All of the faculty and students at Holman Middle School are reading the book Wonder by R. J. Palacio. Once finished or throughout the reading, each content area is creating their own thematic unit to go along with the book. The school has also created a blog called All Holman Reads where the school will participate in book talks. What an awesome way to bring the entire school together and inspiring more reading.
Doug Saunders, a crazy awesome ITRT, is working with the art teachers, Vicki Kolar and Michael Elza on a Gallery Walk of sculptures and art work, based on characters from the book. Doug and his artists want to make the Gallery Walk more interactive, so I came over to talk to Doug about Augmented Reality and Aurasma.
My favorite thing about going into meetings you are leading – learning NEW things! I have always been a big http://studio.aurasma.com fan for making Auras, but as I learned through some practice today, creating auras directly in the iPad App was much easier and faster! Aurasma is getting better! That being said, you don’t get all the options in aura creation in the App as you do in http://studio.aurasma.com, but for making auras and adding them to a channel was quick and easy! Doug and I made a quick one as a reminder that our Henrico 21 deadline for ITRTs is quickly approaching!
