Here Naruto whirlpool aligned with the background, with creative liberties in the foreground. There is plenty more for those of you interested in doing this yourself: you can engage directly on the platform, just select one and click on 'geolocalize'! This one had inspired me to study#JapaneseArt!

Where would you stand to see this view? That is the puzzle at the heart of Drawing from the Crowd—a citizen science project exploring how Edo-period Japanese prints depicted landscapes. We'd love your help solving it 🧵

How do you create AI guidelines that support rather than undermine student learning? I've developed AI_d—a prompt-activated chatbot that guides course instructors through creating pedagogically sound AI policies using learning frameworks like Bloom's Taxonomy, SAMR, and Cognitive Apprenticeship.
