I have been messing around with ePortfolios for a couple of years. I want figure out a simple way for students to take pictures, video and record audio as well as  load them onto their chromebooks. My end goal is a fun, beautiful digital space created by students, about their lives and ultimately communicating about connections they make in our biology class.

Students design and create products using digital manufacturing techniques, 3D Printers, Laser cutters, CNC equipment.

Our tech teacher has a laser cutter/engraver and has done a variety of projects with students. I don't think that he has time to attend, but may have time to chat via email. Email Stephen Lindridge at slindridge@candorcs.org

Students engineer & design products which are then cut or etched into wood, acrylic, leather & metal- talk about creativity & joy!

I support Heather's idea for an extensive coding club offering. Also the digital storytelling described beside this post. I think both of these and the idea below would make it easier for students to connect to students in other schools and districts. Coding clubs and digital storytelling can give purpose to student communication- sharing projects, ideas, problems.
I would also like to have trail cameras for our forest. Students don't seem aware that there are animals near us! ideally, I would love a live feed , but good old cameras with motion sensors would be great! Using computational skills to figure out how to count data and then analyze it gives real world reasons for CT. Also, this again gives purpose to school to school communication- You have 20 deer? We only have 2! Skunks! I amm glad you have 5 and we have none!

One of our teachers got a grant to get two of these for Earth Science. Feel free to contact her if you would like to make a connection

Using green screen & we video for narrative creation has been very powerful at our school as well as scratch coding. I would love to explore more tools ideas and resources fully, (stop motion, graphic novel creation with photos, etc...) I want to make so me very user friendly opportunities for teachers and kids to integrate digital story telling.

Music Production:
- Song, as a form of literacy, carries current and historical narratives across cultures and forward through generations. I want to explore ways to amplify student voices using sound recording technology as they write and record songs collaboratively. This will deepen their engagement within the context of curriculum; that others may experience their perspectives.
- Produce theme and/or background music for student podcasts, documentaries, programming projects.

Holistic Fitness: How Tech Influences Health (physical, mental, social).                Despite all the scientific evidence stating the value of exercise, obesity and depression are still on the rise. How can we use the data obtained from FitBits to find the right "fit" to create lifelong healthy habits. How does personality connect with the use of tech and physical performance. What are the best methods/tech tips to educate students on their responsibilities to themselves in regards to wellness.

The voices of CTE students are rarely heard. A digital storytelling project would allow CTE students in Dryden to show how much joy they feel about the learning that takes place in their programs. It will also allow the CTE students and other Dryden students to participate in the creation of oral histories and delivery of those histories over the Web. We hope this will serve as a pilot project that will benefit a variety of audiences, such as potential CTE students, their parents, and counselors throughout the TST BOCES area.

Our bird garden is visited by many varieties of migrating birds. We would love to be able to have a recorded video feeder watch (with sound!!) linked with the Lab of O and another school to study the migratory patterns of birds that come through our area, to study nesting and feeding habits.

I would love to create a scratch-based elementary level block coding club that takes place during the school day, includes ALL grades 3-5, and grows into a diverse MS series of clubs that tackle the CSfirst challenges, and results in growth and diversity in the 9-12 levels, opening doors to engineering, eSports and robotics pathways.  Specifically, I would like it aimed at mitigating the AI issues and lack of diverse representation we see in CS in post-high.

I would love to figure out a way to get heart rate monitors for the middle school.   It will show on the apple TV anonymously the heart rate and it will sync in the computer and kids will get graded on being participating in their heart rate zones.  We find with the lack of fitness our kids have as a whole its really difficult to monitor effort because what it takes for me to get into my target heart rate zone is much less work than say a cyclist would have to do to get in his target heart rate zone.

I was speaking with a 6th grade math teacher who is interested in exploring how  he could use a Sim City simulation as a cross curricular  project.   I think that this is just the beginning of the idea phase for a project but if anyone has thoughts/suggestions please contact Adam Young ayoung@candorcs.org

I am interested in exploring a regional robotics competition for students new to programming.  We have some Lego Mindstorm EV3 robots and I would like to use them with middle school students.  Not sure if we have anything like First Lego League in the region but it might be a good model.
