I am a maker! This video shows the Morse Code generator/trainer that I created as an introductory Arduino project. I used the Elego Super Starter Kit which goes for about $30 right now on Amazon. I used three tutorials for the bits and pieces: Green LED; Push Button; 1602 LCD Module. I then wrote C code to write the Arduino sketch that makes it all work together. I am looking forward to making more and more fun electronics video in the future. But what to make next?

Hi Brad, What a fun project! This looks like a great way to motivate students to apply what they're learning.

Thanks! I'd like to think it'd be at least a little something different for them to try.

Otter processes your audio or video files - in real time or after they are created - and generates a text file with a transcript. It automatically recognizes and designates different speakers, and allows you to give them names before downloading the text file. The fee tier gives 600 minutes of transcription per month. I am uploading my lecture videos after they are generated, and posting the transcriptions in my LMS for students.

My question to pose with it would be, how might we frame casino schools for online learning? #TT2021 All the best, Viggy (C.A.)

As much as I appreciated this article for how it addresses the benefits of an avatar with virtual reality learning, I mostly appreciated the real-world support VR could offer-including virtual reality field trips. Discovery Education and Google Expeditions seem to be frontrunners for virtual reality field trips. However, I would also like to support my students in creating their own virtual reality locales/research sites. All the best, Viggy (C.A.) #TT2021

Colleges and universities are beginning to embrace social media and realizing the potential power and implications for using it as a component of their overall marketing mix.
