ART CANOE

It was a great weekend at Quest Academy. I attended EduCamp Illinois. This free unconference style tech camp touches upon everything from teaching/learning/sharing/collaboration to technology/augmented reality/makerspaces. (http://www.edcampillinois.com/schedule.html) There are many Ed Camps across the country. Check out the nationwide schedule here:http://edcamp.wikispaces.com/Complete+edcamp+calendar. I will be checking out the book, Teach Like a Pirate, the new app  Touchcast (demo:  http://www.touchcast. com/  ), experimenting with augmented reality apps (http://www.aurasma.com/#/whats-your-aura) and working with Thinglink (see my example below). My Thinglink has already been embedded into my 7th gr. Haiku art class page.

As a part of my school's STEAM curriculum, my students designed shoes after looking at Pop Artand shoe design from the Toronto Bata Shoe Museum.
