Welcome back to a new episode of Rebel Teacher Alliance! This week we kick off at Jamie’s intro and tease a mystery “permanent sub” joining the crew soon. Fabian recaps Schools of the Future with some honest takeaways, from a sharp student-led AI panel to a sobering session on online radicalization, plus hanging with Dr. Merv and walking out with a Renaissance swag haul. Jamie brings highlights from the Vibe Shift conference, mini-reports that actually work, and why performance tasks carry real weight on state tests. In class talk, Fabian shows how Flocabulary leveled up a 47 Presidents lesson and shares a simple Lyric Lab workaround. We also play with NotebookLM’s interactive podcasts, mind maps, and new explainer videos for sub days and PD. We cap it off with “Whatcha’ been playin’...?”
