So below I have outlined a new feature that has been launched to make this app easier to use as well as a tutorial about app smashing that allows you even more freedom to create with My Words.
This video tutorial is in response to two areas that teachers were asking about.... How do I use My Words with Spanish language learners? How do I move beyond just photos to put words into a context? This is my response using Pic Collage and My Words and your MyOsmo account.
This project was by far the largest amount of 3D printing that I have ever done and what was amazing was how smoothly it went and the beauty of the student creations.
Our first graders started by designing an insect that had the required parts of an insect. This drawing activity really enforced the concept of the characteristics of an insect. The insect could be a real insect or an insect that has yet to be discovered. I had printed several examples so that students had a concrete idea of what the insect would be made of.
One important note is that I should have had students trace the pencil drawing without lifting their black marker to ensure that no pieces of the body were not connected. We had a few butterflies that fell apart after being printed.
​To capture our student drawings, I used the new feature in the MakerBot PrintShop app called Shape Maker.
​For some of the drawings, it took several times to catch the insect correctly but most of the insects were very easy to capture.
​So last week was the first week of SP Innovation Lab 3D Printing and Design and a lot of lessons were learned. We used Google Classroom to share several different 3D design programs for our students to use.
I had hoped to use Project Ignite with Tinkercad but we quickly realized that Tinkercad wouldn't work on the student iPads so we focused on using MakerBot Print Shop and Cubify Draw. We spent 2 days on creating designs and then selected one design to be printed.
Several of our Cube cartridges have decided that the chip overrides reality. I have two filament cartridges that are full but the chip that the printer reads has decided that it is empty. So at first I reached out to 3D Systems and they sent a new cartridge but then it happened again. So I started to search about how to override the chip and this post was it.
This week I learned a valuable lesson about metal spatulas and removing prints from the build plate. In my desire to remove the print quickly, I did not follow the safety procedures I should have. I had just added new glue to the build plate so the print was well adhered to the build plate so instead of rinsing the plate in water, I decided to use the metal cricut spatula that I use to remove prints from the blue tape on the MakerBot. I wasn't paying attention while I tried to pry the build off, which eventually gave and the metal spatula kept going right into my thumb. Three stitches later I think I learned a lesson that I will never repeat when removing a print from the build plate.
Sphero City is really growing. One more week and then it will be time for the Spheros to occupy the city.
This year we have been able to use a smaller dedicated area for a learning space and more in-depth investigations in 3D printing, electronics, circuitry, robotics, and more. The space is called the SP Innovation Lab and currently is open from Tuesday through Friday during second recess for our 4th and 5th graders. Our first group of 12 students started this week.
Using Google Classroom, students are learning about different resources that they can use on their iPads. Students are using MakerBot Print Shop. First they started with creating a design on paper and using the app to take a picture and create a 3D design. Tuesday and Wednesday have been days of design and exploration. Thursday and Friday will be the start of printing using the MakerBot and Cubes.
So most of you know that I am not the first person to try something new unless I can get it free or for very little money ..... which may have led to my fascination with Google Cardboard. I had read some pretty cool things and after attending Constructing Modern Knowledge and meeting Josh Burker who had created a way to create his own pictures for virtual reality Google Cardboard, I was quite intrigued.
My intrigue led to me buying two google cardboard sets - one at under $5 and the other at $15. They arrived and I quickly realized that I get what I pay for. Let's just say that if you pay under $5, you will get the cardboard but maybe only ONE lens. Now the lenses are rather essential... so don't make the mistake I made. It could cost you more to send it back then to actually keep it and waste your money.
So now I had the Google Cardboard, my iPhone, and a free app that I downloaded. I loaded my iPhone into the Google Cardboard and couldn't wait to experience virtual reality. But..... I got motion sickness. I posted on Facebook about my experience and several other people responded that they too had this issue. To be honest, the fact that it made me sick caused me to have real reservations about bringing it into my classroom.
Week 3 of Sketchnoting and Rock Our World had an awesome twist.... 1:1 iPads. So this week students were able to collaborate and learn together while creating using their own iPad.
We have been using Google Classroom for students to receive the videos that Carol Anne is creating about sketchnoting. This week the focus was on layout.
So one of the assignments was to apply what we are learning about sketchnoting. In previous weeks we learned about fonts and containers. This week students choose from Pic Collage or Canva to create a sketch note about some awesome videos from DNews.
DNews are short videos created by Discovery focusing on interesting questions and topics. I select specific videos that I think students will find interesting into google classroom and then each team decides which video they want to sketchnote about.
The other assignment was to explore GarageBand on the iPad and create an original music clip. Teams focused on one of the assignments and then will have time throughout the week to complete the other assignment.
