📺 Have you run into TKSST’s Teaching Resources? While researching videos for the site, I sometimes happen upon useful PDFs, activities, and teaching resources. When they're particularly helpful, I link to them at the bottom of articles. You can find them tagged in the collection.

🌇 This week’s MoMA video is a great introduction to an art project: students can reimagine their neighborhoods through collage using magazines, colored paper, and art supplies. Encourage them to include cultural elements, personal interests, community needs, gathering places, and even futuristic details that don’t yet exist.

✅ New from Common Sense Media: Free K-8 Digital Literacy & Well-Being Curriculum with over 140 lessons on AI literacy, cyberbullying, screen time, and more—right on time for Digital Citizenship Week, October 20th–24th.
