WHY USE AR CHALLENGES - THE SERIES ... PART 1

I've been asked to help others in dipping their toes so to speak into the water and start exploring the possibilities of augmented reality (a.k.a. AR) in education. To help build the support line in learning how to incorporate augmented reality in education I am developing a series of challenges. My goal is to launch each new challenge via my podcast as well as develop an ebook to support the learning process. As each challenge is completed the participants will also be able to earn a badge.

We will start with using pre-made triggers and work our way through the challenges until you and your students are creating one of a kind augmented experiences.

ONE APP AT A TIME...

For the 1st challenge we will be dipping our toes into the AR pool and you will need makers, crayons, or colored pencils. Once you have your supplies I want you to take a look at the following picture to the right.
Questions I want you to think about:

What is the name of this character?
Where do you think this character lives?
What kind of job does this character have?
Where do you think this character is going?
Now click on the file below and print it out.

After you have printed out the picture color it. As you are coloring I want to think about a the following:

What types of characteristics does your character have?
What kind of day is your character having?
Is your character going on a journey? Late for work or school?
What does your character like to do for fun?
What is your character's favorite food, activities, colors, animals, and etc...
After you are done coloring your picture it is time to write your character's story. In your story describe where your character is and what your character is doing. Tell us what is your character like? Where your character might be going?

Take a picture of your colored image and added it to your story. I suggest using Google Docs to write your story.
Share your story via social medial using the hashtage #TechieEdu and #AR4Learning.

Download the File

Adding AR to Your Story:

Augmented reality is a tool that can be used to enhance the learning experience. Using this simple augmented coloring page will help take the writing process to the next level and add a spin to your story.

The app you will need to download is Chromville. Chromville is an augmented reality company from Greenland that is bringing characters to life. Once you have the app downloaded you will scan the picture you have colored.

How to Scan:

Launch App
Tap Play
Tap Dana
Hold the iPad/Tablet over your colored image
When the red rectangle turns green you will get a message not to move.
Your augmented experience will then appear.

The augmented trigger I gave you is a labyrinth. You can interact with your character you colored and move your character through the labyrinth. Now that your character has made it through the labyrinth it is time to revise your story. For your revision you will need to add obstacles your character needs to over come.

After you have revised your story it is time to share it. Share your story using social media use the hashtag #TechieEdu and #AR4Learning.

Coloring pages from augmented reality companies can add a new depth to the learning process. They can be used to brainstorm settings, characters, events, obstacles, and etc... They can also be used to help develop the writing process as well as rewriting skills.

Tips:

I like to reveal the app that is needed after students have their rough draft completed and have colored the AR trigger.
Mix up the different AR coloring trigger pages, this keep the kids guess which app to they need to use.

Take the Green-Screen Challenge - #TechieEdu!

Have you watched the weather report and wonder how in the heck did they get that map or video to play behind them. You and your students can create projects just like the weather man broadcasts the weather report with one simple iPad tool.

Green-Screen Project Ideas:

Teacher in-Residence - Teachers could pre-record a lesson for the substitute so that class could go on as usual. Once shared with students, they could return to the lesson again and again as needed
Historical Role-Play - Teachers could have students re-enact different historical events either using the portable green screen with props or the larger green screen with themselves.
Historical Reporting - Students could use the green screen to create a journalistic approach to report important things that have happened in the past.

Reflection of Discover Magnet....

I had the pleasure of presenting to a great group of Wichita educators. I shared with them how I have used an app that helps my students and myself create one of a kind green-screen projects. I enjoyed watching the teachers brainstormed ways they could use this app in their classroom. I loved watching them create their own mini video clip using the white board in front of the room or one of the mini green-screen that I brought along with me.

With the Veescope Live app you do not need a green-screen to use it. I showed the teachers in my session how to use the plain white board as the "green-screen". You can use any solid color background, it is best you do not use a brown background since it is very close to skin color. I also had 4 pizza boxes that I had transformed into mini green-screens. I brought along with me a few characters for the teachers to play with so that they could experience creating mini green-screen project.

For most of the day I was the augmented reality guru on campus. I showed teachers how to use already pre-made augmented triggers. Teachers had a chance to experience how these triggers work. I loved watching them play and discuss how they thought augmented reality worked. We collaborated on ways we could use these pre-made triggers in the classroom and started sharing on a Padlet board. Throughout the day the teachers shared about my augmented reality session. I needed up having several teachers come and
ask for my business card which was augmented and the resources I shared.

Towards the end of the day I shared ways teachers and students could start creating their own augmented reality experiences. It was truly a great day of learning.

Portable Mini Green-Screen....

One of the projects I like to do with my 6th grade students is "On the Scene Reporter". I have a wall in my classroom painted green, for our staging area that I normally use for this project. My students are normally the reporter giving a report on Ancient Greece. Since this will be my 3rd time doing this project I have to switch it up just a little. I've been planning a workshop for teachers on Green-Screen projects and it hit me how I could switch it up and still be a green-screen project, I need portable mini green-screens. It just happened to be Super Bowl day and we just happened to have gotten some extra large pizzas from the store so I had a few boxes to play with. Since the pizza boxes had a window I decided to paint the inside and the back of the box, this way I could use both sides. I could use the box as a regular green-screen or flip it and have a puppet show / animation stage green-screen style.

Puppet Show / Animation Stage

I choose a pizza box because it is flatter and can stand up by itself. Which will make it easier to travel with and to store. As I played around with the box and the green-screen app Veescope I did noticed that you had to be careful with lighting and shadows. I also noticed that some of my props or actors were a little on the short side so I took another box and painted it green to make a platform for them to stand on. My little actors can now blend in better with the background image or video.

One of the reasons I decided to create a mini green-screen was because I have a few students who love Legos and I know they would create some amazing stories using green-screen and their Legos. I also have a few shy students who refuse to stand in front of a camera and give a report. Having a mini green-screen would give them an option to still do the project but use an actor to replace them as the reporter. They would still have to add their voice either at the time of recording or overlay it with the iMovie app. Either way it is a win, win situation. My students are now not only the reporter but now they can be a director, producer, casting director, writer, and agent.

Paint a smaller box for a platform.

Having a portable mini green-screen would also allow my students to record anytime and anywhere. Giving them a choice on how they can do their green-screen projects opens the door to their creativity.

Project Ideas:

On the Scene Reporter
Puppet Show
Book Trailer / Report
Use Paper Dolls / Print out of famous people & make them move and tell their story.
Wear a Green Glove and Make the Actors Move
Paint Bamboo Skewers Green and Attach them to the Props & Actors to Make Them Move
Use Explain Everything and work out a math problem. Use that recording as the background in the Veescope app and have your actor explain how they solved the problem.
Have a time lapse video of a plant growing, science experiment, etc... saved into the Veescope app as the background. Then have your actor explain the process.
Create Postcards of places your actors saw while on their Dream Vacation.

Tips:

Paint smaller boxes and use them as platforms for your props and actors.
Use an iPad stand to position your iPad just right for recording.
Record or snap stills in a well lit area or use a desk lamp with a bendable neck to provide lighting.
Record in a quiet place.
Save images and or video clips to the iPad that has the Veescope app.
Use the Full version of the Veescope app.

Ring in the New Year with EdTech & More ...

2015 is going to be the year of possibilities and much more. With that thought in mind I revamped my personal website www.katieannwilson.com. My goal is to bring all of my talents from creating interactive lessons, augmented reality, digital storytelling, to a trainer, presenter, and speaker all in one place. I've even included a resource section were I've placed interactive activities, printable activities, even web & app tools I use. I love to create and I love to show others how to create even more. I would love to come to your school and help you bring learning to life.

2015 will also be a year for new ways for me to share EdTech with fellow educators. I will be hosting an EdTech podcast this year. The podcast will be an informal conversations about big ideas in EdTech. I plan on sharing EdTech and ways to incorporate it into the classroom. There will be guests, tips, and much more so keep your eye on Remarkable Chatter for my podcast "Podcast of a Techie Chick" or "Diary of a Techie Chick - the Podcast", I can't decide on a name. If you would like to be a guest on my podcast and talk about EdTech feel free to contact me.

Making My Mark ..........

Making My Mark .....

My goal is to bring learning to life, and I love to augmented reality to do this. This year for Dot Day I had my students write about how they could make their mark on the world. When they finished with their writing assignment they were instructed to use the Dot Day color sheet by colAR Mix to design a LOGO to go with their assignment.

The second part of the assignment was for my students to create a blog. I want them to own this blog, make it theirs, and post to as often as they would like. Their 1st post was their Make My Mark assignment. They also had to include an picture or a collage of pictures of them and their LOGO.

What my students may not have caught was I was making my own mark in their lives. I love planting seeds and watching what grows. Encouraging them to write and own their own blog my just unleash the next best seller novel writer, the next high paying blogger, or even the next famous photographer. I can't wait to see were my students' blogs will go. What I do know is that writing for an audience is more meaningful then just writing for the teacher.

I have created a Symbaloo board to house their Make My Mark posts. I plan on added to it as more posts are submitted.

How do you plan on Making Your Mark on the world?

Going Beyond a Simple Textbook....

Last year I created an interactive ebook for my technology classes. I filled it with a variety of of video clips, screenshots, presentations, and resources for them to refer to. This year I wanted to create another interactive ebook but I wanted to be able to be used cross-platform and on all devices. I guess like always I am ahead of my time. If I wanted to make my interactive ebook available for all devices I would have to pay a company to convert it for me and there was no promise that all of my interactive components would work. So I went back to iBook Author and created my interactive book which can only be accessed via iBooks.

I haven't decided if I wanted to submit this book to the iTunes Store or not. The iPads that my students use block the iTunes and App Store so it isn't possible for them to download the book from there. I did find a alternative way around that issue. I saved the iBook file to my classroom website and my students can download it from there. It does take a while for the book to download and if I make any changes the kids will have to download the book again.

Now I can say I am a published author and I now have 2 editions to my Computer Apps e-Textbook.

Creating AR with the Daqri 4D Studio....

Augmented reality isn't anything new, it has been around for a while now. Creating your own augmented reality on the other hand has only been available in the recent few years. This spring Daqri released their 4D studio to the education community. Out of all of the augmented reality creators I have used this one is by far the friendliest one to use. When I talk to others about creating augmented reality I hear; "That is too techie for me.", or "I just can't wrap my head around how it works.", or "There is no way I will be able to create something like that." Let me ask you a few questions then.

Can you drag and drop?
Can you copy and paste?
Can you click on a button that says upload?
Can you click on a Plus Sign to start a new project?
Can you click on a button that says Save?
Can you click on a button that says Publish?

If you answered yes to these questions then you can create an augmented reality trigger.

For Podstock I created a mini tutorial on how to create a augmented reality trigger. Daqri did change a few things in their studio but it will not effect how you create a trigger. You will just notice my screenshots just look a hair different. I had put my tutorial in a NearPod presentation so I could monitor who accessed the presentation and evaluate their knowledge about the topic. I will post the link to that as well. Feel free to use the Google Presentation or the NearPod one.

Just keep in mind this is a very basic tutorial. I plan on creating more in depth ones soon.

Presentations/Resources:

If you do not have an account for Daqir's 4D Studio you will need to click HERE to request one.

Creating a Global Project....

In just one click you can travel to Rome, Hong Kong, and see the pyramids in Egypt. Twenty years ago in
order for you to get a glimpse of these amazing places you had to visit your local library and pray that they had some resources on them. Today all you have to do is hop on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone and you can travel the world without leaving your couch or classroom.

In August of 2013 I started working on creating my global project - the "Global Digital Scrapbook". I have gone to several conference sharing how I created my global project. I was suppose to be holding a workshop at ISTE this year helping other educators start creating their own global projects. Due to lack of people signing up for the workshop my session was cancelled. I would still like to share with you some resources on the topic.

I have created a group in Edmodo on Creating Global Projects. I encourage you to join the group if you are interested in creating a global project or if you would like to connect with others and participate in their global project. Once you click the link to join the group I will have to accept you. In the group you will be able to post your questions, ideas, or ask for help. I have also created folders with resources and tools I have used in creating my global project.

If you need need or have questions please feel free to connect with me.

App / Tool of the Week ...... Comic Makers

I use a variety of comic strip makers with my 7th grade students for my Internet Safety unit. Normally they portray themselves as a Hero of some kind coming to the rescue of a child making bad choices when online. Comic makers are a great writing tool that can be used many ways. For example retailing a story, explaining an event in history, explaining a plot, create an autobiographical, and etc....

Ideas for Comics:

Practice Vocabulary Words
Practice Conversation Skills
Creative Writing Skills
Review of Current Events

Making Our Mark ....

One of the tools I used to access students' knowledge for word processing skills is by having them do a simple write up on how they can make their mark on the world. I ask them to show me what they know how to do, add pictures, change font, and etc... This year I added a twist to the assignment. After they finished their write up and posted it in Edmodo for me to view they had to create a LOGO that went with how they plan to leave their mark. This LOGO is no regular LOGO it has an Augmented Reality twist to it. I used the colAR Dot Day coloring page and the colAR Mix app to bring their LOGOs to life.
My students really loved watching their LOGO spring to life when they where scanning it via their iPad. I can see using the colAR coloring pages as a spring board for a creative writing projects. The staff at colAR are adding to their coloring pages some of the pages you do have to pay for and some are free. I try to use the free ones with the kids. Coloring is not just of elementary students especially if there is an Augmented Reality twist added.

Growing and Connecting via a Global Project ....

Winning LOGO Design

I attended several teched conferences, workshops, and webinars right before school started this year. They inspired me to create a global project. I am really big into scrapbooking and thought how cool it would be to have a living digital scrapbook that students could use to share their stories.

I decided to use Edmodo as my platform to connect, collaborate, and to share my dream for my global project. The Global Digital Scrapbook Project for 2013-14 was then born. I created my goals and posted the outcome I wished to achieve with this project. I needed a sign-up form for those who decided to join me on this journey so I created a simple Google Form that I shared with anyone and everyone who would listen to me. By the end of October I had 75 schools from around the world that joined me in this amazing journey.

Within our Edmodo Group I created several small groups for students to use to post, collaborate, share, and connect with the other students that were participating in the project. The students can post into groups such as art, economics, culture, school life, and etc.... My favorite group is the Spanish-English group where students can share and learn either in Spanish or English. I did create yet another Google Form for students to fill out and and request to join the small groups.

This project has been a huge learning experience. When I started the project I had to be the trainer to the teachers that joined in. Most of them didn't really know how to use Edmodo or had never used it before. I created little video clips to help those that needed it among answer tons of emails and messages. I would like to think it has been a success since it is now February and the communication within the small groups seem to be running smoothly.

Some of the ways I've used Edmodo beyond just communicating with the thousand plus students and teachers was holding a LOGO submission for our project. Students submitted their LOGO designs and then I created a Quiz so that kids could vote on their favorite design. I used the Quiz feature because I could add an image to each choice. I also post the "Page or School of the Week" and I am able to see how many times that link has been clicked on. This helps to know if the participates are looking at what I post. Teachers in the project also post polling questions and discussion questions within the small groups. Students then receive either a grade for journaling or participating. We are trying to teach the students not to type in Text talk, write in complete and proper sentences, and digital citizenship all at the same time.

Now the goal is to get all of the schools to add something to the Global Digital Scrapbook. Again most of the teachers have not used the website creator I am using to host our scrapbook so I have to put on my trainer hat again. The goal is to have a completed Global Digital Scrapbook by May. I have faith that this will too happen. It takes time to get a thousand plus people all on the same page and understanding what is needed so keep an eye on the project as it grows daily.

Tools Used for the Project:

Edmodo
Google Forms

Count Down to Glass ....

As I prepare for Google Glass to arrive to this small town in the middle of the USA, literally in the middle, I am starting to plan how I can use them in my small classroom. I really would like to use them not only with my students but with students throughout the school district even down to the little pre-schoolers. I know that the possibilities are going to be endless and my students will also have a plan for them as well. One of the 1st projects I want to do is a Green-Screen project. I am really into creating unique digital stories with the help of Green-Screen effect. I am not 100% sure how this project will turn out, but I do know it will be one of a kind.

Another project I would like to do is add Augmented Reality to a presentation. I am not sure which apps yet interact with Glass so I am not certain how this project will fully come together until I have Glass to work with. I will be inviting the pre-schoolers over to play around with some Augmented Reality objects and have them wear Glass to capture their reaction and learning from their point-a-view.

I know one of the science teachers at the high school has a plan to use Glass and record and document weather. Not sure how he plans on doing this until we have the wearable technology to see how to pull it all together. Introducing this technology to the students will definitely be a learning curve. There will also be lots of problem solving skills being used and a lot of thinking outside the box.

If you would like to help to bring Google Glass to our school and make difference you can visit the campaign page "Bring Glass to Our School".

What kind of projects would you like to see students working on using Glass?
What apps would you like to see paired up with Glass?

Google Draw + Green-Screen + iMovie = Amazing

For our end of the semester project my students combined 3 powerful tools together to create a one of a kind digital story. Before they could even start drawing, recoding, and publishing their stories they first had to write them. Once their stories were on paper they got busy putting shapes together to create their illustrations. They used Google Draw for this part of the project. The only requirement was that they needed at least 4 scenes for their stories. After they had finished creating their illustrations they downloaded each one as a jpeg file. Since they had to use the computer to use Google Draw and the Green-Screen app was on their iPads they had to email themselves their picture files. Once they had their picture files saved to the camera roll on their iPad they could use the app Veescope Live Full version to record themselves telling their stories in front of my green wall. After all the recording were done they imported all of their recordings into iMovie and put together their stories.

Click Here for Student Stories - Check often as we are still finishing our stories.

App / Tool of the Week .... Google Draw

My students have been busy learning how to use Google Draw to illustrate for a children's story. They learned that they could layer shapes over other shapes to create a totally different shape or object. They also discovered that they could group their shapes together to avoid messing up their new object or shape.

I like to give my students a day of "Sandbox Day". On this day they get a chance to play around and learn a new app or tool. The only instruction I give them is explore and discover what the app or tool can do. Some students take off and go to town exploring, discovering, and trying different things. While others just look at the screen with a blank stare while repeating out loud that don't know what to do. As teachers we can't assume just because they are kids and they have grown up with all of this technology around them that they know how to use it. I like think of myself as a cheerleader for my kids. I encourage them to try things, click on something, hover your mouse over items or tools. Once they get over the fear of trying something new some amazing creations start to flow.

Google Draw is free and can be found in your Google Drive. I suggest you play, click, explore, and
build something with this tool. It can be great tool for math, story telling, a writing prompt, and etc... It does have auto save like Google Docs and Google Sheets. I suggest making sure that you name each drawing so you don't end up with a dozen Untitled Draws. You can even make folders and save your drawing to them.

To use your Google Drawing as an image I suggest you download it as a jepg file. This way you can import your drawing into apps, iMovie, web tools and etc... When you are drawing you will notice your workspace has gray and white squares. If you do not cover your entire work area with shapes or color those squares will become a white background after you download your image.

The Power of One ....

Say something you saw sparked an interest with you and you wanted to know more about it. You look for people that may know more about the thing that inspired you. You join Twitter, look for a Facebook Page, attend a conference, and etc... Find what works for you and use it. After you find what works, build your own Personal Learning Environment.

Once you learn more about what inspired you don't be afraid to go forward and try something new. Don't be afraid to create, explore, and really discover. If you get stuck reach out and ask your PLE for help or ask Google, Bing, or YouTube. Don't settle, find out more, explore, play in the sandbox, see what you can do with what inspired you.

Now share what you have learned.

Show Someone
Demonstrate
Explain
Inspire Someone

Then reflect on what you have learned, who you have shared with, and who they have shared with. That one thing you wanted to learn more about has now became the inspiration for others. You became the Power of One just because you shared.

That one thing that I wanted to learn more about was Augmented Reality and how to create a Green-Screen Effect.

Inspiration is everywhere don't be afraid to explore and then share.

A Story + A Green Wall = 1 Amazing Transformed Digital Story....

Transforming learning through digital stories by building on creativity of a child's imagination and making them apart of their creation.

Creating a Digital Story in front of the Green-Screen is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Have a story.
Create illustrations either digitally or scan original artwork. You can even use photographs.
Record your story in front of a Green Wall.
Put it all together in iMovie.
Student Examples

Visit the K-12 Online Conference the week of Oct. 28th through Nov. 1st to view my presentation and demonstration on how to create 1 Amazing Transformed Digital Story.

App / Tool of the Week - Toontastic ....

To kick of the letter of the week for Pratt's Tiny Tadpoles I created this cute little story via Toontastic. The app lets students create animated cartoons. They learn about the setting, characters, climax, conflict, and resolution. What I like is they also learn about mood by picking out pre-recorded music clips, which helps set the mood of the story. What I love the most about this app is that it records in your child's voice.

I will also be offering this app as one of the tools this week for my 6th grade social studies students as they have to tell the story of the Iceman in their own words.

Toontastic has a safe place called Toontastic ToonTube where you can upload and share your digital stories.

The Magic Monkey

The Global Digital Scrapbook Project

Project Founder & Coordinator - Katie Ann Wilson - @katieann_76

Project Goals:

Teachers and students will engage in discussions with others during the project about their country, school, hobbies, favorite activities, etc.
Students will learn to respect and appreciate the opinions, cultures and customs of others.
Students will be able to see the differences and similarities between themselves and others around the world.

Duration: 2013-2014 School year.

Targeted Grade Levels/Age Groups: All ages.

How This Project Works:

Teachers and students will use Edmodo to communicate with the others in our group. Edmodo is a social network that allows students and teachers to create groups that are closed to the public.

Guidelines:

Please make sure your students are using proper grammar and spelling and not using “texting” language. This is an educational group. Teachers should moderate all comments in the group. If you see anything anything inappropriate, take a screenshot of it and then delete it. Share the screenshot with that students' teacher and use it as a "teachable moment" to explain what postings should look like.

Please be committed to commenting in the group about once a week. It is not fair to the other group members when classrooms don’t follow through after signing up for a project.

Students and teachers will each need to create their own individual Edmodo account with a username and a password. After you sign up I will send you an email with the group's URL so that you can join. You will also receive an email from Weebly inviting you to join.
