The truth is, I don't use those modern AI tools much. I'm not doing much coding and when I do, I've been using Clojure or Elisp - not so mainstream so as to have all sorts of AI support. For writing? I prefer do to it myself. Anything else? Well, to be honest, there's not too much going on in my life where I feel like AI will improve things.

Based on some of the feedback I got on my last post, I thought I'd dive a little deeper on using slide decks. I had some people tell me that they too found that slide decks didn't work for them while others shared that they use them regularly. Still others shared how they specifically used them. Now, as I said, they don't work for me. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

The other day I read Kristin Stephens-Martinez's latest blog post talking about how she has started to insert a daily plan slide at the front of her class slide decks. Stephens-Martinez, you might know, hosts the CS-Ed Podcast which I very much enjoy even if the episode lengths never quite go long enough for my morning run which is my primary podcast listening time. Here, the blog post talked about what Stephens-Martinez described as the "teaching practice" of creating a slide and putting it at the front of the daily class slide deck.
