☃️ Surprise! We were expecting rain in this part of the state this morning. LOTS of late bus students walking in looking like snowmen (snow people?).

This #AI explanation fascinates me:
“For the nerds in the back that are interested in what the heck is happening right now and how these AI companies and technologies are related.”

My first draft of a slide deck: AI - A Discussion for Education. Feedback is welcome. Trying to get some good discussions happening at my school.

My email drip this week focusing on #EdTech Stocking Stuffers (1 per day for 5 days - today is day 2). I would love to move away from the Christmas theme next year, any ideas? Maybe a year end wrap up or looking towards the new year instead?

Thanks to a toot from @DavidKnuffke that I saw this morning, I tried another #AI tool - Elicit https://elicit.org/
"This workflow tries to answer your research question with information from published papers."
My example is shown here with my initial question in the red box. Wow.

I can toot this here because my boss isn't here. Today, the rest of us are meeting in front of a green screen to take JCPenney style awkward family photos (we are all in jeans & white shirts). Resulting photos will all be framed and scattered across our boss' office. Shhhh... IT Department Goals:

I purchased a box of 50 postcards titled "Troubled Birds" - I add my own nonsense:
* bird facts I see on the internet so they must be true
* fun bird jokes
* ridiculous bird facts
and then I mail them to my college daughter and her 2 friends each week.
What silly things are you doing to connect with other humans? 😆

My donation this week for @freemo are these pics of Valiente (Val) living her best life. Notice her green binky (Nerf disc) that she carries around and then naps with. She's ridiculous but makes for happy Friday viewing as one of the #CatsOfMastodon
Here's hoping your weekend is fabulous - thanks for all you do!

Teacher asks me how to increase the font size in the formula bar in Google Sheets as their eyesight needs the help. That feature is not available 😞
However, I suggest viewing formulas right in their cells as this is a spot where font size can be manipulated.
View - Show - Formulas
The keyboard shortcut to toggle this on/off is Ctrl ` (that's the tiny apostrophe-like mark that is on the same key as the tilde - it's on the top left side of your keyboard, just to the left of the number 1).

Did you know that Loom "offers qualified educators unlimited recordings and access to premium features" in their Free Screen & Video Recorder for Education?

Well, I just stumbled across a new feature where you can include a Call to Action button right on your video! This quick video shows how it works - super simple.

Today is a good #CatsOfMastodon kind of day. This is Valiente (Bengal) falling asleep with her binky (a Nerf disc) and Moose (a melanistic Bengal) giving some attitude while making biscuits with his massive claws. They run this house, I'm just part of the support team. 🐾

So many options in the QOTO preferences ❤️
Under Preferences, Other... scroll down and look at your options under QOTO FEATURES. I turned on the Show follow button on timeline and Reflect the following status on the follow button.
Go personalize your own space, it's nice to set it up like 'home'!

And now I can see GIFs in action on my feed!
Seriously, start looking around in those settings and clicking things.

THIS one change in my settings changed my screen to look more like Tweetdeck.
I can now easily follow a collection of hashtags all in one column!
Hat tip to @tonyvincent !
