This is the kind of interactivity and form equaling function I’d love to see in online learning. @jasonhimsl.bsky.social

Cozy video games can quell stress and anxiety.
Explore a charming town, meet quirky villagers, and take in the cozy vibes!

One of the biggest challenges of 3D creation for edu is the platform. Thanks to @twinmotion.bsky.social and SharePoint Spaces, this project will run in browsers. Twinmotion also allows me to quickly change the weather settings. Test demo below… @steveisaacs.bsky.social @mtholfsen.bsky.social

Very cool to see @feliciayong.bsky.social and @stevenpfloyd.bsky.social have joined us on Blue Sky! I’m lucky to work in the same board as these educators. The best conversations I’ve had about education usually involved at least one of them.

Thinking about Project Spark today. It should have been huge, but it never really took off. It allowed users to make all sorts of video games via accessible coding blocks.

I wish I had been able to use it in my classes. youtu.be/QCTaUplJ5Us?...

One of the best things about early edu social media was learning from each other via exchanging ideas and questions.

What is something you are excited about? What problem are you trying to solve? What’s something you are investigating?
