Matt Miller Webinar Resources from 2/27/2024
Matt Miller Webinar Resources from 2/27/2024
Here's the Google Doc that accompanied the webinar, which includes many ready-to-use AI prompts: http://ditch.link/frisco
The doc has many more options than were included in the webinar. Reach out with questions or if you'd like a thought partner to explore with you!
Note: Educational Microsoft accounts do not include Microsoft Designer. If you sign up for a free personal Microsoft account, you can access Designer that way. Have fun using the templates that Matt provided to create Funko Pop, Lego, and Barbie versions of characters, historical figures, important people, etc. related to your course(s). While you're in there, also have fun recreating yourself, family, and friends.

FigJam (Jamboard replacement... but so much better)
FigJam was briefly mentioned in the Tech Update on Tue, Feb. 13. Since then I've had time to explore more and I'M IMPRESSED! The free everybody account includes only 3 collaborative design files but the free Educator account is UNLIMITED!
How is this better than Jamboard?
Post-its, stickers, and most other items are labeled with students' names (no more anonymous contributions).
Hyperlinks work!
The board size is unlimited! Zoom in/out as much as you want.
Tons of additional features! Stickers, draw with a touchscreen, washy tape, flowchart connectors, and much more!
Spotlight Me allows teacher to control where students are on the board!
Check out the Widgets!
