World Snorkl Day 2025 - Recorded Videos

I recently had the privilege of presenting a session for "World Snorkl Day". This was a free live streamed PD event with six hours of awesome content from amazing educators presenting a wide range of sessions to help you learn, explore, and apply Snorkl even better.

If you are not familiar with it, Snorkl was one the featured AI tools in my "Cool Tools 2023" series. For more details you can read that original blog post and watch my 12-minute tutorial video all about the tool.

This year I got to provide the closing session on "Level Up All Learners with Snorkl" where we did a deep dive into how Snorkl can support all students with feedback, personalized learning, accessibility, and more. 

See below for the 30-minute recording of my session, as well as links to all the other recorded sessions from the event.
