Using #AdventOfCode 2023 problems this month to try out #GitHub #Copilot for first time. I have not give Copilot the text of a challenge, but since I infrequently use #python, GC's been a good "coach". Saved time looking up syntax via chat instead of ref guides. Autocomplete great for documenting as I code. Also, if I write pseudocode in comments to lay out my logic, it sometimes generates code I planned to write with me only pressing the tab key.

Last week Google announced Bard for Teens was available to personal accounts of users age 13 (in USA) to 18. https://blog.google/products/bard/google-bard-expansion-teens/ While it didn't explicitly say Workspace for Education was excluded, it doesn't appear to be available to those accounts for those under 18, and that could be useful for school. Anyone hear anything about it eventually coming to Workspace? #AiEducation #googleedu #bard

Peer Review idea presented in this @edutopia article is good. https://www.edutopia.org/article/who-should-evaluate-teachers However, one challenge is to provide full-time classroom teachers the time and bandwidth to do this. Whether it is for peer review or not, a teacher visiting another often benefits from the opportunity of seeing how a colleague practices the craft. #teaching

@ASegar Do you have a reproducible and distributable copy of Appendix 6 from Event Crowdsourcing similar to the older version you released here - https://www.conferencesthatwork.com/index.php/free-downloads/ - for Conferences That Work?

From Long Now Foundation established to foster long-term thinking - Digital Avatars and Our Refusal to Die: "Digital avatars — computer representations of real human beings — are moving increasingly from fiction into reality. Yet these technological advancements risk infringing on the rights of future generations, as well as upending how humans understand and experience death." https://longnow.org/ideas/digital-avatars-and-our-refusal-to-die/ HT @WillRichardson

New to me but Microsoft Edge browser has had Math Solver built-in since May 2021. Yes, it can do HW 🙁 in less than a minute per problem by selecting it on the screen, but it does also suggest related Khan Academy tutorial videos to review concepts. https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2021/05/21/preview-microsoft-math-solver-microsoft-edge/.
