Prompt (v2)
(2/2)

“Provide example scenarios like asking their teacher for assistance with an assignment. Provide examples of formal and informal writing. Emphasize correct spelling and grammar.”

Here’s the prompt I used (version 2).
1/2

“Create a simulation for middle school students to practice writing formal and informal emails to their parents or teachers.”

I used @Canva code to build an email simulator in 5 min. I was amazed at how well it worked. A perfect activity for my students. They practiced formal and informal emails. They saved the page as PDF and submitted them to Google Classroom. It was great! #edusky #eduskyAI

The fifth graders have literally had Chromebooks for ONE DAY and there is already a broken screen. Yep! Another student decided it would be funny to close a screen on another’s hand while they were using it. YOU HAVE GOT TO ME KIDDING ME! Oi! #edusky

I didn’t tell them it was AI generated at first. Can’t wait to hear their takeaways tomorrow.

I have been reviewing the syllabus for my MS technology classes. First we did a @wayground.bsky.social pre- and post-test. Today, I presented my 8th graders with a NotebookLM podcast of my syllabus to compare w/ printed version. They took notes using an Essential Q. Tomorrow we discuss. Excited.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller: A Premium Gamepad Worth the $$$ Just as the Nintendo Switch launched with the Switch Pro Controller to use in lieu of its detachable Joy-Con, the Switch 2 launches with the Switch 2 Pro Controller. Like the Switch 2 to the Switch, the $84.99 Switch 2 Pro Controller is a solid upgrade over its predecessor, with a higher price to match (the original Switch Pro is $69.99). It adds new features like programmable rear buttons and a headset jack that help justify the premium, along with several material refinements that give the gamepad a much more high-end feel. So while it's pricey, the Switch 2 Pro should be the first controller you reach for if you frequently use the system in docked mode, and that makes it our Editors' Choice award winner.

Having lots of fun with my #switch 2. Best Father’s Day gift ever!

I’m not concerned that history is repeating itself, I’m concerned at the number of people who don’t care.

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

Rep. Melissa Hortman, killed in targeted attack, was a champion for Minnesotan families Hortman worked closely with Gov. Tim Walz to enact policies that prioritized children and expanded protections for abortion and gender-affirming care

When Tim Walz became Kamala Harris's running mate, progressives highlighted policies passed. It could not have been possible without Melissa Hortman.

Proud of Minnesotans

Goooo Oilers!

Yes. I get the notification in my inbox but I haven’t seen any mention of an app like they have had in the past.

Is there an app yet for #ISTELIVE25? I haven’t seen it in an email yet.

When is your poster session? I’ll try to catch it. I’m starting an esports club/team at my jr. high this coming year. I need LOTS of guidance.

Never played Luigi’s Mansion 3 before. Never had a Switch before. So much fun for this old guy. #switch #esports #nintendo

Managing multiple windows on iPadOS 26 looks so much better! I had a hard time with it myself, not to mention little ones. #wwdc #apple #wwdc25

Apple Watch gestures look interesting. Can’t wait to try them. #wwdc #apple

I love how you can capture calendar information from an image! I will totally use that.

I’m liking some of the new visual intelligence features.
