I had #Gemini write a 90s boom-bap rap about #GoogleClassroom...and it was actually kind of awesome. 🎤 Google's new Lyria AI music generator lets you turn text or images into custom 30-second soundtracks. Try it out, but first, hear my rap here: piped.video/RJ-H0eYZnZQ?si=RYUG… #edTech

🤯😱 You can now view two websites side-by-side inside a SINGLE Chrome tab. No more dragging windows around or needing a second monitor. Just right-click and select "Add tab to new split view." Watch the magic happen here: piped.video/RJ-H0eYZnZQ?si=qdLZ… #GoogleEDU #TeacherTips

NotebookLM is no more...long live Gemini Notebook! Google is re-naming this popular AI tool to align with the rest of the Gemini family. It's the same useful tool, with a new name. #googleEDU #edTech

I used Gemini to "vibe code" this interactive simulation. I don't know how to code AT ALL. Gemini did all the work for me based on my instructions. Here are some additional interactive activities I have created: sites.google.com/sowashventu… #GoogleEDU #AIinEDU @GoogleforEdU
