Yowza! It's completely unrelated. I promise ๐Ÿ˜‚. But I must confess, I'm still a bit confused. Where exactly is that "AI Overview" posted and who is 404 Media and why are they reporting on it? I did some research too, but it's still unclear.

Sounds like a great conference. I won't be there, but I know @vwoelders.bsky.social will be. Happy learning! Excited to hear how it goes.

Heya #edusky. If you haven't seen this free course yet, it's definitely worth checking out. Definitely share it with your colleagues who are reluctant to embrace #aiedu.

About a year ago I started a new YouTube channel for #GoogleEDU admins. This channel has lots of videos on how to use the #AdminConsole to manage your users and devices.

My latest video will walk you through the process of setting up a "dirty word" list for #Gmail: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N4z...

Appreciate your work, John! I only dabble in Google Admin but often find myself at your videos when I need help. Thank you!

Microsoft Forms

I was inspired by @brianbilston.bsky.social's poem "An Invention of Collective Nouns" and asked my grade 12s to invent some of their own. Which one do you think is best? forms.office.com/pages/respon...
And after you vote, what collective noun would you coin?

Too bad I didn't ever put that much effort into English when I was in high school! ๐Ÿ˜‚. Thanks for the inspiration.

What a great assignment! I voted! And then spent waaaay too long coming up with my own:

#EduSky is a synagogue of pedagogues.

I even went into the etymology of the word: The term synagogue is of Greek origin (synagein, โ€œto bring togetherโ€) and means โ€œa place of assembly.โ€
