Requirements to Use SharePlay on Your Mac There is currently no word on when it plans to bring along FaceTime SharePlay support. As you might have noticed, Netflix is also missing from the content pool. Some movies and TV shows may not support SharePlay across different countries or regions.Īlso, popular streaming apps like Disney+, ESPN, HBO Max, Hulu, MasterClass, Twitch, and others will gain SharePlay support soon. Also, note that all SharePlay participants must have a subscription to participate in a watch party on FaceTime. Since macOS 12 Monterey and iOS 15 are still new, it’s only a matter of time before other streaming services join the party.īear in mind that some supported apps may require a subscription to enable co-watching. Which Apps and Services Have SharePlay Support?Ĭurrently, there are only a handful of apps and services that support SharePlay. Yeah, that’s precisely what puts SharePlay ahead of the curve. So, when one of the participants bursts into laughter, others are not left scratching their heads. They allow all the users in the FaceTime call to control the playback seamlessly as well as stream content at the same time, without any delays. What I like about SharePlay are the synced playback and shared controls. Thanks to the seamless integration with Apple devices, including iPad, iPhone, Mac, and Apple TV, SharePlay makes co-watching a simple experience. Other services, including Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu, have supported co-watching features for some time now. While this virtual watch party feature is exciting, it’s not a new concept. SharePlay is a screen-sharing feature that allows you to watch movies and TV shows together over FaceTime. What is SharePlay and Does It Work on Mac?

Reverting words back to what you typed is easier. Apple fixes 'ducking' autocorrectĪutocorrect will become more intelligent and can fix more grammatical mistakes. In iOS 17, you'll be able to just swipe to reply on any message bubble. This could be a killer feature for managing group chats. It sits in the top right of your conversation and lets you jump to the first message you haven't read. There's also a new "catch up arrow" in Messages. If you're someone who has friends or family members who send you audio messages, you'll be able to read a transcription of the recording right in the Messages app. When you start a search in the Messages app, you will be able to add terms to narrow the results.Īnother welcome addition is transcription for audio messages. Searching through your Messages becomes a lot easier on iOS 17 with the addition of filters. The tried-and-true Messages app gets a handful of updates, including a visual overhaul of your iMessage apps which will no longer live above your keyboard and instead be accessible via a plus sign on the bottom left. The Messages app will get transcriptions for audio messages in iOS 17. Topalidis P., Florea C., Eigl E.-S., Kurapov A., Leon C.A.B., Schabus M.

Further studies are needed to evaluate their use for medical purposes, inside and outside of the sleep laboratory. The accuracy of the vital data measurement was adequate. If precise data on sleep stages and parameters are required, their use is limited. The use of the multisport activity trackers for sleep analysis can only be recommended for general daily use and for research purposes. Both commercial trackers Garmin and Polar did not detect any daytime sleep at all during the MSLT test. Garmin and Polar overestimated light sleep and underestimated deep sleep, Garmin significantly, with MAE up to 64.94 min and MAPE up to 116.50%. Garmin showed significant deviations for sleep stages (p < 0.045), while Polar only showed significant deviations for sleep cycle (p = 0.000), r < 0.50. The highest MAE was 50.35 min and the highest MAPE was 83.02% for WASO for Garmin and ActiGraph GT9X Polar had the highest MAE of 21.17 min and the highest MAPE of 141.61% for SOL. The trackers significantly underestimated awake times (WASO + SOL) with weak correlation, r = 0.11−0.57. ActiGraph GT9X results were inconspicuous. Polar also had an overestimation of TST, with MAE of 45.08 min and MAPE of 13.80%. Garmin had significant overestimation of TST, with MAE of 84.63 min and MAPE of 25.32%. For TIB and TST, all three trackers showed medium to high correlation, r > 0.42. Both commercial trackers showed high accuracy in measuring vital data (HR, HRV, SpO2, respiratory rate), r > 0.92. Sleep parameters, time in bed (TIB), total sleep time (TST), wake after sleep onset (WASO), sleep onset latency (SOL), awake time (WASO + SOL), sleep stages (light, deep, REM sleep) and the number of sleep cycles were compared. Forty-nine adult patients with suspected sleep disorders (30 males/19 females) completed a one-night PSG sleep examination followed by a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). Two commercial multisport activity trackers (Garmin Forerunner 945 and Polar Ignite) and the accelerometer ActiGraph GT9X were evaluated in measuring vital data, sleep stages and sleep/wake patterns against polysomnography (PSG). While Docs and Slides come with a variety of pre-set colors, sometimes those colors just aren’t enough. Simply install the extension and you’re good to go. Love showing and sharing YouTube videos in class, but worry about having to skip through the ads each time you play a video? Adblock is a simple extension that eliminates the need to fret about inappropriate advertising content. If you use Google Classroom, you can send out PDFs to students using the “Make a Copy for Each Student” feature, and students can open the PDF with Kami if they have the extension installed as well. Previously, my students had to do most of their annotations paper-and-pencil style, and there was no great way to annotate digitally unless the file was a Google Doc (so they could use the basic text colors, highlight and comment features). Kami is also a great tool for teaching students how to annotate digital texts. With Kami, I can do all of that digitally now, and my desk area is so much neater as a result. I personally love Kami because I HATE having loose paper around, but I constantly found myself having to print documents and lessons so I could highlight and color code them by hand. Kami is an extension that works with Google Drive and Classroom, so both you and your students can annotate PDFs, documents (Word, Docs, Excel, Sheets) and image files (.JPG. Thanks to Kami, my search is finally over. I’ve been looking for a good PDF annotator for a while now. All my favorite Bitmojis are now at the tips of my fingertips, and the drag-and-drop feature can’t possibly make using Bitmojis any easier. It’s also available an app and keyboard option for iOS (and I’m assuming Android too, but I don’t really know because iOS is life).īefore I knew about the Chrome extension, I saved all my favorite Bitmojis from the app to a Google Drive folder so I could easily insert them in my Google Docs and Slides, but the Chrome extension makes that process so much smoother. Similar to the Emoji keyboard extension from my original post, Bitmoji is another 100% necessary Chrome extension for anyone looking to jazz up their online communication. You can visit the post here: How to Wow Your Students with QR Code Word Walls and her blog here: Doc Cop: Research-Based Resources for Higher-Order Teaching. Make sure to check out her post for some neat ideas and a free download. Jenna Copper has a super informative post on how she uses QR codes in her classroom to enrich vocabulary instruction with interactive word walls. For example, during conferences this year, I made signs with a goo.gl link and QR code to our school’s online newspaper I then hung them on the backs of the chairs, which gave parents something to read while they waited in my crazy long line. You can also include shortened links and QR codes on handouts and/or posters for easy reference at any time. I often post links for students to Google Classroom, but it can sometimes take a while for students to get logged in if they aren’t already therefore, projecting a shortened link or QR code is often quicker and more direct. Goog.gl URL Shortener also doubles as a QR code generator, which makes sharing websites and resources with students (and parents) even easier. This means you can easily shorten the URL of any webpage or Google Drive item - and if you're wondering why you might want to do that, have you seen how long those Drive links can be?! Another neat thing about using the goo.gl URL shortener is the analytics, so you can quickly monitor clicks and referring sites for each URL you shorten, if that’s your kind of thing. Goo.gl URL Shortener is a user-friendly extension that provides quick access to Google’s URL Shortener service. If anyone knows of a good replacement, please let me know! UPDATE: It appears this Chrome extension is no longer active. So for today’s post, I present you with: 5 more must-use Chrome extensions for teachers! 1. There are so many helpful, time-saving and just plain fun Chrome extensions, and choosing just 5 proved to be a difficult task. Not surprisingly, while writing my original post, I had a bit of trouble narrowing down my favorites. Chrome extensions, as noted in the original post, are these neat little programs that extend the functionality of your Chrome browser - and you should definitely be using them if you aren't already. A little while ago, I wrote about my 5 favorite Chrome extensions for teachers. Hepatitis B infection has been preventable by vaccination since 1982. Liver transplantation is sometimes recommended for cases of cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. In those who develop chronic disease, antiviral medication such as tenofovir or interferon may be useful however, these drugs are expensive. During an initial infection, care is based on a person's symptoms. It is one of five main hepatitis viruses: A, B, C, D, and E. The diagnosis is usually confirmed by testing the blood for parts of the virus and for antibodies against the virus. The infection can be diagnosed 30 to 60 days after exposure. The hepatitis B viruses cannot be spread by holding hands, sharing eating utensils, kissing, hugging, coughing, sneezing, or breastfeeding. Tattooing and acupuncture led to a significant number of cases in the 1980s however, this has become less common with improved sterilization. Other risk factors include working in healthcare, blood transfusions, dialysis, living with an infected person, travel in countries with high infection rates, and living in an institution. In areas where the disease is rare, intravenous drug use and sexual intercourse are the most frequent routes of infection. In areas where the disease is common, infection around the time of birth or from contact with other people's blood during childhood are the most frequent methods by which hepatitis B is acquired. The virus is transmitted by exposure to infectious blood or body fluids. Most of those with chronic disease have no symptoms however, cirrhosis and liver cancer eventually develop in about 25% of those with chronic HBV. About 90% of those infected during or shortly after birth develop chronic hepatitis B, while less than 10% of those infected after the age of five develop chronic cases. The likelihood of developing chronic hepatitis B is higher for those who are infected with HBV at a younger age. An HBV infection lasting longer than six months is usually considered chronic. Deaths resulting from acute stage HBV infections are rare. Symptoms during acute infection typically last for a few weeks, though some people may feel sick for up to six months. For others, symptoms may appear 30 to 180 days after becoming infected and can include a rapid onset of sickness with nausea, vomiting, yellowish skin, fatigue, dark urine, and abdominal pain. Many people have no symptoms during an initial infection. It can cause both acute and chronic infection. Hepatitis B is an infectious disease caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) that affects the liver it is a type of viral hepatitis. Intravenous drug use, sexual intercourse, dialysis, living with an infected person Īntiviral medication ( tenofovir, interferon), liver transplantation Ĩ20,000 resulting from hepatitis B (2019) Hepatitis B virus spread by some body fluids Symptoms may take up to 6 months to appear None, yellowish skin, tiredness, dark urine, abdominal pain This visualization is especially great for teaching because the data are manageable (only twenty-eight data points) and there are a variety of visualization options. I call these parallel coordinate plots instead of slope charts because slope charts show changes over time. For each of seven cities, they show the racial composition of police departments relative to the populations they serve. To demonstrate, let’s look at this set of small multiple parallel coordinate plots from a 2014 Bloomberg News story. In particular, the Sankey is probably not best suited to facilitate comparisons between different metrics. Note the compromise away from a precise Sankey to just a scale-relative line scheme.Īnother tool I’ve used for demo, education and exploration in the past for fast real-time edits and SVG export of a Sankey is Sankey-matic: its got a host of other limitations, but its fast and simple.Second, they are also not suitable for every type of comparison we would like to make. Here’s a board I’m working on for a project-finance client now. manually making them tidy with lots of designery fiddling, and then stacking them into presentations in a Miro board, whereby the story of the data or the system can be brought to life… but I’d love for this to be, like you’re alluding to, much more automatic, real-time, for data story telling purposes. To that point, I generally end up building out a lot of sankey/flow iterations into samples/scenarios/stages, etc. So… ya, the whole enterprise of data-precise Sankey in Miro is pretty fraught at the moment and limited to small window of solutions, mostly for 1 off artifact creation, premade, for presentation purposes. Here we’ve got a decent looking Sankey in Miro. Text under the default minimum of 10 - meaning you have to create size with a corner drag resize of text element. Not that much of an issue - but kind of an issue when you try to resize a bunch of text at once. And some of the issues with it highlighted. Here’s some examples of ‘manually created’ Sankey. But- this arrangement could give people a sandbox of traceable links, to tinker with 1 or more Sankeys from 1 or more sources all from 1 Friedo But the iFrame of the Sankey (assuming it’s live updated from changes made from its source Google sheet) will be quarantined in a lightbox (iframe just sits there on the board with no image just a big play button until, on click, board background gets a dark overlay and the iFrame is displayed alone with the refreshed image from that iFrame target site) which really isn’t much different than traveling to another web page…so as a Miro feature, I’ve found in the user community, it tends to disappoint more often than delight. I suppose you could bring the Sankey in as an iFrame and also embed the Google sheet in Miro also - which can be live updated without leaving the Miro board - which is awesome …. Then trace over it with lines and shapes. I have, on occasion, sped up the manual creation process by bringing in the Sankey as an image. Some Sankey lovers enjoy line colors that gradient from target color to source color… also not abailable in Miro currently. > If it weren’t for these inherent line thickness limitations, I would have built a Miro plugin for Sankey import/live update long ago. I’ll find my self in a Sankey that small dealing with size 4 or less text. If you keep your manually-created Sankey very small and make the accuracy compromises due to line thickness steps, you can get the lines to almost match the sizes of the boxes… but at that size, you’re so small that text sizes become an issue (you now go smaller in text sizes than the default minimum of 10). Not as data in any useful way.įurthermore, if you recreate a Sankey manually in Miro- you’ll find yourself immediately disappointed that Miro has very limited line thicknesses( only a small set, and they increment in doubling steps (so you’ll have more inherent accuracy compromises). Sadly at this moment…You can only import the Sankey as an image. Sankey might be my favorite of all charts! |
