EdTechSR Ep 215 Advertising is Complicated

Welcome to episode 215 ("Advertising is Complicated") of the EdTech Situation Room from April 14, 2021, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) discussed Google's new advertisement targeting technology initiative, privacy and advertisement-opt out tools, and Google search's new product review prioritization changes. Slowdowns with AMD Ryzen Chromebooks. videoconferencing improvements in Chrome 90, and Google Lens OCR capabilities coming to the desktop were also highlighted. The continued advance of Moore's Law and artificial intelligence, Apple's upcoming "Spring Loaded" event predictions, Tim Cook's "flea market" opinion of Epic Games' lawsuit, and the new FCC speed test app were discussed. The importance of a 'digital will' and 23 year old coder who kept QAnon online were articles rounding out this week's show. Geeks of the Week included a video on selecting a backyard BBQ smoker and the image background removal tool, remove.bg.
