Squatter 35 — Hallomeme 2.0 👻

 Catching Up with The Squatter (Part 3) Finally, we’re caught up with Squatter 35: Hallomeme 2.0 — a Halloween special full of meme-based humor with real teaching hacks underneath. From Drake’s grading face-off to Surprised Pikachu discovering NotebookLM, every meme ties back to making AI + AVID work for teachers. This one might be the most fun to date — a reminder that sometimes the best PD fits on a bathroom wall and makes you laugh while you learn. 📄 Download Squatter 35 (PDF) Which meme in this issue nailed your exact teacher life experience?

Squatter 34 — The Return of the Squat 💪

 Catching Up with The Squatter (Part 2) Next in the catch-up series is Squatter 34: Return of the Squat . This one takes a movie-themed approach to Chromebook use in the classroom. It’s a lighthearted but practical look at how to keep Chromebooks from being the villain in your lesson — instead turning them into the supporting character that helps everything run smoothly. Think of it as your director’s cut for classroom tech management. 📄 Download Squatter 34 (PDF) If Chromebook use in your class was a movie genre, what would it be — comedy, action, or horror?

Squatter 33 — Prompt Engineering 🎯

 Catching Up with The Squatter (Part 1) I’ll admit it — I’ve fallen a little behind posting Squatters here. They’ve still been popping up on campus, but not always making their way online. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be dropping one Squatter per week until we’re caught up. First up is Squatter 33: Prompt Engineering . This edition digs into the idea that AI is only as good as the questions we ask it. Better prompts = better outputs. Inside are teacher-friendly examples of how to craft prompts that save you time while still giving you usable results. 📄 Download Squatter 33 (PDF) What’s one classroom task you’d like to try writing a “perfect prompt” for?
