Weekly Giggles:        How does a scientist freshen her breath?

                                       With experi-mints!

Unlisted Playlist. So what if you want to put content on YouTube because it is reliable, free, and easy to use, but you don’t want the world to stop by and watch your content? What if you want that content to be private and only viewable by your students? And what if you want ONE URL to share with your kids? Just one? Can we have just one link to share…and your kids can see all your special videos? Yes. You can. Here’s your solution. VIDEO LINK HERE.

Document Camera. Another way you can use a cellphone as a document camera in Zoom, is to function as Participant #1 and Participant #2 at the same time.  Use Zoom on your phone to enter the session. Give sharing rights to that “user” [you as Participant #2]. To see what this looks like, here’s a tutorial. Check it out.

CI&A Distance Learning Sessions. Did you miss out on any of those video teaching sessions hosted by Educational Technology? CI&A Posted those sessions online in one spot. HEAD HERE if you want to review any of those sessions.

Valley Children’s Hospital. My daughter visited Valley Children’s Hospital last week. She swallowed a camera the size of a pill. As that pill traveled through her digestive tract, it shared images with this camera via Bluetooth technology. It was strapped to her abdomen for 24 hours and recorded the entire journey.

I tell you all the time that technology will continue to revolutionize all industries far and wide. This is one more example of how the field of medicine must understand how to use advanced technology in order to perform their roles of saving lives. [All is good over here. No worries. Just wanted to share that geeky tech with you.]

Stay well,
