The Art of Learning to use a Chromebook and other great finds!

This Chromebook training by Nadine Gilkison is AMAZING! I think it is intended to use with students but I think it would be awesome for adult training, too!


Actually, all of Nadine's stuff is great. You should definitely check her out on Twitter or on her blog!

Quick! Draw with Google!

Image
Quick, Draw! is a fun, new tool by Google that uses a “neural network” to guess what you’re drawing. The user is given a word to illustrate and as the image is drawn Google’s fancy artificial intelligence engines guess what is being drawn. You really just have to try it to see it’s magic! I think this tool would be a great ice-breaker or time filler, a fun way to introduce devices to students, a tool for practicing drawing skills as well as practice reading and vocabulary development. Quick, Draw! will work with both iPads and Chromebooks. To get started, head to quickdraw.withgoogle.com and see if your drawing skills are up to par!
