Georgette just found this article from 2 years ago... it does make us happy when people understand some of the overlapping meanings of her research to creativity AND quantum physics.... neuroquantology.com/data-cms… #steameducation

Here's a virtual tug-of-war template to encourage student talk & help them identify reasons to support different sides of the issue. Ss can write or record reasons or "tugs" that pull them towards one side & place their sticky note or voice note on the rope. Enjoy, friends!

New image aspect ratio control in version 1.16. You can now easily adjust imported images to seamlessly wrap a sphere. Great for creating planets or using 360 photos! Ref: solarsystemscope.com/texture… #ARVRinEDU #AR #AugmentedReality #iOS #edtech #iPad #ARoniPad #AppleEDU

In a race against time to build something from nothing, students can unleash their collaboration and creativity in powerful ways. Find out how @CURRO_SCHOOLS in Africa engaged students with an #esports league using #MinecraftEdu. Read their story: msft.it/6018Vu5PM

Whaaaaaat!!!??? I was today years old when I learned that #PowerPoint slides can be a background in Zoom *and* you can move thru the slides. Note - you can download #GoogleSlides as PPT files to do this! #RemoteTeaching #RemoteLearning
My big Zoom learning today was that you can use Powerpoint Slides as your background and move from slide to slide! This will come in real handy for synchronous teaching or workshops! It's in the advanced section of "Share Screen" #edtech #sbpdchat #remotelearning @zoom_us

White people's job in race and equity work is predominantly to talk to other white people about it. Push the conversation with your family. Do your research.

Good teaching is modeling discomfort. it is sitting with what you are struggling to articulate and letting your students/peers/family watch you struggle... & eventually overcome. This is especially important for White folks as they engage with each other around race #HipHopEd

Use #keynote to create your own greenscreen overlays to use in #iMovie. The area you fill with green will become transparent revealing your video. Export your slide as a movie to ensure your overlay is the same size as the rest of your iMovie project. #EveryoneCanCreate @AppleEDU

Now that #iste19 is over, thought I’d try the #WormholeChallenge by @HopkinTeach with some #iMovie green screen, a little origami, a Philadelphia skyline and some #GarageBand for fun! #AppleEDUChat #EveryoneCanCreate @AppleEDU @DevonGarritt @CBAWestChester
