Brian Buffington 🪄🧠🎸 Buff Nuggets

I didn’t start on big stages with spotlights and theater acoustics. Some of you attended some of my sessions that looked just like this. And I still love doing it. ❤️ Thanks to @tcjacketsbuzz for having me share a AI magic 🪄 today.

New Canva Feature! You can now upload flat images and @canva will magically create editable layers...Magic Layers. Canva just emailed me about this and I had to try it right away! Here's a super quick demo on how to get started.

"Information is cheap, application is priceless, connection is everything" @brianbuffington @peteandc

For high school students and those entering the work force… Portfolios aren’t just for creatives. Whether it’s LinkedIn or some other easily accessible website, you should FLEX 💪 what you’re good at, giving PROOF of what you’re able to contribute to a company. Amaze them.

@cesa7_walters @packers @CESA7 Jeff, it was a pleasure working with your regional K-12 leaders! Having an event at Lambeau Field has got to be one of the coolest things I’ve been a part of.

Thanks @packers for being such great hosts to our @CESA7 team and regional district and school leaders! @brianbuffington

I’m not a social media expert and put “most of my eggs” into direct-to-human email newsletters. But this ⬇️ is spot on in my mind. In general, we’re all becoming numb to the algorithms, hype, shock factor, brain rot, and impersonal content. Give me something real and…cringe

@BethanyITC @hmsmacon @AppleEDU @drpatticrane @Kevinadams55 @KevinAdams_EdS @mradcliff Thanks for sharing this! Including in Buff Nuggets this week.

@tonyvincent Quick and easy! Perfect for some holiday fun. Thanks for sharing it out!

Brian Buffington shared a fun idea in his Buff Nuggets newsletter. He uploaded a photo to Gemini and prompted it to change the outfits to a holiday theme! Read why he likes Gemini for image creation: mailchi.mp/fe3db7dd978e/b…

I know many teachers paying $20 a month for the service already. Built-in protections, data not used to train models by default , FERPA compliance. Can also be managed by district and administration. I feel like this is in response to the gains with Google AI for education.

@swilliams206 @suno The beauty of a nugget! Keep on making cool stuff!

@brianbuffington @suno This was fun to create. I love when I can take something from a conference and apply immediately! ##gcsDofIT

"Oh, Digital Drip, it don't stop, filling minds like raindrops!" 🎶💧 I had to shout out @iThinkHighDef and @MrColemanBrown for coordinating the whole vibe known as The Digital Drip! ☕️💻 🤩 Your work on this project is appreciated. Keep the knowledge flowing! 🧠✨ #gcsDofIT💪🏾

@swilliams206 @suno You did your homework and made a banger hit! That chorus is so🔥

Thanks to @brianbuffington, I was able to create this song with @suno. I couldn't edit the original post to give credit. 🤦🏿‍♀️

@JakeMRowe Just cook it anyways bro.

Me when I realize the bacon I was going to cook for Sunday morning breakfast is out of date.

@denk_tweets @beehiiv Correct.

@brianbuffington @beehiiv you're saying that those features aren't available on the free trial?

we just unveiled the biggest product updates in @beehiiv history at our first ever winter release event this isn’t just another platform update — it’s an entirely new operating system for the content economy I can’t wait to see what you build next 😈
