Editor's Notes
- Welcome to Minecraft, Exploration and Other Educational Apps The Wave has hit! The new curriculum is here! -your classroom -technology -apps?
- We are going to surf the wave today and my goal is by the end: You will learn the WHY we should integrate apps into our teaching One take away that you can use in your classroom
- Do you feel overwhelmed with the new curriculum, your class and technology? The wave has come. This image is “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” or called “The Wave”. It was created by artist Hokusai. This is his first print of his series of 36 views of Mount Fugi. The wave forms a circle around the center of the design. The drawing illustrates the religious terror of the overwhelming ocean completely surrounding his country.
- As we start of I have some thoughts for the next hour: Hallway Pass – leave when you want to. There are so many apps out there, and perhaps half way through the presentation you may want to go play. 2. Relax and Kick Back – This will be more of a story telling session, rather than a lecture or a presentation. Please feel free to relax and listen. And take time to reflect on these ideas. 3. Take an Idea and Make it Your Own
- You will learn WHY we should integrate educational apps and see some examples. I have videos. Thoughts and more. This session is more about why rather than just a list of apps and that makes you feel overwhelmed. If you want just an app list then take the list and use the free hallpass. Hoping you can ride the wave.

- Hack the Classroom This past Saturday John Kao Creator of Edge Makers The next video is called Life is Not a Journey by Alan Watts. It is talking about how we place kids in our school system and we forget the essence of play. Following there is footage from Netflix Michael Moore on Where to Invade Next. He takes us to Finland to explore what their purpose is in education and how they got there. Perhaps looking at Finland might be a good idea.
- Start with the Core in Mind Communication Competency Communication 2. Thinking Competency Creative Thinking Critical Thinking 3. Personal and Social Competency Positive Personal & Cultural Identity Personal Awareness & Responsibility Social Responsibility
- What are the kids saying to us? What do you think about Life is A Journey? What do you think about the school system in Finland and their philosophy? Hoping you can ride the wave.

- We used Pic Collage in our Aboriginal Reconciliation Day. The students created art, then went into Pic Collage, and then took a picture of their art and created an Art piece. Fur Trading Cards with Pic Collage. We used the game board “Lewis and Clark” and took photos of the people involved. Then they imported it into Pic Collage with a background and name.
- Aboriginal Presentation using Pic Collage
- Book Creator to tell a story!
- Book Creator Intro; All About Me; Math and Aboriginal Story Telling
- Taking apps and putting them together. The following is a video that demonstrates iBook Students had to create in Minecraft their Aboriginal Village, then they traded iPads and invaded a friend. They had to create a book describing their impacts. iMovie Aboriginal Film Festival involved students studying Aboriginal groups across Canada. They had to include structures, food and other components. These parts had to be part of their iMovie.
- Do you feel overwhelmed with the new curriculum, your class and technology? The wave has come.
- But did you know the artist also placed a circle on the image on the flip side then there is a Ying and Yang sign. So hopefully you have surfed this wave and you can understand the WHY and have a take away piece for your classroom.
