I mostly dreamt in board games so I was pretty much able to build what was in my head! I also came up with a lot of new ideas when I established what Canva Code was good at and what it couldn’t do. Parameters helped to focus my creative efforts.

Prepping a PD for teachers on vibe coding and Canva Code. I’ve dreamt up so many little games and apps for my classroom over the years and now all of a sudden they’re real and functioning. What a cool thing for teachers who love the creativity of the job. sites.google.com/cccsd.org/le... #EduSky

Seems like teachers who are looking for their PLC peers are here (migrated from Twitter), LinkedIn is where all the influencers and evangelists go to speak in hyperbole, and Reddit is a dark dark place where burnt out teachers hide behind anonymity to absolutely dump out out all their frustrations.

One math problem where you can see a student’s thought process is worth so much more than a whole worksheet full of problems. You can properly give feedback too, because you can respond to their thought process and not just its result.

Have you used Canva’s code with me feature? Just curious how they compare. I’ve never used Gemini for this but it looks like it has similar limitations as Canva in terms of the graphics it can code. I’ve used Canva Code to make a lot of Breakout Clues. #EduSky

My first question exploring any new website or feature is “how can I use this in a class escape room?” And by that measure, Canva Code is off the charts. I can generate accurate, interactive, functional widgets in seconds. I’m still processing what the implications of this will be… #EduSky #EduSkyAI

For example, a custom bot that helps students come up with 16 words to create a Connections puzzle based on what they’re learning. Also, I made a custom bot that facilitates a yes/no game with students, like Heads Up, where they try to guess vocab words. #EduSky
