CUE ROCKSTAR TEACHER CAMPS: A WHALE LOT OF FUN! Monterey, California

I experienced my first CUE ROCKSTAR TEACHER Camp in June 2014. It was held at York School in Monterey, California. I was lucky enough to be selected as one of the Faculty members. I am a Theatre and Film teacher so I was instantly drown to the collaborative and lets discover this together sessions during the Camp. The two hour format really allows educators to dive in to create and explore the topics of the sessions. Plus the two hour lunch format gives educators the time to connect, brainstorm and re-imagine their teaching practice.

I encourage you to sign up now for the East Leyden Teacher Camp in Chicago June 15-17, 2015 so you can exprience a CUE ROCKSTAR Teacher Camp in the Midwest.

TheatreCast #072-DocAppender Google Form Add-on for Peer Feedback and more

2015-03-15T14:34:00.000-05:00

DocAppender Google Form add on will automatically place data from a google form in a Google Doc. It just takes a few simple steps. The key to DocAppender is you need a multiple choice, checkbox or choose from a list. An ideal use would be the list of students in your class. Because of privacy concerns, or my example I choose three different StarWars scenes to evaluate the acting. It the multiple choice, checkbox, or choose from the list that DocAppender uses to determine which Google Doc the Google Form data gets placed into.

Steps.
1. Create your Google Form
2. Create a Folder in your Google Drive for the Google Docs that the Google Form data will be place into
3. Create the Google Docs in the folder you just created. Be sure to name the the same or very similar to your choices in the multiple choice question in the form.
4. Install the DocAppender Google Form Add-on
5. Go to AddsOn tab- Go to Doc Appender- Go to Sidebar
6. Select Target Doc Folder- Choose the folder you have placed the Google Docs you created previously

7. Choose Doc-Picker question- Probably your list of students, Starwars scene for my example.

8. Select what questions/data from your form to do you want placed into your Google Documents.

9. Select one of the 3 ways you would like your data formatted into the Google Documents

Rows in a horizontal table

#EdCampSTL- Gateway to Amazing Professional Development

2015-02-07T21:50:00.003-06:00

Edcamp St. Louis recharges my teacher batteries. Third Quarter is always the toughest time of the the year. But after I leave edcamp St. Louis, it helps rejuvenate my focus.

My first session at Edcamp St. Louis in 2012 was Bold School which was facilities by Matt Weld. It was engaging exciting and big pictures discussion we had in the hour. I loved that we had diverse group in the room and talk about how we can make education better. I think sometimes we get to silo-ed with our professional development. Sometime we need to take a moment to look at and discuss big picture ideas.

It is this collaborative and open space that keeps me coming back year after year.

Theatre- A 21st Century Skill since the 5th Century B.C.

2015-02-03T23:58:00.000-06:00

I recently took an online class and one of the units was on 21st Century Skills. I started to look over the list and saw so many things that we do in the Theatre classroom. Things we have been doing for years. It inspired me to focus a TheatreCast episode on how Theatre incorporates these skills on a daily basis and we have been using these skills since the Greeks in 5th Century B.C.

The list that inspired TheatreCast Episode

Share your Knowledge- "I Can't I Have Rehearsal" is no longer an acceptable excuse.

2015-02-02T23:55:00.000-06:00

The more I read about the current trends in education, the more I realize that we as Theatre Educators are experts in Project Based Learning, Maker Spaces, and creating content for an authentic audiences. We need to help our fellow educators as they join us in a world we have inhabited for a long time.

I encourage you to present professional development about how to create project based units for the teachers in your buildings. As Theatre teachers, we know the how to get our student up on their feet and actively engage. Help teachers of other disciplines, bring that excitement into their classes.

We are already experts in these areas, now we must step in and share our stories, tips, our bag of tricks to help students become creative problem solvers. "I Can't, I Have Rehearsal is no longer an acceptable excuse for not stepping out and changing the world of education.

It is a battle I fight myself everyday. There is always a show and there is always moments to be worked on, props to find, costumes to make, programs to be typed, etc. Take the time and make the commitment to present within your school, at a TeachMeet, an EdCamp, or Thespian Festival.

#28 Days of Writing- Let the Gauntlet Begin

2015-02-01T23:04:00.002-06:00

I am joining Tom Barrett's The Curious Creative Blog- #28 days of Writing initiative. I am glad I caught his post in my social media stream. It was just what I need to help commit to develop the writing habit.

As the Theatre and Film teacher, the rehearsal process is second nature to me. I know how to plan out what should occur when, when to add in the additional elements- lights, costumes, props, sound, etc. But when it comes to writing, I am not as self-assured. But I am taking up Tom's challenge, to begin the process of writing every day for the next 28 days. I excited to see where the writing will take me and I am thankful for Tom Barrett call to action. I was lucky enough to meet Tom when I was part of the the 2013 Google Teacher Academy Sydney Australia Cohort.

It's a Soundtrap! Multitrack Audio Editing on a Chromebook finally!

2014-11-11T12:35:00.001-06:00

For years the best free software for multitrack audio editing has been Audacity, which only works on PC or Mac computers, now there is a new player on the block which works on Chromebooks as well as on PC and Macs. Soundtrap.com is an online multitrack audio editor.

I used Soundtrap.com for my fall show in which we did a voice over music quoting lines from The Breakfast Club. It only took me about 5 minutes to get the project done. This would be a great for to use for students to create podcasts. At my school, students create This I Beleive project based on the NPR broadcast. This would be the perfect tool to use with it.

Uses for Soundtrap.com in Theatre Classroom

Record voiceovers for shows
Create a soundscape such the prairie sounds in Oklahoma
Create your own underscoring music for your shows
Create and/or modify sound effects for shows.

Use of Soundtrap.com in other classrooms

Thank you to Sylvia Duckworth for asking for multitrack editor for Chromebooks. It spurred to create this blog post.

Sweet Dreams Are Made of This- My first year as a Google Certified Teacher and Google Education Trainer.

2014-05-21T14:06:00.000-05:00

I feel that Google has broadened my world view in so many ways. Since I became a Google Certified Teacher, I now can say have colleagues all over the world. The experience of my Google Teacher Academy was life changing. Becoming a Google Certified Teacher and Google Education Trainer has helped me become an agent for change in the educational system. I am thankful for the opportunities and inspiring individuals have had chance to meet since becoming a Google Certified Teacher. I wanted to take a moment to thank all the educators who have inspired me.

I really have to have a debt of gratitude to MORE.NET- Missouri Research and Education Network. After I finished my masters degree in 2007, I started looking for places to take additional graduate credit, I have always been interested in Education Technology so I found their website and started signing up for one day trainings. They were one of the first places to offer training in Google for Education. I want to thank Bob Martin, John Riley, Andy King and Denise Tate-Kuler for all the great tips and tricks they have shared over the years. I think I have taken all the workshops they have to offer. They will need to create some new ones, so I can sign up to take them.

The knowledge I gained from MORE.net, inspired me to start offering after-school professional development in my school district during 2011. Jenni George, my school's library media specialist, and I started developing trainings focusing on ways to use Google for Education in the classroom. I really started developing a passion for developing professional development for teachers during 2011. It really laid the groundwork for 2012 in which I began to dive even deeper into Google for Education.

There were 3 events I attended in 2012, that spurred me to become a GCT and GET. The event that began the transformation was EdCamp St. Louis founded by Bob Dillon and Chris McGee. Attending this EdCamp, inspired a change in how I teach and ignited the desire to become an educational technology leader. As a result, I started an educational technology blog to help other Theatre and Film teachers because there is a need for content that has been curated specifically for Theatre teachers.

While at EdCamp St. Louis, I won free registration to the Ed Plus's METC conference in which able to attend great sessions lead by Google Certified Teachers such as Adam Bellow, Rushton Hurley, Ken Shelton, and Lucy Gray.

The Third event that sealed the deal, was the 1st Great Plains Google Summit organized by Nebraska's ECUs which featured Googlers Tia Lendo and Becky Evans, keynote speakers Jaime Casap and Jeff Utech, and presenters Jim Sill, Molly Schroeder, Benjamin Friesen and Jeff Unruh-Friesen, and Mitch Dowhower. Who knew 9 months later , when I was presenting at the EdTech Team's Illinois Summit featuring Google, it would be that would that EdTech Teams’s Molly Schroeder would be one of the GCTs who scored my video/application and Jim Sill would be my team’s Lead Learner at GTSYD. I was definitely hooked. I remember introducing myself to Jim because he was a film teacher. There are not too many of us at the high school level. I went to Molly’s workshop on ways of becoming Google Certified. When I got home, I was inspired to apply for the next Google Teacher Academy. I had about 5 days to write, edit and apply.

Of course, I Googled Jim Sill and the other GCTs when I got home. In the search results, I found the Edreach.us Network. I found two shows on this Educator focused network that fed my soul. It started watching Educast Nation during the summer of 2012 featuring GCTs James Sanders, Jim Sill, Adam Bellow, Diane Main,and others who were discussing real life situations and issues that all teachers face. I was not alone. It renewed my drive to keep pushing forward to advocate for and provide professional development for teachers.

I also stumbled upon a show that has had a profound affect on me. The Google Educast featuring GCTs Kevin Brookhouser, Diane Main, Sean Williams, Fred Delventhal, Kim Zimmer, and Juan DeLuca. It is “Must Watch TV” for me. I watch it every week to this day and only I have missed it on a few rare occasions. They are great group of educators who I feel are my mentors or Jedi Google Masters.

One of the GCTs from the Google Educast who has extraordinary impact on my life as an educator is Kevin Brookhouser. I first got inspired by Kevin Brookhouser during a Google Education webinar in Nov of 2011 Title Google Docs for English Teachers. He demonstrated how to use Google forms to grade student work. I was so excited and began incorporating the use of Google Forms more and more into my teaching. I e-mailed Kevin the next day and he was very helpful and share more resources with me.

I was thrilled that I had found him on the Google Educast almost a year later and was able to learn from him and other GCTs the show on a weekly basis. I remember the 1st shout out I got on the Google Educast as Kevin struggled through pronunciation of my last name and how Diane Main had got it right the first time.

Google Educast #66

It was also during this time I had really wanted to find out if there was a way to pull the information from the Google Spreadsheet that the Google Forms input their data into. Around this time, I discovered Andrew Stillman- Google Apps Scripts God and his script Autocrat. It was my mission to get this figured out and I did. I created a YouTube tutorial that explained the process of using Google Form to do the grading and then have the data populate in a Google Document which would be e-mailed to each student with their feedback formatted so that was easy read and understand.

Well that video impressed Kevin and he invited me to be on the Google Educast. I was honored and thrilled to be a guest on the show. I was able to guest and share the process on in early 2013. I am continually in awe of the passion and drive Kevin has for education and helping his students succeed. I feel lucky that I can call him a colleague and friend.

Shortly after my appearances on the Google Educast, I received an e-mail from Edreach.us co-founder Dan Rezac ask if I would interested in hosting a show about Theatre Education. I was extremely excited and a little bit nervous. I knew I just didn't want host the show alone, so I began my search for a co-host. Well I had to look no further than the Google Educast, It just so happened that during the Google Educast that has held during the week of GTA in Mountain View they had asked newly minted Danielle Filas to as guest on the show. Well Danielle was into EdTech and had a vast Theatre Background. It was Kismet. I e-mailed Danielle, which was basically a cold call, we had followed each other twitter and Google plus, but really didn't know each other. Danielle was game and we began TheatreCast podcast on the Edreach network in February of 2013. I have had so many fun, heartfelt, passionate discussions about Theatre and what it can do students with Danielle and our guests. I am a better teacher and Theatre artist for knowing her.

Well, third time was the charm for me for getting into the Google Teacher Academy, I realized that the video should reflect you and your passions. What are my passions Ed Tech and Theatre. I had been thinking about Hamlet’s “To Be or Not Be” speech “To Google or not to Google”, but then it hit me Hamlet’s advice to the players “Speak the Speech I pray you became “Search the Search I pray you…” Well it worked and there went my tax refund last year. I was headed to Google Teacher Academy Sydney 2013. Only 5 teachers from the United States were chosen, I was very honored to be chosen. It was like winning the lottery and 3 days later I found out I also became a Google Education Trainer.

The experience of my Google Teacher Academy was life changing. The energy in the room was palpable. If I could bottle the excitement that is in the room during a Google Teacher Academy, I believe it could power a small city for a month. I got to meet my friend and Lead Learner Chris Betcher from the Google Educast and visited his school later that week. I meet teachers from all over the world who were passionate about providing the best education possible for their students. . I also got to had great time exploring Sydney with my #GTASYD roommate, Narender, who was from India.

I spoke at a Google@School Event at the Google Sydney office, after which I was invited to be a featured speaker for the Kansas City Google Fiber Education Event in the July 2013. I am grateful to Becky Evans for recommending me to speak at the Google Fiber event and Devin Regis for all her help and hospitality. I also was able to spend time with GCTs Kyle Pace and Melinda Miller at the event.

Since the GTA, I have gotten to know many more GCTs and GETs on fellow GTASYD cohort member Lee Webster's Google Demo Slams including Allison Mollica, Donnie Piercey, Chris Betcher, Sarah Woods, Brian Gray, Michelle Armstrong, and many more. We have a great time sharing the Google-ly Goodness and also a whole lot of fun when we are off air.

I am thankful for the chance to interact with my Google Apps Scripting Gurus- Andrew Stillman, Jay Atwood, Dee Lanier and Bjorn bernhardt via Hangouts on Air . I met Jay at GTSYD and had a great time meeting Dee in person at Edtech's Illinois Summit featuring Google for Education this past March .

If you get a to attend a summit featuring Google for Education near you, don't pass it up. I am so indebted to EdTech Team's Jim Sill and Molly Schroeder for inspiring me to begin apply to be a Google Certified Teacher. I also excited to be working with the Missouri Google Certified Teachers as we be holding our St. Louis Summit featuring Google in Education on October 4th with Missouri GCTs including Greg Lawrence, Bill Bass, Stephanie Madlinger, Diane Dell, Patrick Dempsey, Cindy Lane, Alexandria Mooney, Dan Reeves and Eric Langhorst. Early bird registration will begin in a couple of weeks at http://gafemo.com.

I think this first year is just the beginning of an amazing adventure.

A Modern Day Antigone- Julia Butterly Hill

A Modern Day Antigone- Julia Butterfly Hill

This week I found a great and inspiring video on Kevin Brookhouser's YouTube Channel. Kevin's English III class had just finished studying Antigone. He had his students research civil disobedience. They need to research individuals who used civil disobedience to stand up for issues they believed in. Kevin invited Julia Buttery Hill to connect with his class using Google Hangouts on Air.

Thank you to Katie and Willow for asking insightful questions. I was not familiar with Julia Butterfly Hill works until watching Kevin's Hangout on Air with her.

I was moved so much by Julia's passion, heart and integrity she shared with Kevin's students. It reminded me so much of Jean Anouilh's Antigone, which I was an director's assistant of it when I was in high school. Julia made such a well stated case explaining why she lived in a tree for two years protecting the Redwood Forrest.

I think any actor that will be working on Antigone should watch this video to see the determination, heart, soul, fortitude that Julia Butterfly Hill brings to her activism. The deep determination and forthrightness that Julia posses are qualities that any actor tackling Antigone should bring to the role.

Thank you Kevin Brookhouser for sharing this on YouTube and thank you to Julia Butterfly Hill for sharing her story with all of us.

This project was inspired by a tweet in early March of 2013. Karla Olmos of the dramateachersnetwork.wordpress.com blog tweeted that it would be World Theatre day on March 27th . I came up with the idea of creating a video using Adam’s “All the World is a Stage” monologue from Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.” Using Google Drive, I had teacher upload their footage to a shared folder on Google Drive and created an “mashup video” with all the schools involved. We had two schools from the United States and two schools from Australia participate. The finished “mashed-up” video was placed on my YouTube channel. http://youtu.be/Pu2A71jNxI8. It was great to have students involved from halfway across the world.
