Centennial HS teacher Matt Pirtle's ISM (Independent Study and Mentorship) student, Paige, is researching what it takes to become an author. As a part of her exploration, she had the opportunity to Skype with author Elle Casey. It was a spur of the moment event and turned out very well! It was around 4 PM here and Ms. Elle shared with us that she currently lives in France where it was around 11 PM!
Notice the use of Paige's personal tablet (BYOD). She typed her questions on her tablet before the Skype session began.

Bring Your Own Data
For Mrs. Tuck's 8th grade science lab this week, students had to record data in an unusual way. For this lab, the data actually needed to be visual. In the past, students have drawn pictures on their lab sheets to illustrate the data from their experiment. This time though, students were encouraged to bring a device to help them create their data in a different way. Instead of drawing pictures, some students took pictures with their cameras. Students who wanted color pictures then printed them from home and attached them to their lab sheet. Some students made videos, and used Google Docs to share the videos with Mrs. Tuck. Here are two great video examples of the data that students took during class with their own devices.

Making Videos
Students in Debi Brown's Digital and Interactive Media (DIM) classes at Centennial HS used their phones and other devices to take images and/or videos outside of school then transferred them to the PCs in her classroom so they could edit the images/videos for their projects. The video assignment was to make a commercial, public service announcement (PDA) or how-to video.
