The document summarizes the NetGenEd 2013 conference, which focused on multimedia works about emerging technologies in education. It provides details on the participating schools and award categories, including MOOCs, tablet computing, games/gamification, learning analytics, 3D printing, and wearable technology. The top award in each category and some honorable mentions are recognized. The meta-judge, Aaron Maurer, is introduced and explains how meta-judging of the first and second place winners in each category works. The honorable mention, third place, second place and first place winners are then announced and commended for their works about wearable technology, learning analytics, and MOOCs respectively.

11. Meta-Judge Awards
The meta-judge for this project is Aaron Maurer.
Aaron Maurer is the big, tall, bald, ugly, nerdy guy roaming the hallways and classroom of
Bettendorf Middle School in Bettendorf, Iowa. Aaron has been teaching in this building for
nine years. His first five years he taught 6th grade social studies, literature, and computer
before moving to ELP(Extended Learning Program a.k.a. Gifted Education). For the last
four years he has taught 4th and 5th grade ELP as well as extension classes for grades
5-8.
Aaron is looking to officially part of the Flat Classroom Community and has been working
hard on creating global projects after experimenting the last few years with smaller
projects. You can see the projects in action by visiting -
http://about.me/coffeechug. The latest project is a Global Project focusing on Bald Eagles.
When not working at school, Aaron is the lucky father of three children –
Aiden(8), Addyson(6), and Ava (2 years old today - May 9th, 2013). His wife is very
patient dealing with his nerdiness. Aaron also operates a blog
www.coffeeforthebrain.blogspot.com where he provides his insights into
education, teaching, training, Lego, and more. In the other free moments he is working on
his own book titled after his mantra, Getting It Done! Lastly, he coaches boys basketball
and helps operate and coach the Lego Robotic Team.

12. How does meta judging
work?
 Divisional award winners use the rubric for judging.
 All first and second place award winners are viewed
by the meta judge who then determines the best
overall without using the rubric.
 Those who are first and second in each section are
often very close and it is understood that they meet
the criteria to be at the top of the project.

13. Honorable Mention
Judges comment: I am grouping these two
together because I think they feel the same. Very
informative. The slides were very smooth and flowed
seamlessly. The example provided in the videos
were quality examples to show your individual
topics. I am big on grabbing interest of viewer so
something to spark some interest at the beginning
would have been great to see. Something clever to
hook us right away. I think these two were very
informative and speaking was of high quality. Now
you just need to sell it!

14. Honorable Mention
 3.B.1 MarkS_SVHS_NGE FOCUS on the Camera of a Tablet
Computerand
 8.E.1 AlejandroE_ISA 3D-Printing: Expand the Realm of
Possibility
And……..
 3.B.2 RiyaP-WHSB Take a Tablet
 I also chose Take a Tablet because I liked the flow of this video.
It felt like a commercial and really just like something I would
see on TV or in a store. A few times the quiet pauses slowed
down the piece in transition. Very well done and your sources
were the best displayed of them all.

15. Third Place
Judges comment: I enjoyed this video. You used a
variety of sources and types of media. Google Glass
has been given lots of media hype already and will
be interesting to see how the public actually
responds. I think trimming the piece down of using
Google Glass for sporting event and the timing piece
of speaking at the end were two things that I think
could have been improved. You brought up some
really great points in this video. Very well done.

16. Third Place
6.F.1 CandiceZ_SVHS
Entertainment & Wearable Technology

17. Second Place
Judges comment: I thought this video had a great
opener. It really grabbed my attention from the start. Very
well crafted and put together. You raised a lot of great
points and the rhetorical question at the end was a great
way to wrap things up. The one thing missing in this
video was a list of resources for your information. I know
you spoke from experience, but finding information to
support your ideas is important. A lack of citations at the
end is the only flaw in this video. Great job of piecing
things together, speaking from personal experience to
connect with a larger audience. I really think this was the
most entertaining of engaging of all the videos.

18. Second Place
1.D.1 MerrittD-WHSA
"Moooo"vement of Learning Analytics
and Freedom

19. FIRST PLACE
Judges Comment: You told a story. It was obvious that
you planned this whole idea out from start to finish.
With the touches of humor you were able to blend in
the facts and information needed to convey your
research. I thought the first transition could have been
improved and possibly in terms of story development
why were you on a safari? I loved the theme and idea
of being in pursuit of a MOOC. Well done! This
reminded me of something I would have made if I
was a student doing this project.

20. FIRST PLACE
The NetGenEd 2013 overall
Winner……
Winner: DavisW – SVHS
Video: 8.A.1 Safari For Technology
