CRT Seminar: Learning Lab Present: Dan, Chai, RBS (part-time), Trish, Lara, Doug.

Doug, RBS went to conference: MPI presented use of ActivInspire. 1. Hands-on work using ActivInspire-Studio:
 * Once connected, students can keep ActivEngage screen open and simultaneously do work.
 * Can question students (multiple choice, text entry, rank order, quick poll), graph student responses, and see who answered what.
 * Can use to survey students re: whether they understand, need review, can move on: can quickly gauge understanding and diagnose issue

2. Uploading screenshots via ScreenSteps: useful for instructions; can save as a .pdf file 3. Punahou WikiBlogs server: http://wiki.punahou.edu/groups 4. DK and CR working w/ Dana Len re: use of ELGG. 5. DK went to Schools of the Future: teacher from Kailua school showed student portfolios made using Weebly. 6. Moodle use 7. DK: Miscellaneous
 * Can make private to @.punahou.edu users or open to world.
 * All students can upload to server. Have them export video via iTunes for iPod. Video will auto-stream. Kids can comment on videos.
 * Life span of program: ?
 * Use for weekly Geometry quizzes, L. Kunishige uses for Alg. I/II.
 * Departments seem to have extensive use.
 * Moodle Showcase on GoogleDocs: feature pages that look different: maybe 4-6 examples for DK to show to DH group. DG will curate.
 * Digital video cameras: now $120: share w/ dept, and see whether there's interest.
 * Promethean Board: maybe not worth investment, vs. use of mobile devices.
