AI will transform education and Google appears to be making moves here.

The school of the future will look more like Gemini and Khan Academy than a traditional classroom.

[Google @Google]

We’re launching full-length, on demand practice exams for standardized tests in @GeminiApp, starting with the SAT, available now at no cost.

Practice SATs are grounded in rigorously vetted content in partnership with @ThePrincetonRev, and Gemini will provide immediate feedback highlighting where you excelled and where you might need to study more.

To try it out, tell Gemini, “I want to take a practice SAT test.”

We're preparing our first pair of Google Beam units to send out to military families so they can stay connected with their deployed service members overseas.

Excited to pilot with @The_USO on this and scale it up next year!

You can go to school and spend years trying to learn about great marketing.

Or you can spend a few minutes watching Steve Jobs - a marketing masterclass:

Amsterdam Falafel is closing and DC has lost a true icon.

[Tim Carman @timcarman]

I hate starting the week like this. I have sad news to pass along: @amsterdamdc, the shop that redefined late-night eating in AdMo, is closing on May 27th. The owner of the building wants to sell it.

This means that Arianne Bennett loses not just her business but her home.

@LeeCDinDC It’s an honor just to be nominated.

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

In 2010 my brother and I started posting educational videos because we had run out of ideas for our vlog.

Today, with @ASU and @Google, we’re launching https://t.co/ciWkOtX8iS a path from YouTube to real, transferable college credit, and I want to talk about why (and how).

[Ramya @ramya]

Woohoo!

SCOOP: The 2022 @NBA schedule will show NO Election Day games.

Instead, all 30 teams will play the Monday before on a themed “civic engagement night,” to encourage fans, players and staff to vote in this year’s midterm elections.

Overheard at a Berkeley elementary school graduation: “when I grow up, I want to be a professional actress and use my platform to advocate for women’s rights.” Lots of kids want to be doctors / nurses (COVID legacy?). Thankfully nobody said they wanted to be an influencer.
