Fitbit food logging and other new app features start going live

The Fitbit app on Android is being updated to version 4.66, which includes new features such as food and mood logging capabilities. The update is being rolled out in stages, and many users, including those with the Google Pixel 10 Pro, may not have immediate access. Food logging has been revamped and can be accessed via the Gemini coach button for public preview users, while standard users can still log meals using the “+” button. The update also enhances hydration tracking, allowing users to log water under the label “log water.” The navigation bar has been redesigned, replacing the Coach and You tabs with Fitness, Sleep, and Health tabs. The Health tab now includes new Focus Areas like Nutrition and Mental Wellbeing. The rollout is expected to continue over the coming days.

BETT 2026: Microsoft reveals major Copilot, AI, and Minecraft Education updates | ETIH EdTech News

Microsoft showcased a comprehensive update to its education platform at BETT 2026, integrating AI tools like Copilot into Microsoft 365, Teams for Education, Learning Accelerators, and Minecraft Education. The new Teach module allows educators to create lesson plans aligned with standards from over 35 countries, generate rubrics, and modify reading levels. Minecraft Education lesson plan creation using Copilot is set to enter preview in February 2026. Microsoft introduced a Study and Learn agent for students, designed to support independent learning through tailored interactive activities, with a preview scheduled for January 2026. The program emphasizes AI literacy through Minecraft Education, helping students recognize AI in tools, understand algorithms, and develop critical evaluation skills. Learning Accelerators will expand with a new Microsoft 365 LTI for LMS integration, allowing full integration of Microsoft 365 apps and Copilot into learning management systems by Spring 2026. Microsoft also addressed AI misuse concerns, introducing assignment-level controls for educators to define acceptable AI usage, with previews scheduled for February 2026.
