How are you teaching students to interpret, create, and use visual content for communication and learning? In this blog entry, you will get some suggestions on how to accomplish that with Adobe Express. #EduSky mglinks.org/2024/11/29/e...

Do any of my #edusky #edtech friends have a K12 AI district policy in place? If you do, would you share it with me? I am wanting to take a proactive approach to AI integration but need some insight on best approaches for integration. Thanks in advance!

Those using Chromebooks may be excited to learn that ChromeOS v130 allows you to mirror/extend your desktop across multiple screens. To allow this function, go to chrome://flags/#exclude-display-in-mirror-mode Toggle on the feature in the "Display" section of settings. #edutech #edusky

Thanks @alicekeeler.com for this new feature post. I added options for New Incognito Window, Delete Browsing Data, and Developer Tools. These shortcuts do make it easier to access options. #edusky #edtechchat

I received an email alert this morning regarding BlueSky from K12 Six. Please very cautious of potentials scams! There has been a large influx of scams being posted now that this resource's popularity has exploded. #edusky

Thank you mslippy.bsky.social for this method of creating a column based on the hashtag. I was part way there but the list of usernames dropping down had me confused. #edusky #whyeducatorsareidealresources

Work has been busy. My wife and daughter were both coaching in their volleyball state matches. The team my wife assists won state for 3rd straight year. Oldest son had a good fall pitching in college. 11yo son wrapped up fall ball and football. Now hooping.

I have not taken a serious amount of time to truly evaluate. Being the only IT person for the district has me busy while trying to balance family time.

Thanks @alicekeeler.com I was getting ready to ask this group for that exact type of tool.

Stop what you're doing. Go to slides.new
and in the Slides go to the HELP menu and select
"Help Slides Improve"

Tell them to PUT BACK THE LAYOUT DROPDOWN ARROW so I can select which layout to insert.

This is madness!
