Today's Resource Share is a double header! Both are new Google Arts & Culture Experiments that are brand new this week. First, you may have used Hopper the Explorer Penguin in your classes, but he is back with a brand new text adventure across Europe! Check it out at the link below. The other experiment is Guess The Line, a program where artificial intelligence guesses what you are drawing. Both are super fun, simple, and engaging activities. Check them out below:

Today's Resource Share is a great mid-week relaxer. Through Google Experiments and Google Arts and Culture, they just released a new activity called 3D Pottery. This web-based program gives users the opportunity to throw digital clay on a wheel, recreate ancient examples of pottery, paint, and fire them. Each pot is then judged against the original by artificial intelligence. It is a fun, easy to do extension activity for most classes, but could be an amazing resource for Arts educators. Google Arts and Culture just shared a few other experiments that we will share out over the next week. Check out 3D Pottery below:

Today's Resource Share is last night's PCBL + Technology Webinar featuring Utah's Online Library. The webinar is a great introduction to Utah's Online Library and Scrible with UEN Trainer Dani Sloan. It introduces great features, research skills, and a great series of Nearpod Research Scavenger Hunts that are designed for all grade levels. There are also some great ideas for using Utah's Online Library's databases and Google to create powerful research projects. Check it out at the link below:

Today's Resource Share is our April Meetup from last night. We had a great time sharing ideas and presentations from the Google Trainer Demo Slam and then joining up with the Utah Nearpod Community for their first meetup. It was a great hour long program of new Google/Nearpod ideas from within our Utah educator community. I learned a few new tricks (quizzes to Time to Climb in Nearpod with one button press!) and I hope you will as well. Check out the recording at this link:

Today's Resource Share is this month's GEGUtah Newsletter. Check out our recent meetups (including tonight's combined with the Utah Nearpod Community), a great resource from UEN, links to the ongoing PCBL + Technology Webinar series, and links to our daily resource share program.

Today's Resource Share is last week's PCBL + Nearpod webinar. Join UEN Trainer Jami Gardner as she explores how to use Nearpod to personalize your students' learning and engage them in competency-based strategies with a plethora of formative assessments. She also has some great data management strategies within Nearpod to engage with students. Check out the video at the link below:

Today's Resource Share comes from Google's CS First lessons. Their Music & Sound lesson series works with students to create music, create a music video, and a music lab of their own. Also, it is not only one lesson but actually eight lessons that students can either work through in sequence or choose a lesson and work through it on their own. Check out the lesson series below:

Today's Resource Share comes from Google Experiments. With all the bad weather this week, snow, cold, and rain, I thought you might need a blast of spring. Google Experiments published a site called Bird Sounds. Using machine learning, they took hundreds of bird calls from around North America, added their waveform print, and organized them into a giant bird call chart. Users can move around and try out any bird call and even scroll across it and hear how bird calls change depending on species. Just a quick caveat, headphones are preferred. Check it out below:

Today's Resource Share comes from the Applied Digital Skills program. With Earth Day coming up on April 22nd, you might be looking for a lesson that you could use to support student learning and engagement. Google's Applied Digital Skills program put together a selection of lessons and resources to help teachers teach a lesson on Earth Day. You can check out the list below:

https://applieddigitalskills.withgoogle.com/c/en/earth-day?utm_source=google-applied-digital-skills&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20220414-Earth-Day-22--hsms-ins-&src=em-20220414-Earth-Day-22--hsms-ins-

Today's Resource Share is a great Applied Digital Skills Lesson. Making films with students was one of my favorite parts of being a classroom teacher. Digging in, seeing their vision, helping them film and edit, then showing their films was one of the best projects. One essential component of a film project is a storyboard. In this Applied Digital Skills lesson, Google takes the guesswork out of the process and helps students create a storyboard quickly and easily for their project. If you have never done a film project with students, this is a great starting point. Check out the lesson below:

Today's Resource Share is from Google's CS First series of lessons for young learners. This particular lesson, which lasts for around two hours, teaches students the basics of coding while also helping them understand the basics of Figurative Language terms like metaphor, simile, and personification. Students code movement to show the figurative language term. It is a super cool and interesting concept for students to engage in. Check it out, along with all the other CS First lessons, below:

For today's Resource Share, we are going a bit off Google. Last Thursday, UEN Trainer Shannon Lyon and I did a quick 30 minute webinar series on how to use Canvas within a PCBL framework. The video is about 30 minutes in length and covers a lot of great material on Canvas and how any teacher could use Canvas to create great learning experiences for learner. Check it out at the link below:

Today's Resource Share comes from Eric Curts at Control Alt Achieve. His blog post entitled "You're So Random (With Google Tools)" is a great resource for using Google products to add some random generators to your classroom. From simple things like using Google Search to roll a dice to more complex ideas like creating a Random Prompt Generator on Google Sheets, Eric has some great ideas for all levels of learners. Check it out at the link below:

Today's Resource Share comes from Google Arts & Culture Experiments and while it is aimed at our younger learners, I spent some time with it and absolutely loved it. Hopper the Penguin Explorer teaches students about famous locations around the world while also including a directable Hopper the Penguin around the photosphere. It is fun, engaging, and kind of silly, which is what some students (and teachers need) around this time of the year. Check it out at the link below:

Today's Resource Share is a quick tip on a new feature in Google Docs. Often as teachers having a template for an email we send out frequently is very helpful, we also may want to have graphics/links. Other times we need to send an email and we may want or need to wait a day to send it. Google Docs now has a feature where you can create an email template in Docs, write the whole and proof your email, then send it to Gmail with a single button press. Check it out in the video link below:

Today's Resource Share comes from Google's CS First project. If you are unfamiliar with CS First, it is Google's coding curriculum for younger students. In this lesson, students learn how to use block coding to make a character move in Scratch. It comes complete with short videos explaining each part of the curriculum. Here is the link:

Today's resource share is yesterday's UEN / GEGUtah webinar on Personalized, Competency-Based Learning + Google for Edu. In this short, 30 minute webinar you will learn some basics about personalizing learning for your students, building a structure for student learning, and engaging data in simple, innovative ways. Check out the video at the link below:

Next week is PCBL + Canvas, then subsequent weeks will explore Nearpod, Adobe, Utah's Online Library, eMedia, and Microsoft. All sessions are streamed through Youtube, free, and recorded at the same link. As always, feel free to share it with any educators that might benefit from it.
