Shanna Martin:

Thanks for listening to the Tech Tools for Teachers

2

:

podcast, where each week we talk about

a free piece or two of technology

3

:

that you can use in your classroom.

4

:

I'm your host, Shanna Martin.

5

:

I'm a middle school teacher, technology,

and instructional coach for my district.

6

:

Fuzz Martin: And I'm her producer and

husband, Fuzz Martin, and podcasting

7

:

always puts me in a good mood.

8

:

Shanna Martin: Oh man,

that's like not even

9

:

Fuzz Martin: You never notice, uh

10

:

Good and mood are spelled the

same, but they don't rhyme.

11

:

Shanna Martin: Well, it's the

last episode of season six, and

12

:

clearly we've gone downhill.

13

:

Fuzz Martin: We're talking

about food mood today.

14

:

Shanna Martin: Oh, that's

where you were going with that.

15

:

I thought you were trying to, like,

Google something, like, Google.

16

:

No,

17

:

Fuzz Martin: no, no.

18

:

Food mood rhymes, but good mood does not.

19

:

Food mood rhymes.

20

:

Shanna Martin: This is true.

21

:

Yeah.

22

:

But they're, they're, and

23

:

Fuzz Martin: they're just one letter off.

24

:

Uh,

25

:

Shanna Martin: wow.

26

:

Okay.

27

:

So we're at, it'll take,

28

:

Fuzz Martin: it'll take a little bit,

but, uh, we're here at the end of the

29

:

year and, uh, and I'm out of puns.

30

:

So thankfully we snuck on

through to the end of season six.

31

:

Shanna Martin: And you have all

summer to put them together.

32

:

Fuzz Martin: Yep.

33

:

Hooray.

34

:

Gonna work on my puns

over the summer, folks.

35

:

Shanna Martin: So anywho.

36

:

It is episode 187, which is the end of.

37

:

Season six.

38

:

Fuzz Martin: Yes.

39

:

Oh, I'm sorry.

40

:

Shanna Martin: I was like, we even

prepped with the button this time, folks.

41

:

,

Fuzz Martin: I love, I love the eyeballs like daggered

42

:

to the sound effects machine.

43

:

. . Let's try that again.

44

:

Go ahead, do it.

45

:

Do it.

46

:

Do it.

47

:

Shanna Martin: All right.

48

:

And it's the last episode of season six.

49

:

There we go.

50

:

Oh my.

51

:

So if you can't tell, I'm

already on summer break.

52

:

Yes.

53

:

I've had a week.

54

:

It's not really been a week

of relaxation by any means.

55

:

I've been back to work three of

the four days that I have had off.

56

:

But really.

57

:

Fuzz Martin: Because our

other, our youngest child

58

:

Shanna Martin: is still

59

:

Fuzz Martin: in school, so you're

like, oh, I can get all this stuff

60

:

done while she's still in school.

61

:

Shanna Martin: So everyone's like,

oh, you started summer break?

62

:

I'm like, well, I've actually

been to school three times.

63

:

Yeah, that's okay.

64

:

So that's fine.

65

:

I mean I'm getting things done.

66

:

Fuzz Martin: You're still under

contract till the end of June, right?

67

:

Shanna Martin: Well, I guess kinda.

68

:

I don't know how that works.

69

:

Fuzz Martin: I don't

know how it works either.

70

:

Shanna Martin: Eh, paperwork.

71

:

Fuzz Martin: Summer break.

72

:

Shanna Martin: So anyway, so we're

talking, we're preparing for summer break

73

:

today, but I decided this year, I've

done many episodes in the past where

74

:

it's suggestions for teachers or help

for summer school or Additional support.

75

:

So like episodes, we can go back

in, um, like episode 60 and 93 and

76

:

94 and 123 and 155, I went back and

checked, I've done a lot of episodes

77

:

where it's support for students.

78

:

So parents can work over the

summer or kids can help, um, you

79

:

know, to make sure that there's no

like summer slide kind of stuff.

80

:

But this year I decided why not

make my last episode of the season

81

:

instead of be summer practice focused.

82

:

It's going to be summer

teacher fun focused, because

83

:

that is where we need to be.

84

:

And there's more button pushing.

85

:

So today we're going back to

a website of fabulousness.

86

:

That I talked about briefly earlier this

season, and I wanted to share all the

87

:

cool things that teachers can do over the

summer that will be fun for them, and, you

88

:

know, if you want to introduce it to your

students in the school year, you're more

89

:

than welcome to, but this is more for you,

educators, and your summer entertainment.

90

:

So we are using labs.

91

:

google,

92

:

and

93

:

Shanna Martin: we're going to use

some fun AI tools that are fun for

94

:

you and fun for anybody who gets to

experience you playing with these

95

:

tools because they are so much fun.

96

:

And so we have three to highlight today

because I couldn't make a decision.

97

:

And then I was like, you know what?

98

:

Teachers can have all the fun

that they want to in the summer.

99

:

So the first one is for all of you

foodies out there who like to cook or.

100

:

Maybe don't have time to

cook during the school year?

101

:

Beyond like the regular routine of

meals, but you can be adventuresome.

102

:

And this is where the, this

today's pun that comes in.

103

:

Food

104

:

Fuzz Martin: mood.

105

:

Shanna Martin: So if you go to labs.

106

:

google, which again is super

fun website, you're going to

107

:

see all this stuff going on.

108

:

You're not gonna find food

mood in the top, like the other

109

:

things we've talked about.

110

:

You have to scroll down a bit, and you

keep on scrolling, and then you gotta

111

:

find the little square towards the bottom.

112

:

Keep on keepin on.

113

:

And eventually, you will

find where it says food mood.

114

:

And when you find it, click on it.

115

:

Ta dee!

116

:

So, food mood.

117

:

Once you get there, it does switch

over to Google Arts and Culture.

118

:

Just so you know, you'll find links

that kind of come back and forth

119

:

between labs at Google and Google Arts

and Culture, which is totally fine.

120

:

But that's where, if that throws you

off, that's where you'll find it.

121

:

Food mood.

122

:

It's an experiment.

123

:

Launch it.

124

:

So food mood combines.

125

:

Two cuisines,

126

:

Fuzz Martin: two cuisines

127

:

Shanna Martin: into

one recipe, one recipe.

128

:

Fuzz Martin: This sounds like a TV show

129

:

Shanna Martin: using Google AI.

130

:

Oh my gosh.

131

:

This could totally be a fun

thing with your friends.

132

:

Invite friends over for a barbecue

or invite people over for like.

133

:

You know, charcuterie, you

know those charcuterie boards

134

:

that people are building?

135

:

You could do this with Food Mood.

136

:

It would be amazing.

137

:

Two cuisines, one recipe.

138

:

It uses AI.

139

:

All of our stuff uses AI today,

just so you know, on this episode.

140

:

I want A, and it gives you

the sentence in the beginning.

141

:

You can click on starter,

soup, main course, or dessert.

142

:

I have tried soup and dessert so far,

so we're going to go with main course.

143

:

Four.

144

:

How many people, how many

people do we want to cook for?

145

:

Fuzz Martin: Uh, let's say eight.

146

:

Shanna Martin: Okay.

147

:

Cause it maxes out at 10.

148

:

Just so

149

:

Fuzz Martin: you know,

150

:

Shanna Martin: I just clicked on 10.

151

:

You said eight.

152

:

Okay.

153

:

Eight people mixing influences from.

154

:

And you pick two countries

anywhere in the world.

155

:

It gives you a list.

156

:

All right,

157

:

Fuzz Martin: here we go.

158

:

You ready?

159

:

Shanna Martin: They're

in alphabetical order.

160

:

So pick something towards the top.

161

:

Cause I'm an E's.

162

:

Fuzz Martin: Okay.

163

:

We're going to go, uh,

we'll go with, uh, Albania.

164

:

Shanna Martin: Okay.

165

:

That starts with an A.

166

:

Oh, you're

167

:

Fuzz Martin: an E.

168

:

You said you're an E.

169

:

Shanna Martin: Now I'm on Albania.

170

:

Albania.

171

:

And,

172

:

Fuzz Martin: uh, we're

going to go with Argentina.

173

:

We'll see

174

:

Shanna Martin: where, I'm going to

twirl it and see where it ends up.

175

:

I can't pronounce it.

176

:

Indonesia.

177

:

Fuzz Martin: Indonesia.

178

:

Shanna Martin: Ready.

179

:

Fuzz Martin: Yep.

180

:

Shanna Martin: Validate.

181

:

And then it says let's.

182

:

And you click the little cooking button.

183

:

And then, food mood.

184

:

The recipe is called Eastern

Treasures, Albania and Indonesia.

185

:

An aromatic main course with a blend

of Albanian and Indonesian flavors,

186

:

perfect for a special occasion.

187

:

Serves eight.

188

:

Time?

189

:

It'll take a hundred and five

minutes to make this dish.

190

:

Go It's going to tell me my ingredients.

191

:

Ground lamb, onion, garlic, dried

oregano, cumin, red pepper, salt,

192

:

cilantro, rice, milk, broth,

turmeric, ginger, and almonds.

193

:

What gives me this picture, this AI

generated picture, and then gives

194

:

me the recipe of how to make this.

195

:

Looks like meatballs with

kind of a rice something.

196

:

It looks actually really good.

197

:

And then for a flavorful

dish, use a combination of

198

:

ground lamb and ground beef.

199

:

If you want to add, there's like

little pro tips that it gives you.

200

:

And it's awesome.

201

:

It's like our full recipe based on.

202

:

The two cultures and cook.

203

:

What I love even more is the disclaimer

on the bottom of all of these.

204

:

This experiment uses AI to inspire

your creativity in the kitchen.

205

:

Recipes have not been developed in

an actual kitchen or by actual chefs.

206

:

Please use your best judgment and

always prioritize food safety.

207

:

How cool is that?

208

:

Fuzz Martin: Yeah, that's pretty cool.

209

:

Shanna Martin: One more.

210

:

Fuzz Martin: Yep.

211

:

Shanna Martin: Dessert?

212

:

How many people?

213

:

Fuzz Martin: Uh, we'll say four.

214

:

Shanna Martin: Four people.

215

:

Fuzz Martin: Okay.

216

:

Shanna Martin: Okay.

217

:

Fuzz Martin: Uh, Germany?

218

:

Shanna Martin: Germany!

219

:

Fuzz Martin: And Japan.

220

:

Shanna Martin: I did Germany and

Ireland this morning, and that's the

221

:

one that I have put into my blog.

222

:

Uh, Germany and Japan.

223

:

There was some sort of chocolate

amazingness that was this morning.

224

:

And I really actually wanted to make it.

225

:

I am searching in alphabetical

order, Japan, Germany and Japan.

226

:

Ready?

227

:

Fuzz Martin: Yep.

228

:

Shanna Martin: Let's cook.

229

:

Now, do we all see how entertaining

this could be in the summer?

230

:

So if you have time, you want to teach

family members to cook, you can, you

231

:

want to have a cook off in your family.

232

:

You could do that or with

friends, or you could just have

233

:

everybody do this virtually or

in some sort of cool Google meet.

234

:

And then have everybody choose their

food and then you can cook it and

235

:

bring it to a dinner party instead

of having the usual potluck where we

236

:

have mac and cheese, we have baked

beans, we have crockpot chicken.

237

:

You could actually all come

with like a really cool dish.

238

:

Fuzz Martin: Yes.

239

:

Shanna Martin: Besides the fluff

pretzel strawberry thing that

240

:

everybody in Wisconsin makes.

241

:

Like you could make this pretty amazing.

242

:

Funeral potatoes.

243

:

Yes.

244

:

I mean, we can't give up

funeral potatoes, but anyway.

245

:

All right.

246

:

Zenith of sweetness.

247

:

Oh, what?

248

:

This looks amazing.

249

:

The dessert is perfectly balanced

with two distinct cultures.

250

:

Dessert making prowlessness resulting

in the pinnacle of sweetness.

251

:

There's some sort of chocolate,

whipped cream, gelatin, more sugar.

252

:

More sugar, matcha powder,

coconut milk, strawberries.

253

:

Yes.

254

:

I

255

:

Fuzz Martin: think I did.

256

:

I think I had a good idea.

257

:

Shanna Martin: I think you did too.

258

:

So again.

259

:

Fuzz Martin: Hard to scrub dessert.

260

:

Shanna Martin: Yeah, I know.

261

:

And this is like, and it's not a

kajillion ingredients and it takes

262

:

55 minutes from start to finish, but.

263

:

Fuzz Martin: It's not long.

264

:

Shanna Martin: No.

265

:

It's not long.

266

:

I mean, HelloFresh has

some competition, maybe.

267

:

Yeah.

268

:

Fuzz Martin: You know, like, uh,

frozen pizza takes, you know, 25.

269

:

Shanna Martin: This is true.

270

:

You can make a really fancy dessert

with your frozen pizza for your friend

271

:

party that you're going to have.

272

:

Fuzz Martin: Yeah.

273

:

Shanna Martin: So anyway,

Food Mood, check it out.

274

:

Check it out.

275

:

Teacher Fun this summer.

276

:

I think it would be fun.

277

:

We're going to do this.

278

:

Fuzz Martin: Food Mood.

279

:

Shanna Martin: We're going to

have some sort of dessert off.

280

:

Fuzz Martin: Good mood.

281

:

Shanna Martin: Yeah.

282

:

Fuzz Martin: No attitude.

283

:

Shanna Martin: Do you want to keep going?

284

:

Fuzz Martin: No.

285

:

Shanna Martin: Okay.

286

:

So, number two, back to labs.

287

:

google.

288

:

Fuzz Martin: Yes.

289

:

Shanna Martin: Scroll down, get

past the fancy page, scroll down

290

:

and towards the bottom, you will

find what is called poem postcards.

291

:

Try it now.

292

:

So again, it'll pop up.

293

:

It links you to Google arts and culture.

294

:

That's kind of like the, the

gateway to get you to these things.

295

:

Um, so poem postcards.

296

:

What's cool about this, by the way,

you could use this in your classroom

297

:

just so you all know, but this could

be fun to send random emails to your

298

:

co workers throughout the summer and or

send random poems to friends, relatives.

299

:

Whoever you want to send

random digital postcards to.

300

:

It gives you a piece of art

and you can change them.

301

:

So if you click when you get there, so

poem postcards, more art, there is tons

302

:

and tons and tons and tons of classical

art pieces that you can pick from.

303

:

It's like step one, pick a piece of art

because the poem will be based on that

304

:

piece of art, so that's something to

kind of know, like be aware of that.

305

:

So like I pick Starry

Night, Vincent van Gogh.

306

:

Okay.

307

:

Okay.

308

:

I am choosing my poem.

309

:

Which you can pick.

310

:

There's lots of choices, but you have

haiku, free verse, sonnet, limerick.

311

:

Okay.

312

:

I'm going to choose a

ballad because that seems.

313

:

Appropriate.

314

:

And I want someone who loves pencils.

315

:

Oh, nice.

316

:

So now he's going to write me a

ballad inspired by Starry Night

317

:

about someone who loves pencils.

318

:

Fuzz Martin: Pencils.

319

:

Shanna Martin: Paint with pencils the

starry night, the view from his window

320

:

so bright, the swirling clouds and

cypress trees, the moon and stars so

321

:

serenely, a masterpiece born of his pain,

a gift to the world of timeless refrain.

322

:

And then.

323

:

You click share poem and you send

it to somebody so you can send

324

:

it through Facebook, X (formerly

Twitter), Pinterest, email, Tumblr, and

325

:

Fuzz Martin: Tumblr,

326

:

Shanna Martin: our favorite.

327

:

That's a blast

328

:

Fuzz Martin: from the past too.

329

:

Shanna Martin: Google Classroom.

330

:

Oh, yes.

331

:

So you can link poems right

into Google Classroom.

332

:

So summer school kids, you

can be like, poem of the day.

333

:

Anyway, so you can send these fun little

poem postcards and you can be, you can

334

:

send them to your, again, co workers,

someone who needs a brightened day.

335

:

You know, everybody loves summer emails,

but this would be fun ones to get.

336

:

Like, you don't have to go

to MorePD, you can get a cool

337

:

poem postcard from somebody.

338

:

Fuzz Martin: I wrote you one, Shanna.

339

:

Shanna Martin: Oh, my.

340

:

Fuzz Martin: Based on

Gustav Klimitz, The Kiss.

341

:

Shanna Martin: Great.

342

:

What's the picture look like?

343

:

Fuzz Martin: Uh, it's, uh,

it's two people, uh, kissing.

344

:

Oh.

345

:

Great.

346

:

Super.

347

:

I don't think it was, I don't know

if it would be super appropriate

348

:

for, uh, I mean, it's, it's,

it's an appropriate photo.

349

:

It's like, like, here you go.

350

:

See?

351

:

Shanna Martin: Oh, yeah, it's just art.

352

:

Fuzz Martin: But it would make

sixth graders, uh, giggle.

353

:

Uh, two lovers entwined

in a passionate kiss.

354

:

See, that would make sixth graders giggle.

355

:

Yes, it would.

356

:

Uh, their bodies and

souls entwined as one.

357

:

Yes, still, still.

358

:

The man's green skin and the

woman's, uh, golden hair.

359

:

By the way, uh, it was for

someone who loves frogs.

360

:

Shanna Martin: Oh, okay.

361

:

A perfect

362

:

Fuzz Martin: match like

frogs and lily pads.

363

:

Oh,

364

:

Shanna Martin: it's like

the princess and the frog.

365

:

The setting

366

:

Fuzz Martin: is lush, verdant forest.

367

:

Pfft.

368

:

Where the birds sing, and the

flowers bloom, The air is filled

369

:

with the sweet scent of love,

And all is right in the world.

370

:

Shanna Martin: Cute.

371

:

Fuzz Martin: With the world.

372

:

Shanna Martin: Nice.

373

:

Fuzz Martin: Anyway, there you go.

374

:

That's, uh, that's the kiss.

375

:

Shanna Martin: There you go.

376

:

So it takes a part of the piece of the

art, teaches a little bit about the art,

377

:

writes you a poem, a line to something

to point out to it, and boom, postcard.

378

:

It'd be fun to send to somebody, I think,

and you could just, Flood somebody's

379

:

mailboxes with fun poems and then

380

:

Fuzz Martin: send it to a politician.

381

:

That would be

382

:

Shanna Martin: fun.

383

:

That would be entertaining

So and our third one.

384

:

Send it to your

385

:

Fuzz Martin: school board.

386

:

I'm kidding.

387

:

Don't do that.

388

:

Shanna Martin: Please don't do that

389

:

Fuzz Martin: Um, send it to your principal

and say hey, it was been a great year.

390

:

Shanna Martin: Like, I did PD.

391

:

Yeah Please don't get me in trouble.

392

:

Okay, so Our last one with labs.

393

:

google.

394

:

Fuzz Martin: This is my favorite.

395

:

This may have been the one that I

was really excited to talk about.

396

:

Shanna Martin: Okay.

397

:

So it's called Say What You See.

398

:

Not Say What You Mean.

399

:

Okay.

400

:

Anyway, not that we were singing

that earlier or anything.

401

:

Um, so it's called Say What You See.

402

:

Again, scroll down towards the bottom.

403

:

Again, it'll come through

Google arts and culture.

404

:

So, this tool, not only is it

highly entertaining, but it's

405

:

actually really beneficial.

406

:

Fuzz Martin: And by this tool,

you don't mean John Mayer, right?

407

:

Shanna Martin: Correct.

408

:

Okay.

409

:

Oh my goodness.

410

:

Wow.

411

:

We're just like full of jokes today.

412

:

So, Say What You See helps you learn how

to write prompts in this game, but for AI.

413

:

Yes.

414

:

So, I can't tell you, like, as a, as a

tech coach or an instructional coach,

415

:

I have teachers who want to start using

AI, but they get really frustrated

416

:

because when they're writing, AI is

not producing what they actually need.

417

:

So they want like a rubric written

for them because rubrics are tricky

418

:

and they're time consuming and

they want to use some AI, like

419

:

different AI tools to write a rubric.

420

:

The problem is, the way they

write the prompt, it doesn't

421

:

give them what they need.

422

:

So it's frustrating, and then

it's not useful, and then you

423

:

just do all the work over again.

424

:

Fuzz Martin: Yep.

425

:

Shanna Martin: That's my teaching point.

426

:

So, Say What You See is a game

based on writing prompts for AI.

427

:

So what you do is you go into the

game, say what you see, there's like

428

:

a little brain, I thought it was a

pig or a cloud, but I'm pretty sure

429

:

it's a brain, it's a brain, isn't it?

430

:

Okay, so, start level one.

431

:

So when you click on it, it gives

you a picture, and it shows you,

432

:

like, include the information, the

medium, the subject, and the context.

433

:

So, a painting of a dog in a field.

434

:

Okay, the more descriptive you

get and specific, the better.

435

:

You will get AI to produce

what you want it to.

436

:

Okay.

437

:

Level one,

438

:

Fuzz Martin: but there's a trick.

439

:

You only get 120 characters,

440

:

Shanna Martin: correct?

441

:

So you can't go on and on forever

because it's going to ignore you.

442

:

I want you to tell me what you

see in the level one picture.

443

:

The first one

444

:

Fuzz Martin: I saw ramen noodles, uh,

here, I'll show you my whole thing.

445

:

Here was my whole level one.

446

:

Shanna Martin: Oh, interesting.

447

:

Fuzz Martin: Yeah.

448

:

Shanna Martin: Okay.

449

:

Fuzz Martin: And so these were

my, my pictures that I did.

450

:

Shanna Martin: So tell me about what

you wrote for your gradient picture.

451

:

Fuzz Martin: For my gradient, I,

I put, cause I, I'm colorblind.

452

:

I

453

:

Shanna Martin: know.

454

:

That's why I So I just wrote

455

:

Fuzz Martin: a blank screen with a

gentle gradient and, uh, it came back

456

:

with what the colors were, I think

it's pink or something like that.

457

:

Yeah, it

458

:

Shanna Martin: goes mint green to pink.

459

:

And I was like, you can't see that.

460

:

Fuzz Martin: So at first

I thought it was broken.

461

:

Shanna Martin: Okay.

462

:

Fuzz Martin: Uh, and then so

I'm like, uh, it's a blank

463

:

screen with a gentle gradient.

464

:

And, uh, and then apparently

it was like, Hey, you're right.

465

:

Except for, uh, my color was wrong.

466

:

So that one, I go, I was 70

percent right according to this.

467

:

So, but my other two, I think it was, I

don't know if I got the color of the bowl.

468

:

Right.

469

:

Um,

470

:

Shanna Martin: you said purple, it's blue.

471

:

Fuzz Martin: It's blue.

472

:

Okay.

473

:

Yeah.

474

:

So, but my, uh, my ramen spot on, huh?

475

:

Look at that.

476

:

Shanna Martin: Yeah.

477

:

Good job.

478

:

So like when I did the gradient

one, I get 88 percent of the

479

:

match, but that's just because I

can see the color change and you.

480

:

Yes.

481

:

But anyway, EV, besides the point,

482

:

Fuzz Martin: yes,

483

:

Shanna Martin: it teaches you how to

write what you see specifically enough.

484

:

Yep.

485

:

And accurately enough.

486

:

So that way it then creates the image

that you describe in your picture,

487

:

and it'll tell you the percentage,

how close you are, and how far you

488

:

are from what your descriptions are.

489

:

So for those of you who.

490

:

are starting to use more AI in the

classroom and who are using these

491

:

different tools, this is a great way

to kind of play a game and also train

492

:

your brain as to how to write short

descriptions that are specific enough

493

:

for AI to understand what you want.

494

:

Fuzz Martin: Yes.

495

:

Shanna Martin: And it's fun.

496

:

Fuzz Martin: It is.

497

:

Shanna Martin: And then it's

challenging because you're like,

498

:

but wait, I want that to be 100%.

499

:

I don't want that to be like

89 percent because those

500

:

types of things drive me nuts.

501

:

You can move on to the next

one, but you're not accurate.

502

:

So, this works on your accuracy as well.

503

:

So yeah, what are you working on now?

504

:

I can see you furiously

typing and competing.

505

:

Fuzz Martin: I'm starting level

two, so let's see what happens.

506

:

Level two.

507

:

Let's see.

508

:

Level two, fight!

509

:

Fail.

510

:

Oh, look at that, it's pretty close.

511

:

Oh, I hit 77

512

:

Shanna Martin: percent match?

513

:

Nice.

514

:

Yeah, it

515

:

Fuzz Martin: put a rider

on my bronze horse, but uh

516

:

Shanna Martin: It's

lifting the correct leg.

517

:

It is.

518

:

And it's missing a leg.

519

:

Fuzz Martin: It is missing a leg.

520

:

Your horse only

521

:

Shanna Martin: has three legs.

522

:

Fuzz Martin: I don't know why

that horse has three legs.

523

:

Okay.

524

:

Um, it didn't tell it to have three legs,

525

:

Shanna Martin: but All right.

526

:

We're good.

527

:

All right.

528

:

So, that's our last one.

529

:

So, that's Say What You See.

530

:

So, that is the third

one to kind of practice.

531

:

And that actually, that tool will be

really helpful for, again, training your

532

:

brain and being able to write specific

things for AI and some practice with

533

:

writing some specific things for AI.

534

:

Fuzz Martin: Yeah.

535

:

I like that.

536

:

That's pretty cool.

537

:

And it's very helpful even, uh, even just

for you as a teacher to learn how to do

538

:

this better because this is definitely

a skill that all of us will need as

539

:

AI becomes more and more important.

540

:

West

541

:

Shanna Martin: So there we go.

542

:

Some of the cool things we

can do with labs.google.

543

:

I want to be able to share Some of these

creations that they make from food mood.

544

:

Yes.

545

:

That would be amazing.

546

:

Fuzz Martin: Yes.

547

:

The appetizer for three that

you're making from Antarctica.

548

:

No, because in Antarctica

you're not allowed to make.

549

:

Did you know this?

550

:

You're not allowed to eat

anything from Antarctica.

551

:

It all has to be shipped in.

552

:

Did you know that?

553

:

I learned that over the weekend.

554

:

You're not allowed to eat

anything native on Antarctica.

555

:

Shanna Martin: So it has to be.

556

:

It

557

:

Fuzz Martin: all has to be shipped in.

558

:

Shanna Martin: Interesting.

559

:

Fuzz Martin: Yeah.

560

:

You have to get all your

food from Piggly Wiggly.

561

:

Shanna Martin: Yes.

562

:

If you don't know what Piggly Wiggly

is, it's a grocery store in the Midwest.

563

:

And yes, yes, folks, there

is a pig in the logo.

564

:

And people, people have t

shirts with pigs on them.

565

:

I might get one.

566

:

But that's not here nor there.

567

:

So anywho, if you haven't started

summer break yet, I hope you do soon

568

:

and you enjoy your break and take some

time to enjoy and relax the summer.

569

:

If you are on summer break,

yay, enjoy your summer.

570

:

But for everybody, take a

minute, relax, enjoy your summer.

571

:

Educators deserve it.

572

:

They work so hard.

573

:

And, thanks for finishing

season six with us.

574

:

Yeah,

575

:

Fuzz Martin: we'll check

in with you sometime.

576

:

Throughout the summer.

577

:

We always do.

578

:

Do it for the algorithm.

579

:

Shanna Martin: We do that.

580

:

And also And for you.

581

:

Because you have to work on your puns.

582

:

And there's plenty to work on.

583

:

Fuzz Martin: Yeah, I don't

want to fall out of practice.

584

:

Pun

585

:

Shanna Martin: practice.

586

:

Because

587

:

Fuzz Martin: we know I

never make puns at home.

588

:

Only here on the, on the

Whatever this is called,
