I broke down and got a Roku box and have had no dropped connections. It’s just sad their hardware doesn’t work. Tech support is useless. Their only suggestion was to send me a replacement or I buy 3rd party device. Anyone else have this experience? #directv #GeminiAir #dongle

The Gemini Air dongles are crap! So many dropped connections even though my internet is very strong. I use Google WiFi hubs in the house to maintain strong signal throughout 2200 sq ft house. No issues on phone app or other devices. The dongles get hot and can’t seem to drive a 4K to a 75 inch tv.

I used @Canva code to build an email simulator in 5 min. I was amazed at how well it worked. A perfect activity for my students. They practiced formal and informal emails. They saved the page as PDF and submitted them to Google Classroom. It was great! #edusky #eduskyAI

The fifth graders have literally had Chromebooks for ONE DAY and there is already a broken screen. Yep! Another student decided it would be funny to close a screen on another’s hand while they were using it. YOU HAVE GOT TO ME KIDDING ME! Oi! #edusky

I have been reviewing the syllabus for my MS technology classes. First we did a @wayground.bsky.social pre- and post-test. Today, I presented my 8th graders with a NotebookLM podcast of my syllabus to compare w/ printed version. They took notes using an Essential Q. Tomorrow we discuss. Excited.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller: A Premium Gamepad Worth the $$$
Just as the Nintendo Switch launched with the Switch Pro Controller to use in lieu of its detachable Joy-Con, the Switch 2 launches with the Switch 2 Pro Controller. Like the Switch 2 to the Switch, the $84.99 Switch 2 Pro Controller is a solid upgrade over its predecessor, with a higher price to match (the original Switch Pro is $69.99). It adds new features like programmable rear buttons and a headset jack that help justify the premium, along with several material refinements that give the gamepad a much more high-end feel. So while it's pricey, the Switch 2 Pro should be the first controller you reach for if you frequently use the system in docked mode, and that makes it our Editors' Choice award winner.

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

Rep. Melissa Hortman, killed in targeted attack, was a champion for Minnesotan families
