Great use of Gemini! I am just starting to look into Gemini Gems, can something like this be made into a Gem or is it something that needs to be published?
Of course! I plan on adding more as I create them or find others. I can add you as a collaborator if your teachers want to share what they make.
❤️ Canva Code! I have started a Wakelet collection with some examples. So far I think my favorite is the student nature documentation. wakelet.com/wake/E2Em-4L...
Canva Code is fantastic! So far I have made a weather station, Wordle and Connections games, interactive maps, and thinking routines activities . ❤️ it! wakelet.com/wake/E2Em-4L...
These are wonderful, do you have a resource with instructions on how to do this?
I made a weather station for students to observe and comment on the weather -

Love the new AI features from #Canva, especially Code AI. I’m looking for ideas on using it. So far I seen suggestions to make games, interactive images, drag and drop activities, spinners, and flash cards. What other ideas can you come up with?

@teachersfirst.bsky.social has an excellent Reading Trek that accompanies this book, it includes many activities to explore this book, including map-based ideas. #EduSky
I just tried this, so fascinating and fun! I definitely walked away with some insights to consider when writing blogs in the future. 🤯🤯
Yes, thank you! For some reason I was looking for something like Scribble Diffusion where it turns your scribble into a sketch of the object you try to draw, not for an AI image creator.
👏🏻When I look on Padlet now, I just see the "draw" tool but not the changed "I can't draw" tool. Not sure what I am missing? 😕
Ooh, I stumbled across it earlier today? Love it! ❤️
Amidst the headlines, here’s some good news: Little Free Library is granting 200 Little Free Libraries to Title I elementary schools! Each comes with 200 new books from Penguin Random House. The deadline to apply is tomorrow, Jan 31st! Apply here:

I’m keeping mine because I’ve read that if you delete your account someone else can create a new one with your name then use it however they like, most times it isn’t in good ways.
Folks, this is very real.... the time agreement hasn't been set, there's amendment games going on that would sink it, and senators may skip town depending on the CR timing.
Call/shame your senators and tell them to pass the Social Security Fairness Act now.
A Senate vote on the Social Security Fairness Act could come as early as Monday night! Together, we can make a difference for retirees and working families. Take 5 minutes to call your senators and urge them to vote YES. actionnetwork.org/call_campaig...
This would SO helpful to so many teachers!
The #SocialSecurityFairnessAct is scheduled to take place next week. Contact your senators and ask them to vote yes to this important bill to correct 40 years of unfair treatment of many public service workers, including teachers in many states. #RepealWEPGPO
The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) & Government Pension Offset (GPO) threaten Social Security benefits of millions of retired teachers, support staff & other public employees. Tell your Senator: End Social Security’s WEP & GPO penalties! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... @AFTUnion.bsky.social
I did 10x50 + 7x50 + 17x1, this is 500+350+17=867. 🥳 to Ethan!
this is great advice, I was once told that you are more likely to be successful when making small changes. The suggestion was to only change 10% at the time, once you accomplish those small goals, then you can begin a new one.
Please share and contact your senators, this needs to be voted on before December 20 or all of the hard work done by @rweingarten.bsky.social and others goes away. Sign this petition to encourage Sen Schumer to get this on the floor for a vote. sign.moveon.org/petitions/br...
