Free Technology for Teachers: Pi, Puppy and AI

Good morning from Maine where the sun is shining and it’s going to be a beautiful late winter day. It will be perfect for playing outside with the newest member of our family, Rangeley Noodle. We got a black lab puppy last weekend and my girls named him Rangely Noodle. Rangeley is for one of our favorite places in Maine and Noodle because my five year old thought it was fun to say and the rest of us went along with it. Wherever you are this weekend, I hope you’re having fun outside too!

This week I started a new course called Five Video Projects for Almost Every Grade. Even if you miss the first week, you can still sign up and get all the lessons.

These were the most popular posts of the week.

1. Summary of Pi Day Resources

2. AI tools are coming to Google Workspace Tools

3. An overview of the use and detection of artificial intelligence

4. 15 Microsoft Forms Tutorials for Teachers

5. A new answer to the questions I get asked the most

6. Annotate videos with text and images

7. Whimsical – AI concept map generator
