Visual vocabulary brings learning to life! 🎨 This week's #FeatureTeacherFriday, Mrs. Hurst, had her 5th graders use #Freeform to visualize their @HMHCo Greek Root Word Study. Built-in shapes & drawings helped students show a deeper understanding of word meanings! #RISDDreamOn

🚨Save the Date! 2027–28 Enrollment and Magnet Choice Programs Applications Open November 1 🗓️
✅ Nov. 1 - Applications to all magnet programs, Dual Language choice programs, new to RISD enrollment and intradistrict and interdistrict transfers open.
☑️ Feb. 23 - General enrollment for returning RISD students.
As part of the adjusted enrollment timeline presented to the Board of Trustees, RISD is expanding opportunities for families by opening applications earlier than in previous years. These changes give families more time to explore student choice options and find programs that align with their children’s passions, learning styles and future goals.
Digital Citizenship Week is wrapping up, but these conversations don’t stop here! 💙 Keep talking about kindness, standing up to cyber bullying, and creating safe online spaces all year long. #RISDDreamOn
AI literacy is new territory, but using AI with students starts with open conversations. Before diving in, teach kids how AI works, its limits, and how to use it responsibly & ethically. #RISDDreamOn
Digital footprint habits aren’t built in one lesson. 🐾They grow through quick, everyday conversations. Remind students that online actions last, so think before posting and act with respect. #RISDDreamOn
Today #RISDAIM dug into all things audio! 🎙️We explored Tech by Design- everything from simple audio reflection in voice memos to complex audio production in #GarageBand! We loved the energy in the room as teachers collaborated & brainstormed what they’ll take back! #RISDDreamOn
Another important Digital Citizenship skill is evaluating online sources! Students need critical thinking skills to navigate media 🔍! Teaching about source evaluation helps kids spot bias, uncover purpose, & find factual answers. #RISDDreamOn
Teaching data privacy & security isn’t just a lesson - it’s an essential life skill. Help students build safe habits, privacy awareness & cybersecurity skills to help them navigate the online world safely. Follow along as we share tips for Digital Citizenship week! #RISDDreamOn
On #FeatureTeacherFriday, modern tech meets ancient history! 🏛️🤖 Swipe to see how @wcmikesell 's students at @bhsstem used @getschoolai to interview a historical figure to create timelines & hand-drawn shadow diagrams to learn how he measured Earth’s circumference. #RISDDreamOn

Today our students were busy multiplying decimals using models! They created time-lapse videos to show their work and shared them with their classmates. It was so fun watching them show off what they learned and explain their thinking in their own way! @RISDmath @RISDiTeam
