 It's hard for both of us to be in it. Hi from Philadelphia. I'm here with my friend Wendy Wells. And we have a lot of poster sessions. Have the opportunity to visit here so we'll go to some of them. Let's go. We just came from the bloggers cafe and had some really good chats. So that was neat. And now, so Wendy, the challenge here is trying to find a good poster session where we can get to the speaker and put the microphone up to them. Sometimes that's hard because the ones that are really interesting people seem to be gathered around and you can't get to the speaker. This one is called This Is Not Your Mama's School Project. That's a cute name. That's a cute name. Did you get that? This is not your mama's school project. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, this is Wendy from the bloggers cafe yesterday. Hi, welcome back. Glad y'all could join us. And now people are complaining they're not getting much done because they're watching this instead of doing their work. Oh, you got some hearts, Wendy. That's really sweet. Yeah. My favorite Periscope moment is when Wendy met Angela Meyers yesterday. Like the broadcast before it expires, or I'll get it up on YouTube here soon so you can see that was neat. We got to see Angela Meyers shoes, too. That was important. She had some really cool, the hashtag. Shoes matter. Shoes matter, hashtag. Absolutely. Yeah. All right. Let's see. Oh, she's from the school district I taught in. All right. Well, I'll have to. Let's see if she remembers. I mean, she wasn't there when I taught there. At Morton element. That's where I student taught. Oh, my gosh. Oh, yeah. And I worked there. I worked there for six years as a before and after school child care leader there. So yeah, it was fun to meet you, too. Let's see. So they have some amazing apps. Once we know, pick collage, Pinterest, Skitch, yeah, and there's some websites on the other side, amazing tools for school projects. All right. Let's see. Yeah. So this is Julie from Omaha. Do you mind being videoed? Yeah. Yeah. There's 33 people watching right now and they're giving, like, they're giving you some hearts because they really want to hear about your poster session. They're mostly people who can't be at ISD, so they're learning about it. Come to dinner next year. Okay. Tell us about what you have here. That's where I student taught. And you were at Willowdale. Yeah. Yeah. Small world. Okay. So basically what I've done is taken apps and websites and put them all together so that instead of doing a worksheet or assessing students paper pencil, you can put technology in front of students and quickly assess what they know. I have examples of each thing. So if you don't know what Skitch is, you would flip in my book to the Skitch section and you would see 10 examples of how to bring Skitch into your classroom. Where do we get your book? You have to come here. Sorry. You can. There's my QR code. Well you keep talking. We'll leave the address on there. Does this go to Morton's website? It goes to Morton's website and then if you scroll at the bottom, you can get the handout and it lists apps and websites. They're all free or relatively inexpensive and I'm just encouraging my teachers who are just getting started with iPads to take on one thing and bring it into your classroom and have your kids become comfortable with it and then once that becomes easy in stations or morning work or however you want to use it, then you would bring in another tool. People want to see the code. I was doing the web address but they want to see the code. Okay. My code is better looking. I don't know if they can see it. The live stream sometimes doesn't have the best image quality. I think starting simple and your top app on your list here is one that I think teachers can start with really easily and that's Pick Collage because there's so many things for them to do with it. It's easy to understand and kids like using it. Right. The other great thing about it is if you have families that you want to share it with and we have pulled the Pick Collage into like our newsletter so it's on the front page of the newsletter when they get it and we try to encourage teachers to use it but we want families to use it too because it's super simple. That's awesome. Thanks for sharing. Thank you. Oh, no. You don't need to sweat. You did great. You did really great. You look great. You sounded great. Yeah. So, MPSomahad.org slash Morton is her school's website and I don't know if they have their newsletter on there or not so that might be something to check out because they put Pick Collage there. Let's see. This one has students. We've got to find this one. This one is Virtual Safaris and Beyond, Augmenting Reality in the Classroom. Oh, I hate that I'm on my phone right now. Do you have a phone, Wendy? Can you scan that code? I want to know what this is. One of their posters says, we made these photos come to life. Scan them using their Arasma app. It looks like they've used Show Me and look, they have some of the kids cut out in little speech bubbles with a QR code. Okay. So, you scanned. You scanned this. Is that a beaver? It's a puppet and then you can watch that puppet in a puppet show. Yeah. I don't think the internet's going to cooperate but frozen but we, yeah, okay. We've got to talk to one of these kids. It's a little hard to get them. The Augmenting Reality app back here is making it come to life. Yeah. You have to work your magic, too. I know. Yeah. I don't like to push my way through places, though. Which app? Arasma. The purple letter A is the app they use to make their augmented reality so they make a picture and they can make it come to life using the picture as a trigger in Arasma. Let's see. There's a little video that's playing. Looks like they're having a great time in that video. Hi from Ohio. Hi from Pennsylvania. This class is from Philadelphia. Oh, they're from Philadelphia. Oh. Well, it makes sense that they're here. Wait. We might not get to talk to them right now. Well, maybe we can come back. Oh. Get her. Yeah. Do you mind talking into the microphone? Well, first, you have to take a picture and then you've got to tap it two times and then you can put it, you have to tap it two times and then you can swipe it away and then you can read it or figure out what it means and does like that. That's what it means. So did you get to make one of these? Yes. Which one did you make? Well, I made a cheetah and I made a cristianmigucci. What did you learn by making one? Well, we learned by making one with a rasma because like if you go back and you see this, you press it and that's how you get to a rasma. Get to a rasma and stuff like that's how you get to a rasma is like if you want to like do these and you've got to go to a rasma and do that. Well thank you for showing me that. You're welcome. Yeah. So with augmented reality the picture acts as a QR code so you don't need the code but you need an app and you need to subscribe like to a channel so it knows what to put there. But I couldn't hear her very well but hopefully Periscope people could because I put the microphone really close to her but it's so loud in here. So loud. They were. All right. Let's make a loop this way. She got lots of hearts. That was good. She was a little shy but stem little sprouts. Oh whoa. This is we're not getting through there. So this is why they call the app Periscope so you go like up and put your arm up there. What I was thinking kinders with iPads is the name of this one. If you go to do the SD 2015 website look at the program and look up this poster session what I was thinking kinders I bet hopefully they have a link or something there because we'll have to check that out a little bit later. Crowded. Yeah. Next one of the themes around here has been app smashing combining apps so yesterday was the the smash pub and there were others a drink menu and you made martinis with apps that's how they got teachers to understand workflow with apps. So this one is called they did the mash the app mash when you do you know are you do you recognize all those icons your name of all the yes yes pic collage show me pop let the camera they are labeled but if they weren't labeled you could still do it. Hi aunt. Do you mind being recorded? Do you mind taking a microphone and telling us about they did the mash the app mash. At mashing is when you take one app and you make something in it you save it to your camera roll and then you put it into another app to enhance it typically we're at the elementary level we the enhancement is adding voice to it but these are some of our favorite apps for app mashing and taking them into another app and making it better yep absolutely yep that's me what's your what's your favorite smash ever my favorite smash ever my my most favorite app lately has been thing link because they can make anything and in other apps and save them and then put them all in thing link so we just did a fifth grade branches of government project they made a chatter kid they made a doodle buddy they researched and then we put everything in the thing link so I received one product with a link to all of their products instead of getting a chatter kid a doodle buddy the text and all that yeah so it's super cool thank you and you have do you have anything online a s'more you have a s'more okay leave it there for a moment all your favorite apps for app mashing are right there nice thank you right and thank you here I'll show up so there's like 40 people watching and let's see got some hearts for and nice hello I use it for everything awesome yeah thank you okay oh there I thought I lost Wendy Wendy's been been following me so let's see what else we have here oh yeah so this one's iPhoneography using your iPhone to take and enhance photos and it talks about Instagram let's say this is William King hey William do you mind being on camera do would you like to take a microphone and tell that this is on Periscope there's about 40 people watching right now so while you talk I'll kind of pan across things and your name okay my name is William King I'm the head principal at balling green high school got hired the day before I left for Isti so but it's the same school I've been at for 14 years just just went from freshman principal to head principal but basically what we do we try to tell the story of our school if we don't tell our story about our school or classrooms somebody else will tell it for us be at the school across town on angry parents on angry students so we try to you know filter in a negative share to positive so we do a lot with school media relations we have a school Facebook account the school Twitter account the school Instagram account Periscope snapchat whatever it is it's going to reach kids and parents in the community we're going to join into that and so our kids all sign off on acceptable use policy which allows us to use their picture or their Twitter or their Instagram whenever we tweet out so it looks like we're at every event but we have four administrators we all have access to it so you might be the boys game I might be at the girls game you might be at the swim meet and we're all shooting images and sharing that out using platforms like tweet deck or Hootsuite that way I don't have to open 40 apps 40 times from one button one time I share all that to every platform so that's very useful I have not used edgy clipper but I love Adam bellow so maybe I'll get on that shout out the edgy clipper Adam bellow check it out so then on the other side I have a lot of different fun photo apps some of these I use in the classroom or at the principal level some I just use personally but for example touch retouch is an app where you can remove things from pictures so if I've got a student that doesn't want their image in a pep rally picture I open touch retouch I paint over that student my finger hit play it removes them and captures whatever's behind them so boom they're gone I can share it out so that's great for removing you know light pole in your picture or stop sign or car that you know whatever Google snap seed is a tool tool by Google it's probably the most powerful photo editing app if I was gonna get anyone that one's awesome then there's big lens you can use that the blur kids out of a picture so if it's like a kindergarten class and I don't want kindergartners on the web but I want to picture what the teachers doing if I took that picture I can paint over the kids and blur them but still use the image you can't tell who they are then there's visco cam and mixtures those are great tools for filters square ready a lot of pictures that you take won't load onto Instagram or other sites because they're not the right dimensions so square ready I open that picture whatever the dimensions are and it it makes it fit and then I just click save and instantly tweeted out or put it on there color effects turns your pictures black and white and then with your finger you can paint back in the color so I can have a garden and I can run it through color effects makes it black and white then I can paint over a purple flower and you just see that one purple flower it's like the movie Schindler's list we have the one girl with the red jacket it's a black and white film but it's a very powerful parts the only color in the in the film so pro cameras another app so we've got all kinds of fun apps that if you'll tweet me or email me I'll send you a list 10 times longer than this but anyway it's just it's fun telling the story of your school but it's also fun you know on your personal accounts to play with images and take pictures of like Philly I've been taking a lot throughout we do photo walks and it's just it's lots of fun so yeah I just want to do a little shout out to William when you were talking about being a principal that has all the social media open that that's fabulous because that that's an inspiration for the school and for other administrators to realize the power of this and so definitely connect with William and find out what he's doing innovative in their high school so I think it's gonna be a great great year for you he's doing a quick photo op and and so adding to your apps just tomorrow I'm doing a session at 830 called finding and designing visuals for your project so I talk about a lot of those things I found one app lately that does a lot of that all in one and it's called Pixler and it's free there's no e at the end Pixler and it yeah they have it for every platform and I love it because you can do you can do the color effects you can do the blur you can do the mixture kind of things where you add overlays all in one app so it's pretty neat yeah yeah I know that you would use a mixture yeah yeah for sure so and then I see as I recognize some of these I like over for putting text on apps and path on you draw a line and then the text follows oh this is circles yeah you know but path on fun I use path on Fonto and over to share like we had a student get a perfect score on their ACT and their SAT so I download their picture from our school you know records program and then I paste it over there you know what is a perfect score on the ACT and SAT look like and it was a picture of her and so that's a great tool for that Fonto over and path on one more shout out Microsoft has an app a free app called photosynth it's also on desktop it lets you take a 360 degree image not like the iPhone camera where it's just one angle you do the ceiling the floor that's great for field trips or if it's you know the school year is getting ready to start in August for us in Kentucky I can say this is going to be your son's first grade classroom and the parents on their phone device can with their finger take a 360 degree tour of that classroom or if we're on a field trip so anyway that's a that's a powerful free tool and Microsoft has done it it's top notch so William King you are awesome and somebody and then here let's give you some hearts turn my camera around so you can see the hearts coming through they say I'll say it's great ideas I agree yeah if you want my resources if you will email me at W King BG it's on my shirt at gmail.com W King BG at Gmail I'll send you my presentation in a ton of resources and I'd love to see your pictures so Tony Vincent look up my name you'll find it it's called worth a thousand words there you go alright I get everybody else's name tags now finally somebody gets mine you're welcome that wasn't he wasn't it yeah yeah really great principally understands the power of communication particularly visual and social communication so I love that I'm sorry yes is touch cast close by I will see so much of I was telling Wendy this earlier it's like they're serendipity and what you come across like I don't like we just walk by and go to something and sometimes it turns out oh I love you too thank you people are people online can I have a little love as well yes please thank you all love the hearts you do you do love the hearts okay let me know and we'll we'll see and somebody somebody asked if I'm periscoping my session tomorrow I probably am not because I'm a well you if you want a periscope you probably you I'm not I won't stop you you can record it but I don't I probably want to do it myself just because I'm worried about the presentation and I have I I have two videos that I've dream screened in front of and are done really nicely that kind of cover the topic I don't I'll sleep on it I'll sleep on it I'll see if I see if I what I decide they're saying please yeah I don't know we'll see we'll see it's Wendy on periscope right now I am yes I am a yeah my username is the same as Twitter it's Wendy Wells ed tech T.E.K. Wendy Wells ed tech T.E.K. yeah please follow me because I just opened up my periscope account yesterday so yeah I love that she's been watching me do it and and I think she's she wishes she had a microphone right now that's why she keeps taking mine but you also can order a microphone from Tony me Tony V. me yeah so this microphone you can get the microphone on Amazon but I made a short link Tony V. me slash microphone thank you Wendy well is that how you say it Wendy Wells ed tech is that Wendy Wells ed tech that looks right Wendy Wells ed tech yes yes it is it it is it okay let's let's see here elementary school take is it there must be an elementary theme here I I should really check this before I get into poster sessions what the theme is this morning it was like global collaboration and an ecology and now it looks like so so elementary teachers love QR codes so we see a lot of QR codes around here this is a third grade heritage project yet blended learning is a is a is a big buzzword it seems to a lot of sessions are about blended learning at SD making is a big deal maker space maker space which it seems to me they're making like a lot of different things to for learning which we've done a lot a lot and here's here's one about genius hour there's a lot of people here so I don't know if I can just walk right up behind the behind the counter like I did the other one you might you might get tossed out I'm not sure I can't even get into ask her she wants to on the microphone so so be another well to make a second looping get to the ones we get to if my battery lasts that's the I don't know how long my battery is going and with this microphone it connects to my lightning port so I can't connect my USB battery because the microphone is taking it sorry no and then Periscope doesn't tell me how much battery I have either and I'm afraid if I leave the app the the session will end yeah I am it is true they should be happy to if I'm periscoping I'm adding 30 more people that can probably hear the presentation better than we can in person because as I keep saying it's really loud in here I know about coding that's another big theme is coding here at ISD 2015 let's see there's some resources well if you guys want to screenshot this Gary Pinkston.com slash SD.html yeah I'm in love with this mic I just got it before I came to ISD I don't think I would be periscoping without it because it would like it's just it's really loud in here all right how you keep popping digital storytelling tips and tricks this looks like the same stuff from the Remind party last night yeah unless they got the stuff from the same store the same it's the same font same designer you you guys you are very welcome I love to this so let's let's check this out so two truths and a lie digital storytelling is really cute tips and tricks on sharing your story and building your voice in the digital space lurking is a good way to start you guys can lurk on periscope and then you can be your own periscoper absolutely now look at the bottom creating a class hash hashtag can promote transparency for community stakeholders yeah your own class hashtag you know I had the sessions here at ISD have to have their own net hashtags you can't use the ISD 2015 hashtag in a session they'll get lost in in all the other hashtags are in in all the tweets learning increases when we develop PLN so PLN is a big big buzzword as well for teachers to make sure you're connecting and you can connect all different ways like periscope the poster people are still everybody's so busy which is good it's good to when your people are talking oh somebody you're I'm glad that I could inspire you to periscope the gaff summit I think it's how you pronounce Google apps for education I think I heard they pronounce it gaff summit that's great wow oh do you mind being do you mind being on the internet do you mind being on the internet being recorded not at all do you would you mind taking the microphone and then you are in so much trouble now he gave me the mic okay so I'm Liz Bomarito and I'm here for the USC Shoah Foundation we have a website called eyewitness

need you to go to eyewitness.usc.edu sign on register it's free poke around watch some video testimony all the videos have been indexed so that you can search for a clip that's based on a topic or a theme I've used it that way even when I'm not doing genocide studies when I'm teaching a book I'll show a clip about justice or civics or religion or faith and I use the clip it's two or three minute clip and I use the clips to spark debates to introduce a topic or just to start a discussion with my class it's totally free I I the letter eyewitness eyewitness.usc.edu totally free of charge for

come out to see where are you guys I tomorrow is a webinar at one o'clock eastern standard time they find out at eyewitness at eyewitness.com we'll be using testimony and primary resources tomorrow how to use testimony and primary resource it's a webinar online how do they get on there through our website has it they can register okay thank you thank you for sharing Owen thank you for the pen thanks enjoy the rest of Visti I'm no it's on you on my Twitter and I'm Tony Vincent on Twitter and you can see a link to that yeah you got a pen you got the like a whole pile of pens yes it's just Tony Vincent find me on Twitter there's it would be the link that just that's about this time of day and it says it's on Periscope is what is what this is called yeah all right yeah people are finding you on Twitter right now yeah they saw it on your name tag take care I do I well I've used Periscope we had an edtech day and it was just a great way to bring people in who couldn't be in so the not for Isti hashtag they're probably so excited that's great now they're sending you hearts and they sent me lots of so free pens yeah here if I if I could push this through here you can take a take a pen for people who are not at Isti well I'll take a few and put them in my purse how's that all right my little battery 20% warning so when 10% warning happens that's when we can wind down we've got to go to lunch we haven't had lunch yet yeah she was very enthusiastic and so while while you were talking to her I was a periscope and that's what she was saying that yeah that's how she found out that you don't know Tony Vincent she did not know you don't you don't have to know you shouldn't know me but she knew me so funny anyway yeah this is exciting we got some really cool stuff and hopefully you guys have a little yeah so somebody has how much does Periscope drain your battery well this morning I started with pretty close to 100% and after a half hour of walking through the poster sessions I was down to 50% so you know you get about a good hour so then I recharged as much as I could and I got up to like I don't know 80 years no I was at 60 when I started this session so yeah it's it's a big battery drain like it said I could I could I'm gonna look into a case that has a lightening that I can so I can have this microphone plugged in and a and a battery case yeah and the other thing I want to get to while we're talking about it is that I want a wide angle lens so that like when I when I turn the camera around here you really stretch my arm out in order to see me or to get to you know or have to do a lot of panning which is shaky so if I had a little wide angle lens I could slip over the top of my phone and I have a cheap one but I if I'm gonna be doing this more I probably could get one that's that's not so cheap looking at intent the phone and the microphone because there's a lot of other media people here that have tripods and the camera and so I mean this is creating the same atmosphere but in a simple way I'm on an iPhone 6 and then the microphone the microphone is the iRig HD yeah well I'm happy to bring you to SD and let's see gotta run I gotta run to so yeah it is time for lunch and to charge the yeah I haven't hit anybody with the microphone yet you almost did but we've got you we need to charge your phone and then also fun yeah yeah so so thanks for watching and we'll see you later
