Did you know you can now ASSIGN books in Book Creator? This means each student will get their own editable copy when they sign in so you can easily distribute a template book to your class with whatever content and scaffolds are needed.

⛳️Not only is this a lot of fun to play, but look at all the other skills that have come into play with this micro:bits coding activity, plus a big thumbs up for recycling cardboard and creativity too 👍👍👍👍

Finally got around to doing mini golf with @microbit_edu . Kids had some great ideas and lots of iteration throughout the process. During the debut, I realized the one thing I forgot to teach them was how to putt…😝🫢 #makered @HillbrookSchool

As we were talking about cables yesterday at the #microbit champion global meet-up, have you ever considered magnetic cables like this @microbit_edu? If you're doing something that requires a lot of plugging in / out they make things much easier (and less ware and tear). – at Great Malvern, England

I have another great tip for #GoogleChrome!
(👀 Read to the ⬇️⬇️ for the ultimate hack!)
I know you already use the Group Tab feature in Chrome. But in a recent update, you can now SAVE these groups!! Now, if your window closes or refreshes, you won’t lose the tabs!

Enter a prompt into inVideo AI and it generates a script, creates scenes, and adds voiceovers. It gives you a starting draft from which you can edit. #AIinEducation

And BETT feels even quieter this year than ever. Smaller ExCel space used. Wider aisles. Big food court and baggage room as filler. Seems the organisers are scaring the trade people off with those high charges.

Students in 8th Grade STEM at @montevideomiddle completed a Pinball Machine project. Students had to think through and build all the working parts of a pinball machine and code the scoring, lights, and sound using @microbit_edu. #rockingedutech #create #edtech #stemteacher

Sad news: Jamboard is disappearing.
Good news: FigJam (figma.com/jamboard-edu) is a great alternative.
Better news: You can port Jamboard files to FigJam. 🎉
Best news: FigJam has features we wish Jamboard had (but never did). 😆

While subbing in 5th grade last week, I did a short lesson about fonts.
I showed how to enter text into fonts.google.com to preview it in all the fonts—and students gasped.
