak the results to suit my specific needs.

They can then engage in more meaningful conversations with other students when they come together to continue the exploration of a new topic. Read this post to find out how you can design a short instructional video.

The growth and development of the brain and its functions are fascinating. The brain development during the first six months of life is focused on motor skills and sensory processing for improving our five senses (hearing, taste, sight, smell, and touch). All of this work is setting up the brain for higher learning.
