Today's Resource Share comes from Google Arts and Culture. Food Mood is a new interactive experience for creating new recipes with AI. Users input what kind of dish they want to create, how many people it is for, and which two cultures' cuisines you would like to have reflected in the dish. AI then creates a brand new dish, along with photos, for you to try creating. Some of the recipes I have tried look amazing, but others have either unsafe or problematic issues with how the food is created. Check out the tool and try your own recipes at the link below:

Today's Resource Share comes from Google Arts & Culture. Last week they released their K-Pop Dance Challenge. If you are unfamiliar, K-Pop is a genre of music from Korea and relies heavily on dance skills. This activity relies on a Chromebook camera to track student movement while they learn the steps to a K-Pop dance a variety of levels. This is a fun, easy way to learn about another culture while dancing. Check out the activity at the following link:

Today's resource share is a couple of GEGUtah reminders about UCET / UELMA. Next Tuesday and Wednesday March 19th-20th, GEGUtah will be sharing at the UCET / UELMA 2024 conference. All our GEGUtah leaders will be sharing across the conference from virtual sessions by Emma and Ian to the GEGUtah Demo Slam on the mainstage.

In addition, like the past few years, the GEGUtah Leadership team will be out in force with new, exclusive swag. Find a GEGUtah leader early in the conference for an exclusive sticker pack and the GEGUtah 2024 button. Matt may have a special button on him for those that find him really early in the conference. 

Also just a reminder that Eric Curts from GEGOhio and Control Alt Achieve will be sharing at the conference. His most popular session, Hipster Google, will be shared on the mainstage on March 19th and will be livestreamed and recorded. 

Today's Resource Share comes via Google Earth. Google Earth recently went through a redesign to help make it easier to do project with students. The renovated program, which can be used on any device, is more focused on giving users tools to create a tour, a set of locations, and to save all their work in Google Drive. The article below walks you through some of the finer points of the changes. Like me, if you haven't been on Google Earth recently, this is a great time to check it out and see how it could be used in your classrooms:

Today's Resource Share comes from Google Arts & Culture. They just released a new game called Rewild the World. This game is a collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund and asks players to turn on their webcams to act as a series of animals (tigers, polar bears, and more) as they discover more about their environment. Players have their hands turned into the paws or flippers of a series of animals as they explore the different habitats. Check out the game at the following link:

Today's Resource Share comes from UCET/UELMA Featured Speaker Eric Curts. He recently posted a blog with some great free tools to help support teaching students about artificial intelligence. This blog has several great tools, ideas, and lesson plans to help build your ability as an educator.
