Take a Stand & Lend a Hand in 4D ......


I am really into bringing learning to life and make connections with people.  This year I am promoting an Anti-Bullying campaign in 4D.  I asked my students and staff to help me by capturing our building taking a stand and lending a hand.  We had a week where everyone participated in spirit days.  On Tuesday "It was NO Sweat to stand up to bullying".  On Wednesday was National Blue Day, students wear blue to support standing up to bullying.  On Thursday we wore our Team colors to show we stand as a team against bullying.  On Friday we wore Red & Black to show we wanted to stop violence. During the week the technology students researched websites that they thought would help bring awareness to bullying and cyberbuylling.

We purchased a banner and asked everyone to sign it.  I used this banner and added an augmented reality twist to it.  When you scan the banner you will have an interactive experience.  I am currently going through all of the content to add to the interactive experience.  The augmented experience is live.  All you have to do is either scan the banner or a picture of the banner.  I will be adding more content to the experience in the next few days.

I am excited to have the opportunity to be a part of creating some of the lessons/activities for Elements 4D.  The augmented blocks are a great way to bring learning to life.  Students of all ages will enjoy exploring the elements with these amazing blocks.  The lessons are created by a variety of educators that each brought a unique perspective to the table.

I am currently working on bring more interactivity to chemistry along with other topics by creating lessons built around the 4D studio.

Hand in Hand ....

Hand in Hand ....

September is a remarkable month with the Wilson's.  It isn't only the start of school and being a teacher it is like Christmas in September with all the cool new school supplies.  It is an anniversary to my second chance at life.  In 2011 I received a life saving operation that allows me to be a mom to my outstanding, loving, caring, and amazing children as well as a wife to my husband. September is also the month that our little angel became an official Wilson.

I remember when she entered our lives five years ago.  I held her for two weeks straight and wouldn't let anyone else touch her.  She was my baby and I loved her dear.  When she left my arms she would cry so hard, it broke my heart.  Even though she was only 8 months old when she entered our lives she was a Wilson the moment she arrived and she knew it.

According to my Angel I am the Mom of the year, the century, for a LIFE Time.  I am her whole world and she is ours.  She loves her older brothers, they in return love and protect her.  She is also daddy's little girl.  I think she has him wrapped around her little finger.

Don't worry we protect her and her face will never be reviled in social media.  If you see pictures of little girls, don't worry they are my nieces and my great nieces or even students or photography subjects of mine. We are very protective of our little Angel.


Take a Stand and Lend a Hand in 4D ~ Coming Soon!

Take a Stand and Lend a Hand in 4D ~ Coming Soon!


The week of October 6th - 10th is Bully/Cyberbully awareness week.  During the week I asked our homeroom/AB classes at LMS to take pictures or create video clips how we can Take a Stand and Lend a Hand to Bullying/Cyberbullying. My technology classes did some research and come up with websites that help with internet safety and leaving a positive digital digital footprint.  Those websites will be added to our project.

During the Bullying/Cyberbullying week I asked all students 5-8th and staff to sign a banner I had put up.  My goal is to make the banner 4D.  When you scan the banner or a picture of the banner you will get an interactive experience how you can Take a Stand and Lend a Hand to stop Bullying/Cyberbullying.

I will post our Take a Stand and Lend a Hand campaign soon.  Be ready it will knock your socks off.  Thanks to an amazing staff and LMS students!

Bring Learning to Life One Classroom at a Time....

This fall I launched the 2nd year of the Global Digital Scrapbook Project.  My goal is to encourage others to bring augmented reality to their classroom.  I plan on posting in our global project ways I use augmented reality in my classroom.  If you are new to augmented reality start off simple with pre-made triggers such as the Dot Day coloring page by colAR.  My middle school students really love using this page and have a lot of fun interacting with it.

As I go through the school year I will continue to post in the global project ways my students are using augmented reality.  Feel free to join us and submit your class stories as well.

I also have a Google+ group just for educators to learn, share, and get help with augmented reality.  Feel free to join and share your stories, get some help, or learn more about AR.
