Welcome back to a new episode of Rebel Teacher Alliance! This week, Scott and Fabian talk about the wild sprint that is fourth quarter teaching—complete with unmotivated students, surprise PSA projects, and the eternal struggle to make gamification stick. Fabian shares how his students are creating Vox-style explainer videos (and why presenting should never be a snoozefest), while Scott reflects on students wrestling with nicotine, decision-making, and Canva. We also get into the surprisingly solid vibes of Curipod and how even quiet kids can surprise you with the right prompt. And of course, we wrap it all up in our ever-popular segment “Whatcha’ been playin’…?”
