Need some jokes? Enter a grade level and topic into the Teacher Joke Generator. The AI isn't a great joke teller, but sometimes the jokes are worthy of a chuckle. app.magicschool.ai/tools/tea…

If you have a second display attached to your computer, then you have the option to mirror or extend the screen. Mirroring duplicates the computer's screen while extending treats each display as a separate screen.

Tip Tuesday! A Google Doc's background doesn't have to be white. Go to File, choose Page setup, and pick a page color. Be sure the text color contrasts with the background color for readability.

Replying to @TCEA @preimers @Apple
I love Freeform as a teacher whiteboard. I can take photos of textbook pages and handouts (or insert PDFs) and mark them up while mirroring my screen. Being able to easily zoom in is a big plus.

Tip Tuesday! You can go to a specific slide by typing the slide number and pressing Enter or Return when in Slideshow/Present mode in Google Slides, PowerPoint, or Keynote. You could write down a list of key slide numbers as a reference before presenting.

🍭 Tease a lesson by displaying a "whirly swirly" image related to the lesson. Invite students to guess and discuss before revealing the image and lesson connection.

When certain shapes are selected, a yellow-orange diamond appears. Dragging one of these handles changes a feature of the shape. Some shapes can look very different after they have been adjusted! #Shapegrams #GoogleEdu #GoogleSlides #GoogleDrawings #edutwitter

🧐 Open a lesson with a "Baffling Blur". Blur parts of an image and invite students to make educated guesses about what has been blurred. You can use Canva.com to blur areas of an image.
