    Being an educational influencer involves leveraging social media platforms to share knowledge, resources, and inspiration.

Educational influencers often collaborate with other educators, attend relevant events, and stay updated on the latest teaching trends.

  • SMILEFactor E21: End of year ideas

    The weather is getting nicer, and the school year is ending. It's hard for students to stay focused, and sometimes, it's even more challenging for educators.

    We cram in field trips and awards ceremonies after testing, which can give the impression that "teaching is done." We understand this time of year can be hectic, exhausting, and stressful for teachers and school leaders so we dive into ideas to stay creative and innovative at the end of the year.
