Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

252: Ideas for Using New AI Tools in Canva

Rebecca Brinkman from Rose and Bird unpacks some of the new AI tools in Canva. Rebecca was the guest on episode 210 – Taking Holiday Photos with Storytelling in Mind and 227 – Why all teens should learn Canva

All the tools available in Magic Studio and what they do

● Magic Edit (free) – Use the brush to select part of a photo and then use text to describe
what you want to regenerate to take that objects place
● Magic Design (free) – Generates images, clip art and videos (using Runway but only 5
credits available). Access in the Elements panel where it says “AI Image Generator.”
● Magic Write (available in free version but requires the use of a credit each time you use
it) – Text generation similar to ChatGPT.
● Magic Animate – applies different combinations of text and object animations to a design
or template with choices for different options.
● Magic Switch – similar to a tool Pro Canva has had for a while where you can resize from
one format – like a square Instagram post – to another size like for a Facebook post. The
resize part of it has expanded into all of the media forms and sizes they have available.
They have also added other tools inside this that will translate your text to another
language, convert your design to a doc for a summary, blog post and even song lyrics.
● Magic Morph – use this to convert text into dynamic shapes and forms.
● Magic Media – text to image and text to video generator similar to Midjourney.
● Magic Grab – makes it possible to select one element in a photo and move it to another
spot in the image or remove it altogether.
● Magic Expand – using generative AI to expand your image on one side.

Rebecca goes into detail on how to use the two free AI tools.

324: Free Online Curriculum In this episode, Meryl shares strategies and specific resources for stretching your homeschool budget by leveraging high-quality free curriculum. You’ll hear about four “all-in-one” programs, dozens of subject-specific tools, how to snag freebies from vendors, and tips for DIYing your own courses with AI assistance. 1. “All-in-One” Homeschool Curricula These comprehensive platforms give you daily lesson plans for multiple grades and subjects—often covering 80–90% of what you need. Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool (grades 8–12; Christian worldview, but easily adapted) Khan Academy (beyond math: science, history, arts; best as a supplement) Ambleside Online (Charlotte Mason style; public-domain “living books”; year-based levels) CK-12 Foundation (flexible “Flexbooks” in math, science, social studies, electives; built-in videos, quizzes, AI practice) 2. Subject-Specific Free Resources If you need only one or two subjects, pick and choose from these specialized platforms: Civics & Government : iCivics (interactive games & lessons) STEM & Finance : EverFi (STEM, history, health, personal finance) Coding : Code.org (full K–12 computer science courses) Personal Finance : Next Gen Personal Finance (games, interactives) Foreign Language : Duolingo (supplement), Mango Languages (library-provided) 3. Vendor “Freebies” in Exchange for Email Many curriculum publishers offer sample unit studies or mini-courses free when you subscribe: FundaFunda Academy – “ States of Matter ” unit study (grades 4–8) PeanutButterFish Lessons – weekly free unit studies for younger ages Music in Our Homeschool – free music-appreciation lessons Literary Adventures for Kids – curated reading lists by grade Seven Sisters Homeschool – three years of free high-school English outlines Tip: Use a spreadsheet or digital folder system (see Ep. 219 ) to track all your downloads, logins, and newsletter freebies. 4. DIY Curriculum with AI Assistance When you can’t find exactly what you need, build your own: Gather source materials : library books, YouTube Crash Course videos, open educational resources. Leverage AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) to generate: Lesson outlines Comprehension questions & quizzes Suggested projects & hands-on activities Grading rubrics and schedules Customize by age, credit requirements, and learning style.

322 : Online help for homeschool children with learning challenges Episode Summary: In this episode, Meryl chats with Krisa Wynn about Homeschool Heroes , an online platform designed to support homeschool families with children who have learning challenges — or as they call them, “unique learners.” Krisa shares how the platform provides free and paid resources, community groups, learning assessments, consultations, and quarterly day-off events for homeschoolers. Homeschool Heroes is an expansion of the original SPED Homeschool nonprofit, but now offers even more ways to connect, support, and empower homeschool families, including those dealing with ADHD, autism, trauma, and other special circumstances. Meryl and Krisa also discuss how Homeschool Heroes offers a better alternative to Facebook groups by avoiding algorithm issues, and allowing real peer-to-peer connection and expert access. Meryl shares how FundaFunda Academy (the show sponsor) also supports students with learning challenges through flexible, tech-integrated, asynchronous online classes. What You’ll Learn About: What Homeschool Heroes is and how it grew from SPED Homeschool Free resources available, including downloads for curriculum enrichment and high school support How the community groups work — even for free subscribers — and why they offer a better experience than Facebook groups The tagging system that helps homeschoolers find exactly the resources they need The Mindprint Learning cognitive assessment tool for identifying strengths and learning needs The quarterly “Homeschool Parent Day Off” events (next event: May 8, 2025 ) One-on-one consultation services for personalized homeschool help How Homeschool Heroes connects parents with trusted homeschool providers like FundaFunda Academy Important Links: Homeschool Heroes Website Register for the May 8th Day-Off Event (Free and online!)
