I haven't watched any of these since TWD ended, but reading your review put a smile on my face again. I actually missed your reviews about this one's great show really tanked over the years. Still won't watch any of these though πŸ˜€

One of my favorite math problems: If you have two shuffled decks and reveal one card from each at the same time, what's the probability you're going to flip the exact same card at least once?

Want to use ChatGPT to make cartoon image?. Here's YouTube tutorial I found. He lists different styles it can recreate. Check out different versions of myself I made as cartoon styles. The takeaway for image generation is detailed prompts.

Anthony Pratt and his wife in England created the game Clue in 1944, as a way to pass the time during air raid drills during WWII.

Years ago I worked with Coach Ben on an activity for young Ss to learn Chromebook skills called β€œChromie the Chromebook” & now I have Mr. Potato Head.
Ss can learn copying & pasting plus skills such as resizing, rotating, flipping & color correction #edusky #edtech

Thanks Wes! Yes, I have "tried" a little coding for making my newest game "Spot It". The python code takes 57 images and populates them into a PowerPoint of 8 images per slide for 57 slides. It was a bit over my head and needed some help from Computer Science students :)

For my end of the year review, I played one of my newer games "Battleship". It was an absolute blast! Very different from traditional Kahoot or Jeopardy style game.
Here's my tutorial www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ1a...
if you interested in the template, shoot me a DM for the link
