Chuck is interested in considering ways to work with the kids at the workshop
and sent these videos below to enjoy!! 


While the videos play, use the up/down, left/right arrows in the circle on the screen to look all around,
from the top of a ferris wheel, no less!  Look at the ground or the clouds, spin around 360 degrees!

I've never seen this before, too cool!!!

3. HERE'S HOW TO IDEALLY PREPARE FOR THE WORKSHOP:


NOTE: The following short tutorial videos were sent to all workshop participants to explore prior to the workshop.


Of major importance is students can now create such tutorials for peers in all Boys and Girls clubs, and schools,
as a peer-to-peer innovation.

What to bring, and apps to install and explore, if time permits.

 

We’ll have many different devices, Mac and Windows laptops, iPads, iPhones, and more and the apps to install by device are below;

 

IF POSSIBLE; please encourage your advanced students to learn these apps prior to the workshop,
so they can assist others in learning to use them. Each is super easy to learn, requiring minutes only, not hours.

 

Apps to install which are compatible with all devices, Mac and Windows laptops, iPads, iPhones; maybe android phones and tablets, too?

 

1. Dropbox.com  

Do you and your students use dropbox?  Free cloud storage and strongly recommended! Install the free app.

 

2. The Google Earth app  http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html

 

3. Quicktime can also be used to create video captures for Mac and Windows as .mov files 

 

4.  www.join.me   The app installs very quickly.
