  A1 - I have used it experimentally I had 1 Ss allow others to see a 360 photo and they passed it around. They loved it.
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:25 PM EDT

A1 One of the ways that I got around it was have the kids view 360 photos so they could see all the way around #fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:27 PM EDT

A1 there are so many 360 photos out there now I have my Ss use their laptops & I send them on hunts. Kids loved it #fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:28 PM EDT

Q2 with the new Pokémon craze are you considering using augmented reality in your lessons? #fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:30 PM EDT

A2 I'm starting to see Ts creating lessons to embrace this new craze I used it in summer school for geocaching with Human Geo #fusdTchat
CrazySciTeach Jul 20 @ 7:31 PM EDT

A2: I tried to do AR 2 yrs ago and struggled a lot, now it seems much easier so going to try again this year #fusdtchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:32 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach What are you going to try with AR? #fusdTchat
CrazySciTeach Jul 20 @ 7:35 PM EDT

@CharmaineGeorge I want my Ss to have targets in their notebooks that go to videos of them explaining, or pics of the lab, etc #fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:36 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach that sounds like so much fun! Do you use QR Codes for the targets? #fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:37 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach I am going to copy that idea in my class this next year. Love it! #fusdTchat
CrazySciTeach Jul 20 @ 7:37 PM EDT

@CharmaineGeorge you can, but I've seen it where a picture or drawing is the target, like a drawing of an atom goes to Ss video #fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:38 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach I'd like to learn how to do that #fusdTchat
CrazySciTeach Jul 20 @ 7:40 PM EDT

@CharmaineGeorge @JoeMarquez70 from CUSD is an AR genius! His website has tons of info https://t.co/rptWYr7hzM #fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:42 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach @JoeMarquez70 is amazing! I learned so much from him. He will be at @CATeacherSummit I'm there #fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:47 PM EDT

Q3 If you could have any new devices in your classroom this year what would you ask for? #fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:49 PM EDT

A3 I would love to have my own class set of laptops. Sharing is so difficult when you are working on projects #fusdTchat
CrazySciTeach Jul 20 @ 7:49 PM EDT

A3: as the STEM T I already have a lot of echo in my room, mostly I'd like more time to plan or lessons using it all #fusdtchat

CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:51 PM EDT

A3-On the cheaper side I would love to have VR goggles for my Ss. There are so many possibilities with these in class #fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:53 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach Maybe we could set up a Coffeedu to cross plan and brainstorm ideas for STEM #fusdTchat
CrazySciTeach Jul 20 @ 7:53 PM EDT

@CharmaineGeorge we're 1:1, it really does make a difference when your Ss have devices on a daily basis #fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:56 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach An idea we did this summer with 360 is we had Ss go to 3 Disnylnds look around and make comparissons Ss loved it #fusdTchat
CrazySciTeach Jul 20 @ 7:56 PM EDT

@CharmaineGeorge that'd be great! I tried to plan a CSI-esque unit last year and failed miserably, would love to pick your brain #fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 7:58 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach Lets do it! I get new curriculum at the beginning of Aug for CSI and I have tons of ideas for all levels #fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge Jul 20 @ 8:05 PM EDT

Well I'm going to close this week's chat. Thanks @CrazySciTeach for chatting with me. We have to get together soon :) Happy Vaca! #fusdTchat
CrazySciTeach Jul 20 @ 8:07 PM EDT
