Congratulations to Our Teachers Who Have Been Recognized for Their Innovation.

Autumn Zaminski Selected as a Distinguished Apple Educator

Picture
Autumn Zaminski, the media specialist and learning coach, at the high school was 1 of just 205 selected from 550 applicants across 40 countries for the recognization of being a Distinguished Apple Educator.  Autumn will participate in the Distinguished Apple Educator Training in Bethesda, Maryland in July.  The application process is rigorous and required Autumn to create a video that showcased how teaching and learning has been transformed for her students through the use of technology.

Keystone Technology Innovators Are Announced

Congratulations to those teachers in the district who were nominated and selected as Keystone Technology Innovators.  Katie Appleby from NOHS, Jen Selby from CTE, Katie Abendschein from NOE and Joanna Knott from CVIS were invited to the Keystone Summit which will be held at  the Shippensburg University this summer.  Congratulations to these teachers for their recognition.

EL Teacher Training with Google Teacher Training Center

If you have EL students in your class, please check out the Google Teacher Training.  Click here to access the training.  This is just one of a number of resources for teachers of EL students in the Schoology course.  See the next topic in this weeks blog for more information for training for working with EL students.

EL Professional Development Course on Schoology

If you work with EL students check out this course.  It contains a variety of information to educate, inform and train you on how to work with EL students.   Here is the code to join the Schoology course DD8NS-6T5GB.  Check it out.

QR Codes and Augmented Reality (AR)

Monica Burns wrote a book entitled Deeper Learning with QR Codes and Augmented Reality.  She has lots of ideas shared by other educators for using QR codes and augmented reality. It's a quick read with some great shares.  I am working on a self-paced Schoology course for teachers and I hope to have it ready to go in the fall for those who like on-line learning as as option for your 4 extra hours.  In the meantime, I am going to share some of the ideas in the CVSD Tech Blog posts between now and the end of the year.  

To get started you need a QR code creator.  Some creators to consider are QRcode.Kaywa.com or QRStuff.com.  Both are free to use to create a QR code.  To create a QR code usually takes 3 steps.  1.  Copy the link to a website; 2. Paste the link into the QR code generator, 3. Download the QR code.  

QR Codes are great timesavers because they can get students out to a weblink quickly without having the students take time to type in a long URL. Students can quickly get to the correct video, article or research material online.  The QR codes can be printed and placed in areas around a classroom, building, or other locations.   A student can use the camera of their iPad, or iPhone by opening the camera and holding the lens over the QR code.  The  student will next be redirected to a site or to a link that when touched will open the website.  

Some ways to use QR codes could be to create a scavenger hunt, or connect students to a mystery writing prompt, or connect your students to a text message which might include instructions for their next task. QRCode.Kaywa.com allows users to add text.   

I hope this gives you enough information to start your QR code exploration.  If you have an interest and would like some assistance, feel free to give me a call and I can stop by to help you engage your students with QR codes.  Stay tuned as more tips and tricks related to QR codes and AR which will be included in the weeks ahead.

Seesaw and QR Codes

Seesaw is a tool that has the ability for a QR code to be generated in the software. Click here to see a tutorial that will show you how to do this.  This is a great feature to have students record themselves reading and then the  QR code can be generated and attached to the book so other students can open the QR code and read along with the recording. Click here to walk through step-by-step on how to do this.
