Wow this has been an amazing quarter. Things have been so incredibly busy. 

  • We started a postcard project that has been just amazing. The kids are loving getting everyone's postcards. We still need postcards from the US and around the world. It doesn't have to be a postcard it could just be any note, card, letter, postcard. We will be updating out maps and interactive map soon. I plan on using google earth and creating layers within to mark our journey. Check back for our google earth map. 
  • Check out my post about Launch Me and my wonderful necklace. (need to get back to my goal of posting pictures of my daily life)
  • My class is participating in a Digital Scrapbook, read more about this here. 
  • Deploying iOS 7 and problems with iOS 7 do I need to say more
  • Ordered and planning the installation on digital signage. (Four 60 in TV's, hopefully will be mounted soon) Using the Spintix software training this Tuesday
  • New projectors for 40 classrooms
  • New Redcat sound systems for 20 classrooms
  • Working with a language arts classroom for students to create a relationship video and using layar to post a augmented reality digital bulletin board of their project. 
  • Organizing and working with Curtis Chandler to work with our staff
  • Deploying a new information system, and grade program. Love the iPad app that goes with this program, but anything new takes time and adjustments
  • Presenting the information to our students differently in centers. Using PowerPoint to create the file and then turn into an interactive PDF. 
  • Need to finish projects from summer school. 
  • Jerry the Tech guy helped us setup a WebDav server, still in the testing stage before we deploy to the whole school. 
  • And just normal maintenance and keeping everything working. 
  • Exploring and using augmented reality in the classroom. 
  • Several distance learning sessions with Art, Social Studies, Science and this week a LA classroom using Skype
  • And for some reason I think I am also a repair LADY this year, repairing printers, laptop carts, and the normal things like computers and laptops. 
  • Oh and did I forget inventory. 
  • One Last thing... Presenting at FETC this year in January. Will you 


I think I better stop before I fill-up another page with the tech stuff happening at PVMS.

My first Augmented Reality Trigger using LAYAR.

You can use the Layar app to scan my first Augmented Reality Trigger. (no need to print.) Eventually this will go on my bulletin board. Not sure how I feel about the ads it adds to my picture. Arusma is another AR app, but it only lets me link to one things. Layar will allow me to link to multiple things from one Trigger. On this picture below I linked to our interactive zeemap, blog post about the project and our class twitter page that we just started. I used Katie Ann's tutorials at Diary of a Techie Chick.
