Looks like FigJam ate Jamboard. If you’re a teacher, you’ll understand. #EdTech #googleEDU
And in other crummy news today, Google has decided to kill Jamboard… :-(

I needed to do some manipulation of text submissions in the Google Sheet, to create a final team list, so I used #ChatGPT to get the exact syntax for 3 different spreadsheet formulas I used.

Conditional formatting in a spreadsheet is awesome & powerful! I was inspired to do more with this by @ericcurts in his #NCTIES23 workshop on Google Sheets!

Today I used "conditional formatting" in a Google Spreadsheet of Google Form student voting results, to determine the object of tomorrow's Middle School Gaming Club MINECRAFT SPEED BUILD competition. I got the formula here:

I've mysteriously started to see a "This service is not available" error message on my personal Google / GMail account, for both GMail and Google Drive.
Weird.
Anyone else seeing this?

Today in our Middle School media literacy class we're continuing our Sketchnoting unit: https://lessons.wesfryer.com/lessons/sketchnoting
For our "Wonder Links" discussion https://lessons.wesfryer.com/wonder-links we watched 2 short video clips about the proposed federal TikTok ban & new Utah social media curfew / parental rights law. Everyone sketchnoted, then uploaded their #sketchnote to a shared Google Slideshow! Great way to make student thinking VISIBLE!

Working with students & Google Sites? Be sure students do NOT submit their Google Site EDITING link to you (as the TEACHER) in Google Classroom!
If they do, students will lose EDITING rights to their ENTIRE Google Site, until you RETURN it to them in Google Classroom.
So CREATIVE! Playing with "Cursive Voting" in Google Docs!

Google Docs only allows INTERNAL LINKS to HEADINGS and BOOKMARKS. @ericcurts thinks it's easier to use HEADINGS. (Plus, I think it's great to teach students about how to structure documents with HEADINGS, so that's a bonus!)
