Flat Stanley Aurasma Project
During this school year, I have really enjoyed going over to Kaechele Elementary School about once a month to help teach and integrate the Augmented Reality App, Aurasma into some classrooms. Mrs. Hyman, the school librarian and information specialist, took the same Flat Stanley Project that most schools do to the next level. As usual, […] Continue reading
Types of Motion Aurasma Project
Back in December, I talked to 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Givens, about Aurasma. I made her a few examples to show the possibilities. Without hesitation, Mrs. Givens took the challenge head on. Not only did she add this new tool to her classroom, but she taught her grade level how to use it. As an […] Continue reading
Cycloramic 360 Panoramic Pics
If you are a Shark Tank fan, you probably already know all about this app, have downloaded it, and made a bunch 360° panoramic pictures already! If you haven’t seen the show, this is probably one of the coolest apps I have ever seen specifically for the iPhone 5 and 5s and some Android models, […] Continue reading

I had a really fun time making Animal Selfies a while back, but this was the original lesson I wanted do with students. Ms. Armstrong’s 3rd grade class at Seven Pines Elementary rocked this out as part of their Henrico […] Continue reading

My first year doing this project we made Tableaus. The students had to act out their own scene of an important event that happened in […] Continue reading
Tech Geek vs. EdTech Coach
I just read a great blog post from Candace Hackett Shively titled “A TechToy Story: Why Tech Geeks fail and EdTech Coaches succeed”. It is a great “fable” showcasing the difference between just knowing a lot about technology and being able work with teachers to seamlessly integrate technology into the classroom. We all know that technology […] Continue reading
Google Chrome Extensions!
It took forever for me to get on the Google Chrome Extensions boat, and I have no idea why! There are so many free Chrome Extensions that you can download to make your productivity, work flow, and overall web browsing experience much more enjoyable. From automatic copying to on-screen keyboard to splitting your web browser […] Continue reading
Force and Motion Pixies
First graders at Echo Lake have been learning about Force and Motion. Specifically, they have to know that a force is what puts objects in motion, and that it takes more force to move larger, heavier objects. Today, Mrs. Hall’s class made Pixie pages to show a pushing force moving small and large objects. After […] Continue reading
FETC 2014 AR and Aurasma Presentation
This week has been a blast here in Orlando, FL attending the FETC Conference. I have been to many local and state conferences, but this big national conference, by far, as been this most informative I’ve ever attended. I have really enjoyed meeting so many new people and Twitter-ers I follow. Some of my favorites […] Continue reading

For part of their final project, each student made a Movie Trailer about their book using iMovie. For the first day of the project, we went through the Project Rubric, so they understood how they will […] Continue reading
