Sandy Matheus and Devante Simmons: Promoting Kindness Through Tech

What if a simple QR code could change the culture of a school? In this episode of Waukesha One Take, we sit down with Sandy Matheus and Devante Simmons, two elementary educators from the School District of Waukesha, who turned a simple idea into a schoolwide movement of gratitude and kindness. Using tools like Google Forms, Autocrat, QR codes, and iPads, Sandy and Devante created an easy way for students and staff to send uplifting messages to one another—celebrating kindness, recognizing effort, and spreading good news throughout their building. What started as a creative tech solution quickly became something much bigger: a culture-builder that strengthens relationships, lifts spirits, and connects school and home in meaningful ways. This conversation is a reminder that innovation in education doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, it’s about using the tools already in your hands—and a whole lot of heart—to make a lasting impact.

Kirsten Wiesneski: The Science of Using AI for Engagement

Teaching is often called an art and a science, but for Kirsten Wisneski, a high school science teacher in the School District of Waukesha, it’s also a playground for innovation. In this episode, we sit down with Kirsten to explore how she is moving beyond the AI hype to create truly transformative learning experiences. As a "notorious explorer" of educational technology, Kirsten doesn’t just use tools for the sake of novelty. She shares her "Vetting for Merit" process—ensuring every piece of tech maintains high academic rigor while making science feel accessible and alive. * Gemini Gems & Canvases: How to leverage Google’s AI to create personalized, interactive study hubs. * Blackboard AI Conversations: Strategies for using AI to facilitate deep-dive discussions and Socratic questioning. * The Rigor Balance: How to integrate AI without sacrificing student critical thinking or learning integrity. * Exploration Strategy: Be inspired by Kirsten's willingness to dig into tools to determine what they offer for her and her students. If you’ve been looking for a way to pull students more authentically into their learning—while keeping the fun and "magic" in your daily routine—this episode is your blueprint. Whether you’re an AI novice or a tech veteran, you’ll walk away with actionable ideas you can implement in your classroom tomorrow.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
