FantasyClass: Gamification
cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/35369274
If you're thinking about doing some gamification in your classes next year, I found a website that can help. FantasyClass is an opensource website ( Github ) that can help keep track of student points, XP, levels, and items. It can help your class tell a collective story together throughout the year.

Error Message trying to upload an image.
I tried creating a post with an image in it. I got the following error message displayed in my browser:
{"data":{"files":null,"msg":"Too wide"},"state":"success"}
Is there something wrong with my image? I was trying to reupload this one from reddit: https://preview.redd.it/2jxm187wf4a81.png?width=11320&format=png&auto=webp&s=494d575dd3110b67b37b1c67afa9e713fd258a07
Should I try again after resizing?
Community: Every Subway storyline (especially the Britta relationship)
A few questions:
- Was there a time limit?
- How much did it cost?
I think it's probably because this is a repost article.
An earlier version of this article was published in 2019.
TL:DR: They don't need to listen to you. They already track "your metadata"
"To make it happen, Facebook would need to record everything your phone hears while it's on,” Garcia-Martinez explained in 2017. “This is functionally equivalent to an always-on phone call from you to Facebook. Your average voice-over-internet call takes something like 24 kbps one way, which amounts to about 3 kBs of data per second. Assume you've got your phone on half the day, that's about 130 MBs per day, per user. There are around 150 million daily active users in the US, so that's about 20 petabytes per day, just in the US. To put that in perspective, Facebook's entire data storage is 'only' about 300 petabytes, with a daily ingestion rate of about 600 terabytes.”
But there are scores of other data points the system has on you to determine what you should see at any given point. Not only does the system know exactly where you are at every moment, it knows who your friends are, what they are interested in, and who you are spending time with. It can track you across all your devices, log call and text metadata on Android phones, and even watch you write something that you end up deleting and never actually send.
Agreed, the Android games have been better than nothing. But I hope we get more platforms.

Tech Tool: Podsie, Classroom Flashcard Tool with Spaced Repetition
Here's a tool that I haven't seen posted on here that I'm using in my class this year. It's a nonprofit owned tool (and not self promotion).
What I was looking for:
- I wanted something like Anki for individual student daily review. But I wanted a way to grade the quick practice (for the start of class). I also wanted a way to give them credit for doing their reviews in class or as homework.
Why I like it:
- I can make the cards
- Students get individual reviews based on how they did on that card in the past.
- Students can be given a grade for doing their reviews, no matter how they preform on them. (Making low stakes practice get points)
- Cards can be tied to standards
What I don't necessarily like:
- I have to make all cards (there is an AI tool, but I haven't gotten wide success with it)
- There's not a cloze type card (Multiple fill-in-the-blanks get converted to multiple cards)
Could you pivot to another game like One Piece TCG?

Favorite Mystery/Puzzle games?
I've been playing The Case of the Golden Idol this week and I love how it doesn't pull punches and how I actually have to figure things out without a multiple choice quiz.
A rarely mentioned cute little puzzle game that you might like is called Carto.

Recommendations Wanted: Digital Whiteboard
Hey All!
I've been a longtime Doceri user and its lack of support (since January 2023) has finally bit me. It's time once again to find new software (and possibly hardware) to become a digital whiteboard.
Here's my current setup:
- Classroom Desktop Windows PC connected to a projector running Doceri and PowerPoint
- Apple iPad running Doceri
- Unused Apple TV connected to projector via another input
Here's my preferred requirements:
- Ability to annotate presentation docs / pdfs
- One time cost (in the hundreds are fine) preferred, but a low yearly/monthly cost (in the $50 range or less) is also acceptable
- The ability to walk around wirelessly
- The ability to record 20 - 60 minute videos (preferrably able to upload to YouTube)
- I would love to transition to an Android tablet with a stylus
Anyone have any suggestions that they've tried? I understand that I could screen record / screen share for the iPad, but I'm also looking for a new whiteboard app.

Looking for a Python Interpreter
I'm looking for an Android python compiler interpreter that runs locally on my phone. Any suggestions are appreciated. FOSS apps preferred of course.
Edit: changed compiler to interpreter
Edit 2: I ended up going with Pydroid3. I wish there was a FOSS alternative.
Anyone else not able to create Amazon Prime watch parties?
Sorry, I don't know of a community to post this in. However, anyone else having trouble creating watch parties?
I am no longer able to host watch parties on things that are free on prime. I can however, start a watch party for seasons/movies I "own" through amazon.
Edit: Put own in quotes.
