  • Technology Mission City Schools of Decatur (CSD) promotes the effective and appropriate selection, integration, and utilization of technology resources in our schools for rigorous, engaging, intentional, and developmentally appropriate learning experiences. The districts mission is to provide students with technology tools to not only achieve curriculum objectives and state standards but also provide life skills. To enable our graduates to be successful in post-secondary endeavors in the 21st century, the technology department will provide support and opportunities for all students and all staff. Technology will play an essential role in teaching, student learning, communicating with families, and district operations.
  • Slide 5
  • All students and teachers will have equal access to appropriate and high quality technology resources and tools as they work to master the Georgia-required curriculum. The combination of the Ziggi HD and Wireless Station for iPad provides students and teachers in all grade levels (K 12) with another high quality technology tool that can be integrated into every content and curriculum area from math to science to culinary arts.

  • Supply and Demand Currently (July 2013) in limited supply Additional Required Equipment The Ziggi HD can not be directly connected to a projector in order to stream the feed It must go through an iPad or computer Microphone Quality Reports that the sound quality of audio recordings could be improved Mobile Device Operating Systems Incompatible with Android OS Screen Resolution/Frame Rate The frame rate is quite low at the highest resolution (2592 x 1944) Video Recording Presenter software does not support video recording Need to use a third-party software option to conduct video recording Camera head Can not be detached from stand Warranty Only one year Technical support does continue
  • Slide 14
  • Obtain agreement from students before streaming their work Develop and enforce student procedures for transporting and handling all technology equipment Students and teachers should use hand sanitizer before and after handling all technology equipment Regularly check content on iPads Delete inappropriate content (photographs, videos, documents, etc.)
  • Slide 15
  • District and/or school technology budget IPEVO Wish Pool Decatur Education Foundation Teacher Innovation Grants Teacher Innovation Grants Donors Choose
  • Slide 16
  • Describe objects in the environment Use Ziggi HD to display pictures of various environments that are not found on/near school grounds (an amusement park, a beach, etc.). Stream to iPads that are in the hands of students. Students will locate then use the language of the standard to name and describe the shapes of the objects and their relative positions in the various environments. Common Core State Standard K.G.A.: Identify and describe shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres). 1. Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to. NETS-S: Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources.
  • Slide 17
  • Streaming the performance of dissections In the lesson Flex Your Biceps, students can have an iPad sitting at their dissection stations alongside the dissection equipment. The iPad will be streaming the dissection process in real-time, as demonstrated/modeled by another student.Flex Your Biceps Georgia Performance Standard S7CS2: Students will use standard safety practices for all classroom laboratory and field investigations B. Demonstrate appropriate techniques in all laboratory situations. NETS-S: Creativity and Innovation Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology.
  • Slide 18
  • Analyze and Critique Work Use the Ziggi HD to display a students drawing or painting. Stream it to individual student iPads. Students use the IPEVO Whiteboard app to analyze and critique each peers work of art. Common Core State Standard VAHSDRPR.4: Keeps a visual/verbal sketchbook journal, consistently throughout the course, to C. Analyze and critique works of art personal, peers, and professional. NETS-S: Communication and Collaboration Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.
  • Slide 19
  • Content SS2G1 (Grade 2): Use the Ziggi HD to display a topographical map of Georgia to student iPads. Small groups each identify and represent a different region and share their work with the class. Process All standards and grades: Display any assignment using Ziggi HD and iPads. Students can work independently or collaboratively in the part of the room most conducive to their learning (desk, carpet, table, hallway, etc.) Product W.3.3 (Grade 3): Display a mystery object related to another content area standard (a 1996 Olympics souvenir, a fossil, etc.) via the Ziggi HD and iPads. Students will write a narrative that develops their varied responses to the mystery object, using descriptive details.

  • Case Study 1 Broadneck Elementary School Benefits of Document Cameras over other Classroom Technologies Real-time displays allows for immediate feedback and instruction Increased student attention and on-task behavior Display of work caused students to be more organized and neat Case Study 2 Dysart Unified School District Technology Integration in Canyon Ridge School Daily incorporation of student-centered instruction Increased student motivation and engagement Students love to be the teacher Note: Neither case study utilized IPEVOs Ziggi HD. This research is about document cameras in general.
  • Slide 23
  • Identify teachers and support staff that are currently utilizing a document camera (any brand/model) for instructional purposes on a regular basis. Purchase a minimum of one combination (Ziggi HD & Wireless Station) per school. Select at least one teacher from the compiled list to pilot the use of this combination. The media specialist from each school will oversee the pilot using the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM). Order and set up Orient teachers to IPEVO Support Site Collect data and annotations regarding use

  • While completing this project, I realized it is imperative that technology coaches possess the research, organizational, and presentation skills necessary to recommend the integration of emerging technology after selecting and evaluating it. This experience strengthened my ability to step back and look at the big picture. For equity purposes, I wanted to choose technology that could be used in most teaching environments. I also had to consider the districts existing technological resources that are necessary for this combination to be fully operable. Finally, I had to communicate my research and recommendations in a clear and professional manner. Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action. Peter Drucker
