Me: Can you draw a very normal image?
ChatGPT: Here is a very normal image depicting a tranquil suburban street scene during the daytime.
Me: Not bad, but can you go more normal than that?

The isolator helmet was a device invented by Hugo Gernsback in 1925 to help people concentrate and eliminate distractions. The helmet was made of wood and felt, and had three pieces of glass that allowed the wearer to see only a narrow slit in front of them.
The helmet also blocked out all sounds, and had a tube that supplied oxygen to the wearer. The idea was that by isolating the senses, the wearer could focus better on reading or writing.
However, the helmet also had some drawbacks, such as making the wearer drowsy after 15 minutes, and being very bulky and uncomfortable. Gernsback claimed that the helmet was 90-95% efficient in blocking out noise, but he only made 11 helmets and they disappeared by 1926. The isolator helmet was featured in Gernsback’s magazine Science and Invention, and later inspired other similar devices such as the Helmfon.

🔎Looking for an activity that uses several of the micro:bit (V2) features at the same time? Check out this from @jse_CSUB: they used the magnetometer, radio AND data logging in this car & ramp experiment. Great to see the micro:bit used in other curriculum areas!

@microbit_edu@Bree_Gage@csubted@doctor2pi We are happy to see 5th-7th grade students working toward an 8th grade CCSS-Math standard while also getting data science fundamentals during a summer learning experience here at Fairfax School District.
@microbit_edu@Bree_Gage@csubted@doctor2pi Exactly, both timing gates send a “trigger” to the display hub, which stores the running time from both gates. That calculated elapsed time is what is being stored with the data logger extension. See code in picture.
@microbit_edu@Bree_Gage@csubted@doctor2pi Hello @microbit_edu, we have programmed two microbits to serve as timing gates that send their start and stop times (gate A and B) to a third micro:bit "hub" which is making good use of the new data logger extension. Both timing gates are triggered by the magnetometer.

Q2: This is a different type of question for our Slow Chat. I am interested in hearing about some of the educators you may be following on social media and why? #csubEDTE4200@csubted@jse_CSUB
