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

dropbox? Free cloud storage and strongly recommended! Install the free
app.
2. The Google Earth app http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html

How to create a local
youth-driven innovations incubator (Video: 5 minutes)
http://www.screencast.com/t/YU15eifgqb
All incubator content is at http://lone-eagles.com/incubator.htm
Last year, I was able to enjoy an 11
month continuation of the Digitizing Alaska project, by creating a model for
all Alaska Native villages “The Alaska Native Innovations
Incubator.” All incubator content is at http://lone-eagles.com/incubator.htm starting
with the original proposal, noting the best part on page two didn’t get funded,
but your kids in Minnesota might want to do something similar for their
communities, and I’d like to help with that. Funding isn’t needed, just
enthusiasm.
