Could AI be the game-changer that revives this once dearly loved but now defunct device?
Next, imagine a keyboard that could take your gaming and typing experiences to the next level. We discuss a cutting-edge magnetic, pressure-sensitive keyboard that mimics joystick movements and pedal pressure for an immersive experience.

From phishing to Zoom bombing, the risks are real, but so are the solutions. We discuss the importance of immutable backup storage, encryption, and other cybersecurity best practices to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Wrapping up, we delve into the transformative role of AI and technology in the classroom, from AI-assisted grading to immersive virtual field trips. Join us to hear firsthand experiences and insights into how technological advancements are reshaping the educational landscape for both teachers and students.
