Each May there is a Google I/O Developers Conference in Mountain View, CA. Watch this video to see all of the big announcements from Google. I’m particularly excited about the newest AI capabilities and the Google Lens App.

Curricular Connection


Make your own virtual reality tours using the new Google Tour Creator.
The Tour Creator tool is web-based, and allows you to create tour experiences and publish them to Google's 3D content portal, Poly. 360-degree photos can be annotated by placing tags on the photo with descriptions and images.

Happy Friday to you. Have a great weekend!

Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
