With the third quarter coming to an end, Help Desk continues to remain active in helping teachers, the school and the students. Digital LiteracyWe are almost finished with the digital literacy project, and once that is complete the middle schools in the district will benefit as their students will be more engaged and educated about being online. We are thinking of using Zaption to add an interactive video. Our lessons will hopefully be more interesting then the current ones. Java GameAs the work on my ILE continues, i have started to write the code for my game. I have written out the basic code for an introduction and player input. As well i have continued my research to make my game have random elements and to have a save feature.

They take forever to turn on and log in. They also don't have enough power to use inventor efficiently and are slow on large projects.

At Northgate Help Desk, we are starting to create curriculum and present new apps that teachers can use in the classroom. Using ZaptionLast week Nathan and I showed off the Zaption software to all the teachers at a staff meeting. Zaption is a cool tool that allows a teacher to add questions built into a video and analyze the responses. Within Zaption You can import a Youtube video or any ones you have stored, and then within Zaption add questions will pause the video and ask the viewer. Another part of Zaption is the analytics section, where the creator of the video can view information about the responses, how long people watch, etc. ILE: Adventure Game

Also I just helped Mrs. Reimer publish a website for her classes which you can look at here: www.thereimerreason.weebly.com. |
