I used to think that grouping students required a degree in psychology: “So-and-so can’t sit next to this person… these two just talk and don’t get anything done… this student’s a leader, but that one will take over the group…” Sound familiar? Enter Grouper.School! This handy tool lets you set up your class, tag students with traits (like “leader”), note who shouldn’t be grouped together, and voilà...your groups are created for you. You can shuffle and regroup with ease, making it perfect for Kagan groups or any quick activity. No more guessing or endless rearranging, just smooth, stress-free group work.

AI in Action: Helping Students Play Nice with Technology
AI in Action: Helping Students Play Nice with Technology
Students are already using AI, whether we want them to or not. As educators, it’s our responsibility to help them use it ethically and responsibly in their learning. Many teachers and districts now ask students to declare their AI use and follow clear AI guidelines. This often includes identifying if and how AI was used in a project, as well as understanding what level of AI use is acceptable for a given assignment.
To make this easier, here are some practical examples you can adapt and add to your own assignments to ensure students use AI appropriately and transparently.
