 Hey, it's the last day of ISTI 2015 in Philadelphia, and there's one more set of poster sessions I'm going to be able to visit here. So we will take a look. This one's called Wander to Wander Hello. Oh, do you mind again? I'm the periscope guy now Okay, do you do you mind? Tell us about wondering. So this is our way that we introduce research to our students. We let them all kind of pick a topic. We all close our eyes, something you're curious about. And then we use the big six research model to introduce research skills and the research process to our students. And then everybody makes a product to show what they learned and then they share it with their peers. So we all become other wonders and adventure seekers and information seekers. And what grade? Elementary. This was a K5 project. We've done it with as low as kindergarten and then also our fifth graders and we scaffold the information. So the process that you use with your kindergartners is a lot different than what you do with fifth graders. And tell me about the big six. So big six is a research model built around the idea that you are learning a process you're going to use for any project that you do, but you're integrating the content. So you start with a task, what you want to know, then you find resources, you use them, and then you share, synthesize, and put everything together. What has been the most interesting wonder that a student has come up with? I love to think. They like things having to do with a human body, especially like third and fourth grade boys, so we can all like giggle about it, you know. You let them pick that topic? So we explain that your topic, you might not find an exact answer to your topic. You might just find some information that would help you know more about that. So for example, if you pick something about the human body, you might just be learning about a body system and not actually how that works in your body. One last year we had a girl who wanted to know about mermaids or if mermaids were real. Why did cats land on their feet? Some of us, we did one about pop rocks. Why did pop rocks pop? We had a kid who explored that and he was able to find the answer. That was the fun one. What do they do for their answers? So what did he make for his pop rocks to show others? So we don't actually kind of different from a genius our idea. We don't actually make a product like a physical thing. They usually make a visual. So they make a movie. We use the app 30 hands sometimes or iMovie, some kind of presentation tool that they make a presentation. They usually use one. We kind of scaffold it down. They use one picture and they put their voice over it. So we're not into spending lots of time making our product. But they share and then we have a view what we call a viewing party and they give reviews to each other. They fill in stars and they kind of finish off with that idea. They've shared what they use. And do you have a page about this? Is that a s'more? All right. And is that... Where's the link for that? There's your Twitter. Oh, I bet there are people on Periscope who screenshot this stuff. So s'more.com slash one pcw1. So that's great. They love the idea of a viewing party. Yeah. So when we interview, you get hearts. So let's... Renee shared some really great things. Simple especially for primary grades. Hi. Look at all those. Oh, I feel famous. I've been on Periscope and everything. Great. Yeah. Good morning. It is morning. It's 11. It's still morning. It's been a weird day. Yeah. I will say that every kid can do research and every grade can do research and it's about teaching kids the right way to do things and then they become lifelong learners. They love your ideas. Hey, thanks. Feel free to visit us and have your kids wonder. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Have a great day. My name's Tony, not Periscope Guide, FYI. Oh, man. So then it's kind of my thing, I guess. So I bought yesterday because I saw a coupon code for GoDaddy for 99 cents. TonyScope.com. So it's not... No, I didn't, but maybe... No, I don't want to be none of that. My name's Tony. Thank you. Morning on the West Coast. Okay. Ten best apps. I don't see Stick Around on there. Darn. No, there are better apps than Stick Around for... Depends on your purpose, right? Oh, there's giant QR codes, but no link with them. So... Would you like TonyScope? Actually, I linked to that. I did a search and I found this site called QuickScope. And so that's what I've linked TonyScope.com to. And you can see archives and you can fast forward and rewind the replays, which you can't do with the regular Periscope. So it's kind of neat. It's not a Twitter sanctioned app or website, but it works for now. Yeah, that is pretty nice. All right. Well, I want to go to this other booth. I think this might be the best named booth. And there are some pretty good poster session names around here, but this one is called If These Walls Could Talk and Features Augmented Reality. I mean, it's a perfect name. And that's where you don't need a QR code. You need an app and maybe a subscription to a channel, but then no QR code. It just recognizes the picture as a trigger and layers information on top of it. So let's see if we can, if she doesn't mind having a microphone. Oh, you're back again. Okay. Famous now of her coming back. They came. I'm sorry, I got confused now. I'm so sorry. And then their videos pop up. So when we had the families come as a end of curriculum study to the celebration of what they did, the parents were able to log in with our class account and then see what they, their videos for their Egypt unit. But we did the same thing with our first grade. They did study parks. And so we had them create little trigger cards as well. So they were, when people came to see their video popped up of them talking about their park design and all that stuff. So these are just examples of what you could do with augmented reality in the elementary classroom. Yeah. Always your biggest surprise doing this with kids. How easy it was using the Erasmap app. We had kindergarten, we didn't have the Erasmap doing it by themselves, but the other grades were able to attach their trigger card to their video by themselves. And the way that the teachers actually grasped this was amazing. They really wanted to do it because it takes QR codes to another level. So it's not a QR code. It's taking student artwork as you can see on the table and then making it come to life. Awesome. Do you want to, should we, did you watch your last video? No, am I on there? Where am I? I didn't watch it. It's gone. They leave after 24 hours usually. Oh really? I try to put them on YouTube or something. Oh, I'll have to watch it. I'm going to look at some of your other triggers you have here. If you want to tell us about any of them, like where they go, that would be our first graders learned about the food chain and where their food comes from. So for homework one night, they had to draw a picture of what they had for dinner. And then in science class the next day, they used an app called Poplet where they showed a food chain of their food items broken down and where it comes from. Just in case people aren't familiar with Erasma, let's back up. When all you do, you don't push a button or anything. You just open Erasma and it recognizes that student's picture and knows to put the Poplet on top of it, the image. So with Erasma, there's actually a few steps. You have to create a class account first and then you log in the devices with the class account. And then when you're ready, you just upload a video to Erasma and then you have to have some sort of trigger card to attach that video or photo to. I love that your trigger cards here are kid drawings. That is super cute. Yeah. And I like that it mixes the physical with the digital because little kids need to draw. They need to draw on paper and this is neat. This is the second grade we have in two little cardboard collages of their shelters that they studied for shelters around the world. So this was actually instead of the standard kid drawn card, it was something like a mosaic piece of art. And they made them all themselves. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So I'll do this middle one. And so the video that's popping up, we actually took the video to the next level. So instead of a standard video, we used a green screen backdrop using an app called Doink. And then the student in here, he's actually talking in Mandarin because we're in immersion school. So everything we do has a language component. So it's either going to be Spanish or Mandarin. So I should know this off the top of my head, but is Erasma available for Android? Yes, it is. And it's a free app. So then parents can come in with their phones. It doesn't matter if it's Android or iOS and get to scanning. Yep. We give them all of our account information. So when they come in to see their projects their student works on, they just bring any device that they have. And as long as they're logged into our private class accounts, they can see what their child's worked on. Awesome. Thank you. Thank you for sharing. One thing. I think you win the award for the best named poster session. Thank you. So if these walls could talk. I love it. I love it. Yeah. Follow her on Twitter. She's great stuff, great enthusiasm. Yeah. Let's see. Why doesn't it look out for ones that have student presenters? Oh, hello. Hello from the USA, from Pennsylvania. France, huh? So if you're from France, how did you find out about, how did you find this periscope when you're in France? Did you follow me already on Twitter? Did you just find it in the periscope app? Oh, it's Suzanne Sallie. I love her. She does really great work with iPads in her school district. Follow me on Twitter. Terrific. I love it. And she's from Phoenix, Arizona area. And has been really working with iPads for several years. So this one is about digital storytelling with movie trailers. Good morning, Suzanne. Do you, do you mind if I record you? All right. I've been watching your periscope videos that you haven't. Uh-huh. Terrific. Well, tell us, well, who you are and then show us around. Now, with what I do at the camera, sometimes I go to your name tag because people are always asking for Twitter and I'll pan around. Well, you've watched, so you know. All right. Well, I'm Suzanne Sallie. I'm the education technology specialist for the Creighton School District in Phoenix, Arizona. Not Mesa apparently. No, not Mesa. I live in Mesa. And so sometimes they seem to get that on my name tag. So we're just here talking about doing iMovie trailers using the iMovie app either on iPads or on Mac computers. And we have teachers using them as a way to introduce topics to their students, building a little background that hooked to get the kids engaged. But we also have students creating trailers for a variety of different ways. And this is really a good way to get students into creating movies without having to be overwhelmed by a lot of the editing tools. That's a completely scaffolded. Like they don't get to pick how long a clip is because Apple has picked it for them already. Well, and because they don't get to pick how long a clip is or how much text they can put in, it has to be short. I think it really helps the kids learn to be concise and not go on and on and on. But we've had kids do book trailers as either an alternative to a book report or an extension to a written book report. They've done biographies. So Abraham Lincoln, George Washington. We've seen it used in science. One of our teachers did a whole unit on storms. And at the end, this is how the kids showed their learning was they created trailers on storms and they get really creative in what they do. So what's been the most interesting topic that you've seen a student make a trailer about? Well, I think one of our storm trailers is really interesting because it was about tornadoes. And we're in Arizona. We don't have tornadoes. So it's a little dust devil thing. Yeah. Yeah, just those things. But these kids did in the middle of their trailer to kind of demonstrate a tornado. They took black butcher paper and wrapped a kid up in it. And the kid twirls around in there. So he's looking like a tornado. Yeah, so it's really cute. We have it. It's in there, but you'd have to find where it is. So yeah, go ahead and show us. What's your top tip for having students make movie trailers? Well, I think probably one of the top tips is you have to make sure to tell the kids to be very concise in what they're writing because we've seen kids go in and when they put in their text into the trailer. Yeah, they make it really long. And because it goes quick, you can't always, you don't always have time to read all the text. So I think that's one of the big things that our teachers have learned as well as the students. Is there a place where they can watch some of these trailers? You know, I haven't put them online, but I could because we have our project in our district for our mobile devices. It's called I Achieve and we have a website. You have great blog posts. I do have great blog posts and I just did a blog post about iMovie trailers, but I have a tab on our website that for ISTE 2015 that has a lot of our resources in there. Here's the tornado one. Okay, let's see if we get the one where the kids... What's the address of the blog while we... Oh, great. You're going to ask me that. It's in my feedly. I don't know. I don't know what the address is. Oh, well, I think you're asking somebody for phone numbers now. I think if you just looked up Suzanne's I Achieve Reflections because it's through blogger, so it's a blog spot. So it comes up. Yeah. Oh, there's our Abraham Lincoln biography. And if you've never done these movie trailers before, you see that, you know, they're really fast paced. They don't linger on one image at all, but that's what movie trailers do when you're in the theater. I mean, they are boom, boom, boom, boom, fast, fast, fast. So, yeah, if you want your kid to do something really extensive, you know, your students, you might not... This might not be the best choice, but a lot of the teachers are using them as a supplement to a written project. So the kids already wrote a biography about Abraham Lincoln and now they're going in and kind of extending their learning. And we always feel like multiple exposures to content is the way that our kids really learn and embed their thinking and their understanding. So this is one way... From even making my own trailers and what kids do too, is that we watch them. I do. We'll talk about that in a moment, but I watch my own trailers again and again. So even though I wrote it and put it together, it's fun to watch. And it turns, you know, something kind of ordinary, very exciting. Well, I've done some for my family. For my daughter-in-law for her birthday, I did one because I have a 21-month-old grandson. So I did one with pictures of my grandson. And then for Father's Day, my husband and my son, I made a different trailer for each of them with pictures of our family and kind of a story about our family. And it just became, I think, you know, one of the best presents that they had gotten. I don't think I have this online, but I really should do it. So when my son was really a baby, I had all these little clips of him trying to roll over, you know, and getting frustrated and all that. And then we have, on video, the first time he rolled over for real and made that into a trailer. And it's like, you know, Connor struggling to turn over and it is so, so neat to see. And what great memories to keep for them to have, you know, when they get older. Well, and my son and daughter-in-law, they play these, the trailers over and over for my grandson. And he just laughs and he claps and he goes, more, more. So there's a question from Adam Jones. Hey, Adam, how do you get them over not understanding how to use iMovie? Well, yeah, the kids catch on fast. And the trailers are so simple. Yeah, it's different than a full on iMovie and trying to move clips around. Yeah, this is a good way to introduce them to that video editing. And then I think it's an easy transition into using the regular iMovie projects where they're creating a full length movie and doing the editing and all of that. So this one is just so easy. About cacti, right? You know you're from Arizona then. Yes. Well, we've actually used that when we've done some presentations and trainings with teachers. We have them, we introduce them to the trailers and we have them going and create one. And, you know, sometimes the hardest part about creating one is thinking of, what's my topic? How am I going to get all my images? What do I want to say? So I actually have a folder in Google Drive that I give the teachers a link to that has pictures that I've taken. So I tell them, copyright free. They have my permission to use them. And we give them a sheet with saguaro facts. And so we just have the teachers go in and like 15, 20 minutes they have. You presented that at mobile learning experience and Wes Fryer was talking to me about it the other day. He was so impressed with how you organize that. Oh, good. Well, thank you. That's quite an honor to know that he was impressed with that. Should have been burning. Okay, so let's look and see what you have on the board here. So there's, you have some steps on taking, on going through an iMovie trailer. So you got to choose a template and one that makes sense for your content, right? You know, there are different ones and a family one doesn't really make sense for, you know, for, for topics. Those are some thinkers. Yeah. And I think you also look at because these have music built into them. I think you also need to kind of listen to the music and go, is that music really appropriate for my movie? Yeah. And then do you kid storyboard? We'll talk about that in a moment, but there is no voiceover. So the words that are on the screen, you have to be really concise with because you don't get to talk over them. But if you put in a video clip, you can turn off the sound to the audio sound, the music soundtrack, so you can hear any audio that's in your video clip. There's, but there's such short clips. You know, it's really not meant for you to have, to have a voiceover. And then step, where, oh, step two is over here. Then step two. So, so iMovie trailers have a built-in script that you can kind of fill in when you, when you get started, when you customize, I guess, the outline. And then they have their own built-in storyboards. But where you add photos, and it doesn't, where it says landscape, you know, that you tap there and you can get to your photo library, or if you're on a Mac, you drag in there. But, and it tells you how many seconds long it would be. But you don't have to put a group photo and a two shot there. It can be anything you want. And so sometimes that, that's, kids have a hard time getting over that because you, and I do too, when I'm making my own trailer, I see, oh, landscape. I'm like, wait a second, it doesn't have to be landscape, but in my head, I think so. So what do you have over here? Well, I have over here, you know, we, we talk about, this is digital storytelling. And so we kind of take the kids through the steps of digital storytelling. And part of digital storytelling means the kids are going to create a storyboard themselves to kind of plan out their trailers. So I have a friend named Tony Vincent, who has names even on your, on your poster. That's cool. It is, who has created some storyboard templates for all 14 of the planners that are in the i, iMovie iPad app. But I think you also have some for the Mac app. Yeah, people really like these. So I've, I've spent two days of my life creating these. But they're worth it because you don't see that it's landscape. All you see is that it's 1.1 seconds. So it gets that out of your mind. It's good for planning, especially when you're sharing iPads and you don't, you don't, you don't have time for that. And I mean, I even use them when I'm creating my own tweets because it helps me if nothing else, know where I need to put in text, how many pictures I'm going to need to gather to put in their pictures or photos. So it's been great. And then there's this other one over here that's kind of, we have teachers use this, this other one because it really tells the kids they're going to do a proposal to their teacher. This is what I want my trailer to be. And it helps give them some tips on which trailer they might, I'm glad you, I'm glad you like that. Yeah, I went through every trailer and tried to put them in a genre so that students can just check them off. The students to give do a proposal to their teacher of this is what I'm going to do. This is how I'm going to do it. And then the teacher can kind of have an idea. Yeah, and somebody asked where those are located. So you can get my trailer, PDFs at learninginhand.com slash trailers. And I have some samples there collected. And if you have better examples, I'd love to replace some of the ones that I have there already. And the other thing is that these are all fillable PDFs. So if you wanted to fill them in using like Adobe Reader or in preview on the Mac. And I even, so I bought software to make this happen because you can't make fillable PDFs for free. And you can actually check these off like online, isn't that? In that case, I kind of tickled myself when I was like, oh, wow, I can make that. So somebody asked to repeat it. These are fillable PDFs. And there, you can just check them out learninginhand.com slash trailers. And they go along with every iPad and Mac movie trailer. And we're going to show us one on. This is actually a lesson that one of our teachers did where he kind of gave the kids their project, what they were going to talk about. And some stuff here with because they were working in groups and their different tasks. And then he even gave them some video tips down here. So that's from a teacher. Pull the iPad steady. It gives people headaches when you're shaky. Definitely you just don't do what I'm doing on Periscope and I'm all over the place. Watch for wind breezes. Yeah, the microphone. The kids were going outside and and doing little video clips and the popping peas like I just did for our Periscopers. Yeah, record at different angles. Yeah, those are those are really, really good tips. So oh, and we have kids just some more pictures you want to catch. This is as as the students are creating or working on putting their projects together. So they're doing their storyboards. They're outside videotaping and this was one with the storms. So they got real creative. They took a fan out there so they could have blowing leaves and perfect and things. This is some teachers at mobile 2015 working on their trailers. Yeah. So yeah, record this Periscope. People have been asking that. And then people always ask about the mic if you're new to seeing this. This is an iRig mic HD. It's like $99 on Amazon. I have my own URL shortener called TonyV.me. So go to TonyV.me slash microphone and it's that's a short link. And somebody else asked me something else about I the questions went by and I forgot them. You might have to repeat them because with Periscope, they're there for like a moment and then disappear. So that's that's yeah, yeah, they go really quick. But yeah. And the thing about Periscope is I can't see what my battery is. And I found about one hour wears out my whole battery from 100%. So that's that's bad. I have a chart every chance I get. But this microphone, it connects to the lightning port. So I can't charge while I'm doing this. But that's all right. So asking what is on your website? I don't know if that's mine or Suzanne's. I have just the movie trailers in a blog post and then you have like you do so much more than movie trailers. You have all sorts of ideas on on your website. Yeah. On our website or I achieve website, which you I think you showed the the you are or the QR code. Because we do iPod touches as well as iPads. And so we have a lot of things on there. We have copies of agreements. We have management ideas. Just a whole a plethora of things. List of the apps that we're using on both iPods and iPads. So because we still use our iPods because they're great for some of those younger kids fit right in their hands. Great. I'll answer that the URL shortener in a moment. But I don't want to keep you from from your your public here. But thank you for taking time with us. And let's give her some hearts. Okay, want to talk to you about oh yeah, my URL I'll tell you a little bit more about that as we leave here. But thanks for sharing. Thank you. And it's fun to see my little movie trailers on your poster board. I know we love it. Awesome. I have a link to a some more flyer on iMovie trailers that has a link to these and a bunch of other stuff that you've done. All right. Thanks for sharing. All right. Have a good rest of this day. So I've had my own URL shortener Tony V dot me for a few years because I was using tiny URL and well Tony URL dot com was taken. So I chose to use Tony V dot me because it's short and I use a service called URLs Y O U R L S. And you have to have hosting. So I have like a go daddy host and you install the software. So it's a little complicated to set up. But then it's my own URL shortener. I'm the only one who uses it. Nobody else. Wes fryer has a really great write up on this. So if you look up Wes fryer and URLs Y O U R L I can't spell out loud. You are L's with the with the word you in it. So now there are two people here. Uh huh. This is Chris Giles. How you doing? Oh microphone. What's up? Tell me about your button. Oh hey. This is my second button. And she told me it's one of the top three that she's made all day. Oh you can go like somewhere and make a button right now. Yeah. It's a Skype Microsoft booth. You go in and you could choose you have 18 different backgrounds to choose from. And then they have a little circle so you know where to stand. They have tape on the floor so you know where to stand. And then you know my first one was like but my second one was beautiful. Yeah. Do you want to what's what's your big takeaway from SD 2015? This is my first time being here. So my takeaway is I've kind of overwhelmed and I've gone to a few sessions and then you walk out and you go I've gone to one session but I missed 17 other ones that I really want to go to. And then I've called FOMO. I know and then fear of missing out. Yesterday I spent half a day in a session walked out and realized I missed 500 other sessions I wanted to go to but my half day session was excellent. Good good. So I think my takeaway is I need to come next year. I haven't come for a couple years and I kind of I mean I've had fun. I love this and Periscope's been really fun. But when I'm at home I can be in all the sessions at once. When I'm here I can only be in one session at a time really. So there's some advantages to hashtag not at ISTI. And I find was when I wasn't here I followed the hashtag at home. Here I don't follow the hashtag at all. I'm just so busy walking around this session session. I haven't even been on the hashtag to see what people are posting other than my own stuff and I post it. Well the hashtag ISTI 2015 is pretty useless. I mean it's just like it flies by so fast. Yeah so like in my session and and a lot of others we have our like our own session hashtag. Otherwise you'd never find things within that room. That totally makes sense. Yeah I think it's like crazy. So I need a picture today with you when you have time. Yeah well here well sometimes people will screenshot for me. Yeah and so I hate vertical video you know that but I'll do that. Tony hates vertical video and comic stands. Sometimes I have to embrace both but there's hearts for that. You were warned. Oh and then Charlotte all would be like Tony's walking around with his camera and we didn't even know until like halfway into the conversation and they looked and wait a second what are you doing. The wild part is that there's you know 31 people watching right now and they can ask questions. Oh that's really neat. Well the answer is yes no and sometimes. So so now I got to talk to John Samuelson. Are you busy John. No if Tony Vincent asked me I am never too busy for Tony Vincent. That is a rule of my life. So John what I do is I linger on people's name tags while they talk so they people screenshot or they try to find you. So I want I want to hear about your poster but before this there's something I found out people don't know. You've changed your Twitter name. Used to be iPad Sammy and you're still iPad Sammy in my heart but you're also John Samuelson. When you change your Twitter name do you lose all your followers. What's what's the process. What happens there. It's not really too much of a process. I managed to lose probably about 4500 to 5000 followers actually is how much I lost but that was just because I think there were a lot of bot accounts that just follow iPad maybe or look for Apple things. So there are they really followers if they're just kind of phony accounts. I don't know. So so you can go on a Twitter and you can change your username anytime. It doesn't change your profile pic. It doesn't change anything but but your username in that URL. Your followers come with you. The people you follow are there. Yeah no it's seriously it's that easy. I just what I did was I was holding my name along for a long time and then I decided finally to switch over. So I just went in and released my name real quick and then I typed it in and it's just typing it in the settings and then you're right back and then I saved iPad Sammy just in case I didn't want anybody to jump on it. That's that's exactly Sammy's. So people have been parents coming. I was around with my friend Wendy Wells yesterday and she's trying to tell people well it's Wendy Wells Ed Tech but there's no C and so we had a little strategy session after that and she changed her her Twitter name to the Wendy Wells because there's already a Wendy Wells and and that's easy to say and you know and it did affect her periscope account weird but otherwise there's not really any bad effects but I did tell her go back in and get your old one and tell people you have a new one just you know through a different email address. Okay so a question from the internet. What is an innovation strategist. Yes well I'd like to think it's a fancy word for a tech person but what we do in our district is well in our district this year it can mean anything that your boss tells you that it means but for us we do a whole combination and we try and get teachers integrating technology by teaching model lessons. We advise them on what types of devices they need in their classroom. We advise them on what to use so they basically tell us what they're trying to teach and then we try and go in and try and help them with whatever tools we have in our bucket to try and get them learning and integrating technology and getting kids to be creative. People watching let's do a little brainstorming there's been so many different names for tech specialists tech coaches innovation specialists what are some other ones that you've heard and while they're typing do you have what what are their names have you possibly been called. Well and we're so we're called whatever what's our nickname at the they call us in the district office in Ostrats which oh I like that yeah I was thinking so I'm thinking we need to change it now that what they're trying to do is we're we're actually talking about this this morning I think that I'm I like tech dudes but so what we're they're trying to change us to future ready something and then I'm like I definitely am not going the future ready route so they might we might have a bunch of other people and then I will protest silently and not take that title so I think we we need to be more future ready that's toaster teacher on special assignment that's legitimately what we are we're just hostess so yeah well yeah so anyway okay so you have a cool poster here and everything's about signal to noise it looks like you have a twitter account for this it's the student media film festival and we want to hear about it okay so this is one I took this over so you know Tony when you move across country you just take a new job in a district and they give you their 15 year old film festival to take over because the person's retiring and so there's not too much pressure as we have about a thousand people attend so I tried really not to mess it up too much but now we're kind of trying to take it to the next level we've got a video over here let's see if we can actually get it going a video over here that's our high school drama winner that I think really translates well because it doesn't need a lot of sound in here and it's we there are many categories the kids make five minute videos we have a maker space coding festival and teachers and students show off what they're doing before the film festival and then we have a big award ceremony so look at this can't I'm admiring the camera angles no you should watch this Tony you would really enjoy this one and I did this is one of those films I showed down at the mobile learning experience me after Istie's done yeah right and so I think that this is a I think this is a great video I and the whole family got involved with this one and it's on the Oregon coast it's called home and it doesn't have a lot of dialogue it's just you know it speaks for itself so and we have different categories there's like PSAs create there's music video news reporting all sorts of things so we're trying to now take it over and give it our own little flair since it's been going in the same direction for about 15 years so where can they watch these online yes so we have a website right now and what I and you'll like this one Tony the what what we're trying to do right now is I'm trying to figure out ways they haven't really been releasing the videos which I think is a crime for the district so I'm starting to go through the YouTube straighten it out make them public instead of unlisted and we're making Stampsy sites right now so what Stampsy is it's like a Pinterest that has makes it into a fancy website and this is the first one I use where we're putting up all the finalists and the yes it looks like cannon beach right it is and so um so we're going to make Stampsy sites drama is the first one I did but we the finalists have been being shown but we want to show we the winners have been being shown we want to show the finalists too so we're going to make Stampsy sites and then if you follow that video BSD account we're just going to start tweeting out the stamps and you can watch them because they're great the K through 12 it's awesome we love doing it we just I just feel like we need to display the kids creativity more this video is getting a ton of hearts it's like I want to like I want to watch you talk but at the same time I think people would be mad if I turned away right now don't watch me talk watch this video it's in it's incredible because the boy right there is in junior high school and it's great to see them after they won the for best drama because I think I believe the girl's a junior hunter and you can see the whole okay you got to see it and you can see the whole family there it's really great and I remember I showed this one to my wife and she's like gosh it almost brings a tear to my eye at the end because it really does it's good so the videos cannot be this one is about at the limit it's five minutes is the limit on the videos but that's something because the festival has been going so long we're considering changing for certain categories and make condensing them a little bit. How do you spell Stampsy? Stampsy just like it sounds S T A M P S Y it's a new website I got it off product hunt it's a great website so instead of making pins you're making stamps and it takes it you know but the the it takes all these videos and it makes it into a nice looking website it almost reminds me of sway by Microsoft I've been watching sway by Microsoft how it comes down and they're trying to get a little bit fancier at Microsoft with their stuff and and so sway I think is the first example of Microsoft might be trying to make its comeback and it looks a lot like that but Stampsy is a free website anybody can start using it so it's really good and if you follow the video BSD Twitter today I'll tweet a link to one of the other videos on Stampsy and then you can go ahead and you know look at then you can probably get to the site from there oh that's great so there it is but okay yeah it's a it's a great thing and uh yeah this is one of my sessions at mobile 2015 learning experience I wonder who invited me oh wait it was Tony Vincent it was you so it was good and I don't know I just like to do stuff that's that's different and I think that this is really something where we're trying to combine maker spaces coding and video creation I'm really a big fan of the creativity using technology right now and you can do this in the classroom no no Scott Hackey is the originator he's the person who luckily retired and I took his job and so Scott Hackey gets the credit and Todd Fremeth is another person those are the two main people 2007 right there's some stuff from there 2007 and so we have some different examples they were um they're big fans of like the printed stuff and I keep saying you don't need all the printed stuff here you we can but um I like some of it just for archiving it yes yes and so what what I'm trying to do is I always I always was talking to Scott a little bit about it and I said okay we need to get our like logo a little bit more concise and things but yeah he has his I really like the stuff he he's been a digital arts teacher in Beaverton um gosh since the late 80s I believe so yeah and we have it at a big uh we have a big screen where we show all the winners so everybody in the auditorium and we we have to actually take like an hour to raise up the screen and we have a nice time lapse of that too I could tweet that out too but yeah that I that's because I learned from Tony Vincent can make cool this is a good opportunity for a time lapse video and then we made that one so it's pretty cool but yeah thanks for stopping by we John you are and we need we need some serious hearts for for John Samuelson thanks everybody for listening Sam C like that people are jumping all over that okay so pins are out stamps are in I just like um I think if you teachers if you look on Product Hunt every day Product Hunt is the best website to look at new things and then maybe hack them a little bit or change them for you to fit your educational needs that's right or just pay attention to what John says because you're always on top of this you can always yeah and I tweet them out you can always follow me on Twitter the old old iPad Sammy knew just myself John Samuelson thanks John I'm so glad that I got to run into you and I'll even see you next week at Tech Camp yeah I'm getting ready to jump on a plane on Sunday and come right back all right I'll see you there John is great we we do a Tech Camp in Tucson for the Arizona K-12 Center and he's uh co-teaching one of the the week-long classes for teachers that we have down on there he's teaching with um John Spencer about uh making your writing published so uh follow follow John Samuelson because I'm sure he'll be tweeting out from that camp all week I might even be periscoping from the camp so um now I'm just now I'm just wandering around but uh as I'm wandering around so many people here have mentioned they must follow me on periscope and they say that I keep making their phone buzz so much but I've only been doing like maybe the most five in one day maybe four but I guess that those notifications can add up um oh here's students here so let's let's do that one uh body chemistry do you guys mind being on camera being on the internet you don't mind okay so so I have a microphone so that people can hear you really good I want to know all about your poster here called body chemistry so can who wants to do the the most the talking you okay so tell us who you are and where you're from it and tell us about your poster okay hi we're from Mexico City we are from Godwin Institute and we came here with our project that is named body's chemistry it's an app from the app store you can download it it's totally free it's about here it is app store and it's a game based like on yes that's the icon it's a game it's play like mostly candy crash it the levels are divided in the parts you have on your body we have the brain the blood that's the brain and it tells you like you have oxygen magnesium carbon and oxygen in your body and you play making as many match as you can you got 37 minutes 37 seconds to make as many as you can it's making chains if you don't know which chain to make or anything you make the shuffle button and it will catch you to moves but it will shuffle all the elements and we do also have the part like where you learn what does the oxygen does in your body and there's a brief explanation learn before you play yes we learn it we've got our chemistry class and we were like it would be really useful to have on your phone what does the oxygen for classes does in your body what does the hydrogen and so on the fluoride fluoride and sodium and so on well it also have a part like here where if you play it'll it is not all like only the part of the game but if you put brain it will come the elements that are in the brain like it is not only like okay i'm gonna play so because you only also learn because while you are like playing like in your brain it stays stays the elements that are in your brain well in this case or in your skin or in your bones and so on well we came up with the idea well we developed this project because um in our school we're from Mexico City the teacher told us that the subject in which students struggle the most is chemistry and and she told us why not you like you create an app which can motivate and get interested will make the students interested in chemistry by using this app while you play you learn okay can i ask questions now all right so first of all before a question you might have the best giveaway this is so neat for an app this is an eraser correct so it's an eraser with their app icon on one side and a qr code that i'm assuming goes to the app store to download it goes to the page about it and then you could download that is genius i love these i can have one right uh oh and a pencil oh awesome body cap so that's the name of the app so now um we're some questions online too for people that are that are watching uh did you was it all female people that that worked on this so so no no boys involved that's that's you're the team the three of you uh did you have were there other teams at your school building different apps um no not it was just they created we have other two teams created by the web page not an app now okay so then what did you use to make the app we use x code the software from mac it's an app it's an app to create specifically apps for the app store yeah so that's not sometimes there's these websites that you can kind of make you know you code online but you're using the real deal you're using what all the other you know big time programmers in the app store use right when you're using x code yeah for sure so what was your biggest surprise in making your own app well the research you have to do because it is not only like the design it also like you have to think what you're gonna do because it is not also not it is not just like okay i'm going to create an app but what what i'm gonna use like the purpose so on yeah like to see like you upload your app and then to see like a hundred people downloaded you are like wow they want my app and they search it and they find it i think that's really like exciting do you guys check every day to see your downloads not every day but yes like twice i have an app in the app store called stick around and i check the first thing i do in the morning before i like even get out of bed as i get my phone i'm like okay what are the sales because they only apple only reports at every 24 hours right so um and so i just always interested to see you know how many how many and it's all over the place if yours is anything like mine you know one day you have several the next day it's like oh we're like one or zero see like it was unloaded in nation and you can see what countries they were downloaded in so apple makes all this information available to developers when they've submitted to the app store yes that's really exciting to see i got a hundred downloads you're like well my app is on a hundred iphone all over the world uh people want to know the name of your school godwin institute okay let me let me get your logo there for your school the goodwin institute in mexico city how long are you in the united states for them are you standing one week you're here nice anything else you want us to know about your app or what you learned from it it's basically it and we will be so excited to know if it works for people to help really a student like eight graders seven graders that are studying chemistry and i think it will be very do you have plans for a future app what do you have plans for a future app well by the time no we're like in the process for arranging in the app for ipad for it looks like equal to the one that is on on the iphone so people ask me because i have one app and i don't want any any others because i just want to work on that one because it takes time right so how long did it what can you tell me a timeline of when you started your app to what it is today um we started it like in february and we like finished like in may kind of did you know x code before you got started or you learned x code because you had this app idea yes because my friend sissy last year she made an app about math so you wanted to do it too yeah yeah we participated oh thank you thank you for sharing people of and when if they when they like something they can give hearts so let's see let's see the hearts oh there they are oh it's gonna get colorful they do they do i love that you're learning and helping other people learn at the same time that's brilliant i'm so glad you came to isti enjoy the rest of your time here yeah it's it exceeds on on youtube so if you follow me on twitter is it on there um tony vincent you'll see it you could even tune in right now if you get the periscope app you're welcome thank you they were amazing and they tag team that so well it was it was really good edutopia has a booth well the thing about periscope is it never tells you how much battery you have left you just have to wait until you get that warning so i think i am going to wind down here i have a session at 115 uh about my app stick around i get a half hour to kind of talk talk about i want it to be like half about the development and the things i've learned kind of like the insight that those girls had had said too so um that's exciting to see though a lot of people have been leaving isti like they say they're um they're going oh is wendy periscoping she might um i didn't get to periscope my session this morning i wanted to do like a like a pre-show when i was walking around talking to people that we had a terrible connection in that room so it really depends on the room here at isti yeah um if internet works but like i was saying so many people are leaving early that maybe uh internet will get better because there won't be so many people here um so the other thing i plan to do i've taken a lot of pictures when i go to sessions or things that i couldn't record from and i think i'll take you guys through my photo album as a way to kind of review what i've what i've seen at isti so keep your notifications on or check back later to see that so uh i guess i'm off to find lunch we'll see you later
