Poe
Of couse this would happen: there are so many LLMs out there that one can use & now we need some kind aggregator & here is one of them: https://poe.com/about
Backcountry Ski Routes in the Presidential Range of New Hampshire
Well-done in CalTopo: https://caltopo.com/m/4U821FC
This would be great as a Story Map with linked / embedded pics & videos.

Padlet!
Ah yes...we all used Padlet during COVID, but many of us (certainly me) have stopped using Padlet now that we are F2F again. But Padlet still works great, for example:
- Video Discussion Board where the students post one relevant video for a topic, for example ozone & global warming.
- Or, do the same with figures.
- There is also a Video Recorder where they could record a brief video of themselves talking into the camera.
Unfortunately, the free version of Padlet is limited to just 3 'padlets'...not sure how you could in-practice use that for daily teaching.

GeoSpy
GeoSpy can geoference photographs without any spatial information & apparently it works quite well - more @ https://flowingdata.com/2025/01/23/geolocating-photos-automatically/
That's pretty cool & also scary...no hiding anymore from the AI...

Teens & Social Media
Teens, Social Media and Technology 2024 by the Pew Research Center leads with this chart. Not sure what to make of it, but 1) YouTube rules, 2) TikTok & Instagram & Snapchat are important, 3) Twitter is irrelevant, and 4) Facebook is holding steady after dropping like a rock.
An Extremely Detailed Map of the 2024 Election
An Extremely Detailed Map of the 2024 Election by the NYT shows the 2024 election results down to the precint level & the data are available as well!
The Copernicus Interactive Climate Atlas
The Copernicus Interactive Climate Atlas is awesome - have a look! You can display measurements, reanalysis, and model data at all kinds of geographies & time scales. And: download the data in a bunch of formats.
It is just too much...nobody will use it. Expert scientists will access the data directly and the general public will scared off by the complexity. This is really designed for the rare 'regular' person who is interested & competent enough to figure-out the tool.
Suggestion: Make a simplified version or walk-through video.
Tourism & AI
Cool combination of tourism & AI: Google Talking Tours. Here Google combines Street View images & panoramas with an AI-generated narrative. Currently this only covers some 55 major sites, but you can easily envison this for literally anywhere.
