I love failures. I also (generally) enjoy playing the long game. This has been a really long game. I've been into 3D printing since purchasing my first printer for the STEM lab where I used to teach. I started with no printers, and by the end of my second year in that lab, I had six! Fast forward to a career change, and I no longer had access to the 3D print farm I had built. My darling, beautiful wife bought a 3D printer for me to use at home. My learning continued there. The biggest lesson I learned... Upgrades aren't always upgrades. Anyway, without getting too off in the technical weeds, I've been learning how to use Time Lapse software to make nice, smooth videos of my 3D prints as they're being made. I threw all (err... most... well... some) of the videos in a compilation for YouTube. I think most of them came out well considering the quality of the potato (camera) I used for filming. That being said, if you want me to get in the technical weeds of 3D printing, ...

Been in a Google Meet lately? Ha... yeah... I know... that's like asking if you've taken a breath or seen the sky lately. Ever wanted a transcript of that meet for reasons? Maybe you want to make a study guide from a lesson you recorded in Meet. Maybe you wanted to provide a read-along text for a vide you created. Maybe you wanted to offer your students the ability to read through something you taught via Google Meet for clarity and deeper understanding. Now, with the power of Otter.ai (a Freemium tool) you can have it. Take a look!

YouTube is great, isn’t it? Did you know that YouTube is the world’s #2 search engine? Think about it. When you want to learn how to do something, you probably head over to YouTube to watch a video about it. YouTube can be a challenge to use in class. You never quite know what ads will be on the page, or what someone said in a comment. If you’d like to show a YouTube video but are hesitant because you can’t control the rest of the content on the page, here’s a tip… go to watchkin.com, paste in the URL (that’s nerd talk for web address) to the YouTube video you want to show your class. Watchkin.com will strip all the extra content and will block the ads that play before and during the video. As with everything tech, test it here at school before you just assume it will work. BryCo family, I don't think it'll work for us... yet.
