We used google classroom daily for an agenda and linked individual data collection documents in it.  We used a few youtube sites for reinforcement of Core curriculum practice.  Students were free to search ideas on the internet for graphic design ideas.

YouTube, Google Classroom and Google Slides. Google Classroom is easy to provide the students with any documents that is needed for the class. It was also very helpful to track where each student was at within their work.

I used Google Docs/Classroom, Google Slides, and Youtube to share information and to have kids present their learning. I definitely need to brush up on my skills so I can implement more engaging tech that the kids will be more excited to use.

Used WeVideo in both classes. Went Well.

# data[].attributes.body
Kids came in and used knowledge of wevideo from other classes
I would like PD/team time focused on wevideo
Prior to MM the kids should have been trained in the basics of wevideo, how to record, how to take and insert video's and pictures to Docs as well as into the presentations via wevideo/slides.(should this be a focus for 5th grade every year?)

1. WeVideo & Movie Maker.  We also used www.videograbby.com to download and cut YouTube videos.
2. Some kids had issues w/ profile creation on WeVideo. Students couldn't utilize videograbby.com, so they had to email me the link, I downloaded them, and emailed them back.
3. Student Access to videograbby.com or another similiar source would be fantastic.

Use of Youtube composer videos. Creating folders in our Google Drive so that the students and I always knew what projects were done and what was left to finish.
Learning better ways for students to make their TV or radio commercial

We used TinkerCad, a web based 3D design software, for the design of the students playground pieces as well as the Makerbot 3D printer. The printer takes a very long time to print (average of 13 hrs).  We struggle to get our designs printed in time because with Shane's and our class printing at the same. The internet was also slow at times. It there away to eliminate the internet problem.

Screencastomatic was an easy way for kids to discuss any digital presentations - it creates a video file that allows the student to archive their work - Scribblemaps worked well also - can be used to create digital mapping

WeVideo caused some issues for us -- need to be able to easily choose any student in the school from a pre-loaded list for easier collaboration.

Future needs - more access to larger display formats so that kids can present their digital projects on a screen bigger than their school computer. Also - I wanted to be able to create a class YouTube channel to have kids upload their presentation videos to, but was not able to find a way to accomplish this.

We used the basics....google docs, google classroom, i Pad for videos, and slide show presentations. We would like the students to get more creative with the tools they use to present/demonstrate their skills. I would like to become more familiar with alternative tools in order to be more helpful to students.

# data[].attributes.body
I used WeVideo as a complex communication, culminating tool for Design On and SOAR.   I loved this format as students were able to collaborate and/or work individually.  I was able to build a media folder of the images from class and their work time they could access as well.  Easy way to use images for the building of their projects.

2-  Some students had some issues with collaborating and / or using the recording feature.  This is something we need to work with Chris or WeVideo support or each other to fix.
3-I need to research to share this products in a larger fashion for that public performance. Individual monitors and work stations for creating, editing and viewing their work would be very beneficial.

Things went really well with technology.  No server problems!!!  So that was huge for me.  We were able to use Story Jumper when we needed it.  Students were highly engaged with the use of technology so I was very pleased.

Needs: No needs for Fall Midmester, but will need things for Spring Midmester(IPADS!!!!!)

# data[].attributes.body
The yearbook used Google Docs, Slides, Forms, SS in various ways to organize or create. The theatre class would like to have better audio/microphone to record the theatrical presentations. It doesn't matter if we use a camera or an iPad.  The building needs more cameras with video options (maybe 15 more). We also need to barcode the iPads so they can be individually checked out--maybe in a case with a download/charge cord?

# data[].attributes.body
We used Google Classroom, Google Docs, and Slide Show Presentations. While it went well, we hope to have our students begin using other techonology tools in our midmester class. We also used iPads for students to video tape their challenges and progress throughout the 3 weeks of midmester.

# data[].attributes.body
Well: We Video worked a lot better than Movie Maker.  Last year we struggled with Movie Maker in our public products.  This year with We Video we experienced less problems.

Needs: none for Iowa Outdoors, might need new photovoltaic cells in Energy.

# data[].attributes.body
We Video went better this time for me and the students. Also using an Ipad to record presentations went much better too. One thing I did have problems with was sharing information. I need help with communicating more efficiently with PA business partners. Also in Pioneer Pics, I could really use some help with PIXLR.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology was helpful; especially google classroom.  We used it as a way to distribute the daily agenda with links to documents needed.

For spring we need to consider giving students access to print to the color and office copies for the STEAM fair.

# data[].attributes.body
Well - The server was never down and all the forms of technology I used were always working well. Thank you for sharing the e-book templates for google slides - my students enjoyed them and they were perfect as an option for final projects.
Needs - The color printer in the media center needs to work and ink cartridges need to be available (or I need to plan ahead and look at other options of printing in color).
Next Midmester - I can't think of anything at this time.

WELL:  high level of engagement with students
multiple use of technologies:  WeVideo, PicMonkey, Pixler (online version, not desktop), YouTube, Google Slides

network/Internet seemed to be working everyday! Yea!!

NEEDS:  better quality dongles.  I understand the need to be gentle on the cords/wires, but with the location of the port on the student computers, it makes it difficult to plug in the dongle with the student computer case.  Or perhaps a different projection system?

A discussion on technology skills is definitely needed-students do not have any understanding of how to use presentation tools such as Google Slides.  They are putting paragraphs of information on slides and simply reading the slide to the audience.  I saw this at all levels, from 6th thru 8th grade.

ongoing awareness of presentation tools so we don't 'overkill' the ones the kids already know

# data[].attributes.body
Well: no major software issues, students highly engaged
Issues: need another 3D printer, several classes needed to use the one printer and not everything was able to get printer due to time. Internet slow at times, especially the last week
Spring MM: consider having the 3D printer from the high school here to help with printing. With We Video have an organization system set up so esier to find and access pictures, etc
