What's the problem eating too much pumpkin pie this time of year? You'll get AUTUMNy ache.
A cartoon man with a shocked expression looks at a street paved entirely with slices of pumpkin pie. He exclaims, "This street is full of pie! It's desserted." In the background, a small groundhog holds its own slice of pie.

Carve and dress a turkey!

Challenge students to carve graham crackers into the shape of a turkey—using only their teeth! They insert a photo of their cracker into Google Slides and add shapes to dress or disguise the turkey. #EduSky #EdTech
A graphic titled "Carve and dress a turkey!" illustrates a three-step creative activity. The first step shows a child carving a turkey silhouette from a graham cracker with their teeth, with the instruction: "Carve a turkey silhouette from a graham cracker with your teeth." The second step shows the resulting carved cracker and the instruction to "Insert a photo of the carved cracker into Google Slides." The final step shows the cracker digitally decorated with cartoon eyes and a striped scarf, advising to "Add shapes to dress or disguise the turkey." The graphic is branded with the Shapegrams logo.

Funny Friday! Apologies in advance for the corny puns. 🙃
A cartoon titled "CORNGRATULATIONS!" shows a man on a stage congratulating a large, living candy corn character. The man says, "You did an a-maize-ing job playing the French corn in the corn-cert!" The candy corn character, holding a broken "French corn" (French horn) and surrounded by falling "corn-fetti," replies, "Thank for the corn-pliment and all this corn-fetti."

The newest Shapegram helps learners create a custom candy corn gradient. Instead of blending colors together, this gradient changes colors suddenly to make clean stripes. #EdTech #EduSky

Using the arrow keys on your keyboard is KEY to perfect positioning in Google Slides.

#EduSky #EdTech #GaETC25 #GoogleEdu
Here is the alt text for the image: An poster from Shapegrams titled "Nudge with Arrow Keys." The text provides two keyboard tips. First: "With an object selected, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to nudge it up, down, left or right," illustrated by icons of the four arrow keys. Second, inside a blue box: "To make larger moves, hold down Shift and press an arrow key," illustrated by icons of the Shift key and the arrow keys.

A WITCH is best at WHICH subject? Spelling, of course!

This pair of homophone Zippers invites learners to recreate illustrations, and in the process, it might help with their spelling (but that might be WITCHful thinking). #EduSky #Education

A screenshot from a Shapegrams YouTube video. A man wearing a "SHAPEGRAMS" t-shirt stands on the left, looking at a cartoon skeleton on the right. The skeleton holds a smartphone with a skull on the case and poses with one hand on its hip. Subtitles at the bottom read, "Hey, did you get a new SKELphone?"
