Google lance un outil en ligne pour vous amuser avec le machine learning. La firme de Mountain View n’en a pas fini de nous étonner et nous impressionner. Google a présenté dans un article un outil permettant de jouer avec le machine learning. Le concept est simple et n’utilisera que votre webcam pour faire fonctionner l’application. Vous aurez trois situations qui permettront d’activer trois actions différentes. Ces trois actions peuvent être le lancement d’un GIF, jouer un son, ou bien faire prononcer un mot par une voix synthétique.
Le tout, grâce au machine learning. Exemple de situation créée : montrer un fruit Pour ce qui est des trois situations, il vous faudra agir de trois façons différentes devant votre webcam.

A word processor requires very little—a blank page, typography tools, and a way to save, print, or share your finished documents. The earliest word processors like Word for DOS and WordPerfect offered little more than that. An update here, a new version there, and 30+ years later, word processors offer an embarrassment of riches with more tools than can fit in Word's tabbed toolbars. Google Docs took a simpler road, with a simple collection of core document formatting features bundled with its world-class collaboration tools. This makes it perfect for simpler documents worked on in groups, but should you want to do anything beyond collaborative word-processing, you may find yourself going back to Word and its many sub-menu functions. That's where add-ons come in. Google Docs's Add-ons menu boasts over three hundred tools that can help you build documents quicker, proofread your text, add graphics and equations and signatures, and publish your work the way you want.

Google Forms: Reuse Your Bell Ringer - Teacher Tech. Making new stuff every day = Tiring. Instead, just reuse the same Google Form every day and take advantage of sorting and filtering. Plan Carefully If you are going to reuse a Form you will want to consider what will happen when you reuse. This will be a learning process to be sure. Good news is you can always go back to the Google Form and add questions, remove questions, edit questions or change the question type.

This was a frustration for a classroom of students that were fairly new to using Screencastify.
