People get all wrapped up in which AI model to use, and I admit that I have my clear favorites. But I use different tools for different things! Today I used Copilot Researcher to help make a purchasing decision, and Copilot used both OpenAI and Anthropic models to do its job.

I just found out there is a "Merge PDF files" button native to OneDrive and SharePoint Online, and I could not be happier about that! Just open your first PDF, choose Merge, then select the others. Your new PDF will be saved to the same destination automatically. Yay!

I often use live captions when presenting in PowerPoint, but what about when I’m presenting from other tools like Canva? Windows + Ctrl + H or look for captions in your search bar to launch. Runs on top of any application! You just never know who needs that visual support in your audience.

Twice every day, I walk this guy for about a mile. Almost every day, I record a one minute video in which I talk about something related to AI while I walk. I call it a TikTalkWalk. Follow here: 🔗 www.tiktok.com/@beckykeeneedu

My head is still processing all of the poignant moments from last night's TEDx Seattle event focused on creativity and intent in a world of AI. From data deserts to defining craft, the conversations were positive, productive, and hopeful.

I always think it’s funny when I am on the plane to a destination and get my check in notification for the trip home. I’ll be on the ground less than 24 hours in Knoxville but excited to share AI Optimism with Maryville County Schools tomorrow!
Thanks to ChatGPT for the cute little cartoon.
