Whilst on holiday in Vietnam I scanned a bonsai with @scaniverse.bsky.social @nianticlabs.bsky.social @niantic.bsky.social #GaussianSplatting & uploaded to live.arrival.space ❤️ that traditionally difficult objects are now scannable! Edit #splats with #supersplat so much fun. #Usingtechbetter

Small but mighty update to Science Sketch AI this week: added a text size slider so students can read AI responses +-. Paired with the Read to Me button, it’s a step forward in accessibility.
And yes—all AI stays on-device. Safe & private.

A Saturday seeing if ChatGPT could help build a more complex app. Did a great job. Always loved Apple Maps. Created a little simulator where students could fly/explore. Perhaps revisit a holiday or fly from home to school. 💡 to App @AppleEDU @Usingtechbetter #AppDevelopment

Quick update on high frequency word app. Managed to get working in Xcode simulator and on my iPhone. Link to AR Quick look now working in tap in word. Had to pivot on original idea but same concept #nocode #Usingtechbetter #splinetool #AppleEDU #Apple #AugmentedReality

Data alone doesn’t move people—stories do. I used @canva Code for Me to create a 3D map showing carbon emissions with particles. Let’s tell data stories that connect, not just inform. #DataStorytelling #Canva #AIinEducation @CanvaEdu @Usingtechbetter

What else do you do on a rainy Tuesday night but mockup a Vision Pro prototype in @splinetool with voice assistant api from @OpenAI that lets me customise my environment & guide me around? @Usingtechbetter @Apple @AppleEDU Backgrounds built in @canva So much fun.

How about inserting your #splinetool 3D scenes into the amazing iOS sample code #Apple provides. Turn that ‘choose your own adventure’ app into an interactive experience! Change the text - build matching visuals that encourage exploration from the reader. #Usingtechbetter

Time for a little logo magic for your business, company or school? The new ai tools in #canva are awesome to work with your branding kits & assets! Ok - let’s take the Using Technology Better ogo and create a themed image for a social media campaign! 👇👇👇 #Usingtechbetter

The other great thing about #gaussiansplats (apart from catching intricate details) is that it it picks up transparent objects like water, enabling creators to layer Koi fish in their bonsai scans 😂 Used @Scaniverse into @splinetool as ply. @NianticLabs @Usingtechbetter

Prompt 3 for {codeforme} #CanvaEdu is a Seating Planner for Teachers. Not a game changer, but super helpful at the start of the year. Map out ability levels, personalities & group work. Add names, resize tables-embed it in your unit. Practical + powerful. #canva #Usingtechbetter @beckykeene.com

Ok, all my instructional videos are now going into #canva Instant captions, then you can translate caption’s instantly for my Thai & Japanese friends. Just wow! Quick, easy, effective. If you don’t see captions? Click on caption tutorial in 🏠 page. #CanvaEdu #Usingtechbetter

Noticed with @canva new captions in videos it can sometimes struggle with my animated characters. So I just uploaded the origin source video and reduced transparency to 0. Always a way. Great effect for motion graphic novels? Used Portrait tool. #CanvaEdu #Usingtechbetter

Over weekend, built on concept of #AI voice assistants with #splinetool for #realestate showings. Now with drag/drop tools to modify rooms & voice triggers for visual changes. Excited about how this could transform design + client experiences! # #InteriorDesign #Usingtechbetter

Last night I got early access to #Spell by @splinetool.bsky.social WOW. A Text to 3d Gaussian Worlds generator! Here are some explorations from last night. Focussing on prompts that tell a story BUT also learning lots about prompts that encourage 3d specific results. #Usingtechbetter

Exciting news! Quizzes and polls have just dropped on #CanvaEdu ! 🎉 Get instant feedback, insights, and reflections in just a couple of clicks. Simply head to Elements and explore the new polls/quizzes feature. We’ve been waiting for this—so good! #Usingtechbetter #canva
