Pick one, and contact me if you need to reschedule.   I can also be available during the holiday week (just ask), but did not want to make anyone feel obliged.

A cool way to see some remote areas

If you're like me, you've wished for a way to bike along the railroads along rivers.

Canvas restored, but....

not everyone has been restored to the course.  I'm going through one-by-one.  Don't sweat tonight's "deadlines". 

If we also discover missing projects/assignments that weren't already on your blogs/wikis, we'll figure that out together.

Canvas is Down - June 15, 3pm

I'm letting you know that I am aware of the Canvas problems.  It is a university-wide problem and it has affected all of you (and me).

I cannot access my own course (or roster, or list of assignments, etc), so I'm building an alternative platform for the interim, and perhaps we'll stick with that.

Hang in there.

Augmented Reality - Watersheds and More

Last summer our H-B Woodlawn and Yorktown high school interns Ben, Bryan, Alex and Eddy built an augmented reality sandbox with one of long-time favorite teachers Carey Pollock and some great folks from NoVa Labs (retired engineers Nick Carter and Sharon Dempsey).  The NoVa Labs folks built their own the following semester.

Carey aimed even higher, developing a plan with a detailed budget that could be replicated by teachers confidently.  She also applied for funding from the Falls Church Education Fund, which always seems receptive to integrated science and technology learning projects. 

Carey's students finished this week.
