Jonathan Wylie posted a great article about an image-editing site called Image Candy. The site includes a ton of easy-to-use tools! His post: https://jonathanwylie.com/2022/11/22/image-candy-free-online-image-editor/ #edtech #edutoot #edutooters

I pet Nova. She will turn 1 year old on New Years Eve. She loves eating anything she can find. She lives with a toddler who loves to share food with her. This Thanksgiving Nova is grateful for her loving family and for all the extra treats she gets.

@ericcurts @edutooters loved https://bouncyballs.org/ someone was just asking me for something just like that!!! Thanks

As they collaborate to make decisions about what technology to install and how to manage it, school and technology leaders must share understanding of three ideas.

First, the systems must be sufficiently secure to remain functional and reliable, but open enough to allow for the functions educators deem necessary.

Second, to accomplish secure yet flexible systems, educators and technicians must engage in an on-going process to improve technology systems.

Third, all stakeholders must recognize the complex nature of the enterprise networks in schools.

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.

Me trying to explain Home/Local/Federated to @racheltravis

"So #Mastodon is like a federation of starships...

We're on a starship with the Local folks, but we can communicate with anyone in the Federation of Starships.

Home is your private quarters where you've invited certain folks to come to a dinner party."

For the best #mobile #iOS #Mastodon experience I recommend the excellent Toot! app!

The author is catching up to the new Mastodon 4.0 features, giving them a few bucks will make it easier for them to dedicate time to this.

Ok, Mastodon…let’s try this out.

I’m still gonna stick around over on Twitter until the bitter end, but I want to try to get this new world figured out in the meantime!

Any tips…?

This afternoon, I was given a tour and demo of the brand new #VirtualReality lab at the Helen Glass Centre in the #CollegeOfNursing in the #RadyFacultyOfHealthSciences at the #UniversityOfManitoba in #Winnipeg.

They are using the #UbiSim #VR software to train #nursing students (https://ubisimvr.com/).

This is the first virtual reality lab at #umanitoba, but both the Department of #ComputerScience and the #Libraries are working on plans for the second and third VR labs! #education #metaverse

Good morning #edutooter friends. I’d love your take on this: I’m coaching six brand new teachers, all with emergency certifications. Turnover has been an issue for us for many years.(very small, so lots of preps, high needs, super rural). We’re thrilled with this group and their progress. We’re focused on building a consistent staff for our wonderful students. What are your best retention strategies? Give me everything you’ve got!
