Transparency allows you to add objects into other pictures. So If I wanted to add the guy in the picture above, I would take a screen snip of him, save it, and make it transparent. Once saved as a transparent document, I can add his picture to another document and it looks great! The 5th person to reply to the Jer-Share email with #Winning wins a prize. :)

Not so good at drawing? AutoDraw is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to guess what you’re trying to draw. You start with a blank screen, begin sketching something, and AutoDraw gives you a strip of professionally illustrated images to choose from, based on what the tool thinks you’re trying to draw.

MIT Geometry Game Pilot!

Looking for a creative, hands-on twist on teaching geometry to your 7th – 10th grade students? Or are you interested in having your students try out a game-based assessment?

The MIT Education Arcade and Teaching Systems Lab are developing Shadowspect, an interactive computer game where players build 3D figures while developing their geometric, dimensional, and spatial reasoning skills. Students will access levels of increasing difficulty as they move and rotate spheres, cubes, and other important shapes in order to find creative solutions to modeling problems. Once the project is fully developed, the game will also collect data to assess mastery of 3D geometry, spatial reasoning, persistence, and creativity. Click here for more info and to sign up!
