It gives our students the freedom to explore and express their ideas in the way that makes the best sense to them. That could be in writing, as an audio report, via a video presentation, or even an animation that they create themselves.”

I’ve made George Washington sing disco and Marilyn Monroe blow me a kiss. With just a photo and an iPhone app, I can create a video of any face saying, or singing, whatever I want.
And now so can you. The technology to create “deepfakes” — videos of people doing things that never really happened — has arrived on smartphones. It’s simple, fun … and also troubling.
When these strange times first started, when I first started working from home, the sun will shine directly at my seat at the computer right around 6pm.
Over the years, the sun shifted its position, and there wasn't a star to remind me the time to knock off work every evening.
Today, about one year later, I noticed the sun is back right around 6pm.
