Nike Run Club: A Guided Run and What I Learned

I used the Nike Run Club app to track my progress during a 20-minute guided run. I enjoyed the app; a male voice in my AirPods guided me through the entire 20 minutes, which helped motivate me to finish. The voice would speak at certain milestones, such as halfway and near the finish line. A drawback of this app is that the map tracking feature is not useful on a treadmill. This feature would be beneficial for outdoor runs to track your route. I realized this was a user error afterward—I was supposed to turn off the map icon to switch to indoor mode. Additionally, I had to hold the phone in my hand to get accurate measurements, which increased the potential for error.

Zombie Run

Zombie Run is a great suggestion for kids or anyone looking for an exciting engaging run with a story.

Here is how it works…

  1. Walk, jog or run anywhere in the world
  2. Hear your workout and music through your headphones
  3. If you’re chased by enemies, you’ll have to speed up!
  4. You’ll automatically collect supplies to trade for trophies or building

AI in the Classroom: Tools, Tips, and Cautions

Artificial intelligence systems work by using algorithms and data. Some major limitations of GENAI are unreliable sources. In a recent case, a Vancouver lawyer has been ordered to personally compensate her law team for wasted time, as the cases she submitted in an application were found to be ChatGPT that created fake cases. The article can be found here, Lawyer ordered to pay up for attempting to use ChatGPT ‘hallucinations’ in application.  It’s important for anyone using GenAi to fact check their information before using. GenAI tools are only as good as the information they are trained on. AI tools can generate false, biased, outdated, or completely made-up information. It is up to us, the user, to fact check that information.
