Discovery Education is the first place that I have my students learn how to search for images because I know that they have access to quality images and can use them in their projects.
Here is a tutorial video about accessing images.<br />

Next we use screencasting apps to have students share their learning. Here is a tutorial video about how to use just one of many screencasting apps.<br />

<br />
Our use the image in an app like <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/facejack/id407918065?mt=8" target="_blank">FaceJack</a> to bring life to the image.<br />

<a href="http://edcamp.wikispaces.com/" target="_blank">Edcamps</a> have become a wonderful phenomenon throughout the country. This past weekend I was fortunate enough to connect with educators with a passion for technology in Madison. I didn't even know about it until the night before and was more than willing to just show up and hope they welcomed me in. Upon arrival I was greeted with a smile and invited in to a day of collaborating, sharing, and learning.
The positive buzz of educators engaged in learning and sharing is a real high for a techie like myself. I learned about more iPad integration ideas, Web 2.0 tools, <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/16yfuS-x-NgwTUr4ulX14uItDNIMjfdomwdpxvBo0vsc/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Chrome applications, extensions, and the difference between</a>, and finally about different practices in education. Did I say that this was free? Free professional development? Free lunch? Free prizes (like an iPad mini)?

The greatest accomplishment of any educational activity is when students become inspired and the learning does not stop at the doors of the school. <br />
<br />
iMovie Trailers offer a lot of creative options as you can see from the following examples. Enjoy these examples and please come visit the website - <a href="http://icreateilearn.weebly.com/technology-workshop.html" target="_blank">http://icreateilearn.weebly.com/technology-workshop.html </a>to see more.<br />

After several changes, I uploaded by last video with more upbeat music. <br />
<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pjPEVxWSnQY" width="640"></iframe>
<br />
A few hours later I was looking at my video manager on youtube only to find the following:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xBlo2nEvk68/UN3tRpzRu1I/AAAAAAAAALM/jV47MCBmFk4/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-12-28+at+7.59.48+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xBlo2nEvk68/UN3tRpzRu1I/AAAAAAAAALM/jV47MCBmFk4/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-12-28+at+7.59.48+AM.png" height="73" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I was a little stunned to say the least since I spent a good amount of time struggling with the musical choice or lack of in iMovie. Finally I settled on the upbeat music that you can hear in the video. So I quickly defended my video since it has always been my understanding that iMovie jingles are copyright and royalty free.<br />
<br />
Here is my response.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFfVFsVMAmoiGrtH_0BNt9h5q9HlvhbpMBFYxOWSGUfvpOOM8qxS4PVTnSx3yQayn7i5ygwUoUtZH-ATD4Gb1W_eZa6YufPa695iVkK1lvYzyYDidP3mgAYSErqgYHVt7shZjarr9c8Mqt/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-12-28+at+8.00.08+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFfVFsVMAmoiGrtH_0BNt9h5q9HlvhbpMBFYxOWSGUfvpOOM8qxS4PVTnSx3yQayn7i5ygwUoUtZH-ATD4Gb1W_eZa6YufPa695iVkK1lvYzyYDidP3mgAYSErqgYHVt7shZjarr9c8Mqt/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-12-28+at+8.00.08+AM.png" height="246" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
As I did more searches, I have found that many youtube videos are being disputed by APM Music. I feel like I have a good understanding of copyright and I find it curious that someone found a video by little old me in less than 5 hours to dispute the sound recording.<br />

<br />
As you watch the video, you will realize that I took the picture of the beginning of the video to use in the Haiku Deck. Here are the steps of the Haiku Deck and iMovie Mashup<br />
<br />
1. I designed the Haiku Deck using the pictures on my iPad.<br />
2. I exported the Haiku Deck into Powerpoint on my MacBook Pro.<br />
3. I exported the Powerpoint out as pictures.<br />
4. I imported the pictures into iMovie on my MacBook Pro.<br />
5. After each picture, I dragged the video footage to match.<br />
<br />
Here is what can be created when mashing two powerful applications.<br />

<br />
Next month, several students and I will be leading an after-school course on designing iPad iMovie Trailers. In my search to learn about how to create an iMovie on the iPad, I found some really amazing resources.<br />
<br />
Teaching Paradox has a wonderful PDF that can be downloaded to storyboard the trailer.<br />
<a href="http://teachingparadox.edublogs.org/files/2012/08/iMovie-Trailer-Storyboard-2b1qirp.pdf">http://teachingparadox.edublogs.org/files/2012/08/iMovie-Trailer-Storyboard-2b1qirp.pdf</a><br />
<br />
I didn't know how to use iMovie so I started by going to youtube and searching for instructional videos. I have embedded one of a series of excellent video tutorials by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/michaelLcowling?feature=watch" target="_blank">MichaelLcowling</a> that I used to learn.<br />

The DEN is about bringing educators together to network by creating common experiences. This past Saturday DEN members met in our state capitol, Madison to learn and share with each other.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Starting at the Capitol building, participants learned about the history of one of the most important buildings in our state. The beautiful holiday tree was decorated and many photography experiences abounded.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next we toured The Overture Center, Madison's community performance center. Touring both theaters, behind the scenes, and dressing rooms, we were able to see the inner parts and learn the history of a beautiful building. We even were able to listen to a performance of the historical organ playing holiday music from around the world.<br />
<br />
Lastly sitting around the fireplace at Starbucks, we shared ways that we are using Discovery Education products in our classroom.<br />
<br />
Here are links to prior posts of ways to integrate DE into classroom practice:<br />
1. Use a modified KWL chart and DE as one tool for research<br />
<a href="http://khuttner.blogspot.com/2012/07/technology-and-differentiation.html">http://khuttner.blogspot.com/2012/07/technology-and-differentiation.html</a><br />
<br />
2. Using resources from DE and green screening<br />
<a href="http://blog.discoveryeducation.com/khuttner/2011/12/07/gone-green-screen/">http://blog.discoveryeducation.com/khuttner/2011/12/07/gone-green-screen/</a><br />
<br />
3. Music videos using songs and videos from DE<br />
<a href="http://khuttner.blogspot.com/2012/11/green-screen-r-us.html">http://khuttner.blogspot.com/2012/11/green-screen-r-us.html</a><br />
<br />
How do you use DE? Please share your ideas. The power of the DEN is sharing what you do with other educators.<br />

Several years ago when DENSI was in Boston, I was able to meet Peter Reynolds when we visited Fablevision. I did not realize how his wonderful book The Dot would impact my teaching. <br />
<br />
The Dot is a wonderful book about how each person has something to offer if you believe in them. The first year after meeting Peter, I returned to my school and decided that I was going to lead an all school activity during International Dot Day. Our school, though quite beautiful, was very white. So after reading the book, our students created their own dots that adorned the very white and empty stairwell for the entire year. As the year progressed dots began to fall but the students realized that they were making their mark on our school. <br />
<br />
The first year it was just a handful of classes but by the second year, we had two readings in the cafeteria and dot designing to accomodate so many children. It was such a powerful community building activity and once again new dots adorned this time two very white stairwells for the entire year. Each day as children exited the school bus, they could see their dot.<br />
<br />
This year I am in a new school but I find that the magic of International Dot Day now International Dot Week still remains. I posted this to facebook on Friday after a wonderful day of reading The Dot to various classes.<br />

This week marks the first week of a change in my journey as an educator. For the last 14 years, I have been a teacher of children. I started at the middle school level but fell in love with the elementary level. I was blessed with the ability to work in a bilingual setting where I could continue to foster my love of the Spanish language. It was the bilingual setting and the challenges that faced my students that helped push me to use technology. I was able to see how technology inspired my students to challenge themselves to create, learn, and communicate more.<br />
<br />
I am now taking a slightly different path into technology integration and math resource. As I watch the beginning of the year roll out around me, I can't hide the lost feeling inside. Part of who I am is changing.... no more spending tons of money on classroom supplies. Instead I am combing the internet for app deals, stylus bargains, and technology ideas.<br />
<br />

I already realize how dedicated the teachers of my new school are and what an adventure this will be.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16080447311060924992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6438073019295281496.post-71171694030271450132012-08-05T11:21:00.001-07:002012-08-05T11:24:04.786-07:00iMath CourseThis is a course that I have designed that includes an ebook with math apps.<br />

collected – 7 green screen video clips (including 6 questions and an
introduction), 6 facejack video clips, and one citation page and put them
into iPhoto. Students also found one more image on DE to use for their
background image and citated that image. Now we had all the parts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11.111111640930176px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So here is the process if there are any other souls out there who want to do surveys but are spreadsheet challenged.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11.111111640930176px;">After doing a survey for a university class I am taking, I sat and looked at the spreadsheet and thought... How am I going to ever process all of this information? So I started playing around with the menu only to discover that I didn't have to do the work.... Google had already thought of that. I feel like I hit a gold mine for myself today. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11.111111640930176px; text-align: left;">
After creating the form in google, sharing the link, and getting responses, here is a quick way to make your life more manageable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQ3AAERS3NhBFPmnUovqQ1T-jdkCNy0DH3zEBGAVTtrRVRVUudpQ5lNSaEUwfZInIdv-4j8NYBLwWFum7c2HX7G-n2SvFasGRvnnsRYF2vztcYFfMG-q9EN6djs0r-MG6mxsa5g2t-wJH/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-07-10+at+8.46.54+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQ3AAERS3NhBFPmnUovqQ1T-jdkCNy0DH3zEBGAVTtrRVRVUudpQ5lNSaEUwfZInIdv-4j8NYBLwWFum7c2HX7G-n2SvFasGRvnnsRYF2vztcYFfMG-q9EN6djs0r-MG6mxsa5g2t-wJH/s320/Screen+shot+2012-07-10+at+8.46.54+AM.png" width="314" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11.111111640930176px; text-align: left;">
<strong>Step 1 - </strong>Go to the menu bar under form and choose show summary of responses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iBM_pojlUtY/T_w1j8ef0MI/AAAAAAAAAF8/F-FLEgEj2NA/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-07-10+at+8.45.11+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iBM_pojlUtY/T_w1j8ef0MI/AAAAAAAAAF8/F-FLEgEj2NA/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-07-10+at+8.45.11+AM.png" /></a></div>

Google provides you with all of the information, bar graphs, percentages, everything your heart could possibly desire.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11.111111640930176px; text-align: left;">
<strong>Step 2: </strong>Print the survey and transfer it into a PDF so that you minimize your work and can share the data.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11.111111640930176px; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 11.111111640930176px;">
<strong>Step 3: </strong>Share your survey in a professional way</div>
<div style="font-size: 11.111111640930176px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11.111111640930176px;">
So what did I learn? I learned that surveys are really helpful for getting a better understanding of the people you are working with. Now I have a survey that I can use at the beginning of the school year and I learned a way to not only create the survey but be able to share and interpret it. Google did a beautiful job of designing a way to easily share the data. I love it!</div>

So I never really understood the draw of <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/" target="_blank">geocaching</a> until yesterday. The power of good professional educational networks is the joy of learning with others who are passionate about teaching and learning. My DEN friends finally pushed me into trying geocaching. Mind you, I am the only one of my group who still holds on to my "dumb" phone. I just didn't see the possibilities of geocaching.<br />
<br />
But there is something about finding that first find. Like an adult treasure hunt! Who doesn't like a treasure hunt?<br />
<br />
So of course the teacher in me immediately starts to think of the connections I can make to the classroom.<br />
<br />
Here are some ideas:<br />
1. geocaching would be an excellent way to teach mapping skills<br />
2. create a cache that builds a global story - start a yarn of a tale where each finder adds to the story that is created<br />
3. invent stories behind the caches<br />
4. learn about places in your community<br />
5. map a travel bug on google earthAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16080447311060924992noreply@blogger.com0
