Steps to Use Pixel Art by AliceKeeler

  1. Open ANY spreadsheet or use sheets.new.
  2. Use the Extensions menu to locate Pixel Art by AliceKeeler
  3. Insert Sheet
  4. Type numbers or letters

A new sheet is added to your spreadsheet that is formatted into small squares. When you type a number between 0 and 100 or use a letter it corresponds to a color to allow you to make a picture!

In 2024 Creativity is King

I have ChatGPT 4. I can now just ask it to make me a picture to go along with something I wrote. For this blog post on using Pixel Art to visualize cutting up brownies I pasted a paragraph and ChatGPT popped this out!

Students at a computer

I updated 10 Outdated Teaching Techniques with images very quickly using ChatGPT.

🐇 A lot of what I could do in the past I can now do faster and better using Artificial Intelligence, or some kind of technology!

⌨️ For over 20 years I have been using Google Search when I forgot something. How important is it really that I can quickly regurgitate something "on Tuesday" for the test?

If robots can do it... then what do humans do?

🎨 Creativity!!!

As Dave Burgess says, creativity is something you practice!!

You can't say you are not creative! Of course you are! But it is a SKILL that must be practiced and valued.

How will you help your students practice being creative?

🚫 Tip: If they are answering the same things as the person next to them... it is not a creative task.

🎊 Start 2024 with some pixel art!! Ask students to make you a picture that represents... Use TemplateTab to have all students in the same spreadsheet!

👋 Have a great, and creative, 2024!!!
