LLMs are a game-changer! Today, I built my first iOS app to collect student work samples with ZERO coding experience. Even integrated iCloud on my first try! 🙌 This tech makes coding more accessible every day. What will the future hold as it gets even easier? 🚀 #AI #Coding

A3: I don't have anything at the moment, but I want to play around with e-learning authoring tools (Adobe Captivate, Articulate Rise, etc.) to create different learning experiences. I'm also open to other options because I know there are a toooooooon of non-traditional options. #EduSkyChat
Q3: What's on your edtech tool "to try" list?
