Think about our big wolf statue in front of the library with the words "Expect Respect" beneath it. If you used the <b><span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://www.aurasma.com/#/whats-your-aura">Aurasma</a></span></b> application to connect a picture of that wolf to a video kids made about how to be respectful you could click the Aurasam App on your iPad and watch that video. All are welcome to attend an April 28th Lunch and Learn as Jeanne and Jess explain how to use Aurasma to create Auras that will supercharge your instruction</span>.<br />

Looking for a way to make QR codes easily? Quick Mark is amazing. This app allows you to make a QR Code and import it. <a href="http://www.quickmark.com.tw/">Quick Mark QR Code Generator</a> Look up at the top menu and click on Create a QR Code. Jeanne, Kim and Jessica will be giving a Lunch and Learn update on tech tools highlighted at the Illinois Computing Educators Conference 2012.

Take a look at the above link and the link below so that you can go back and review should you want to use the programs. The best way to make <a href="http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audacity_for_Teachers_-_Installation_and_Basic_Editing">Audacity</a> a part of your class is to have the kids use it. When you are in the lab or classroom, explain a little and let the kids explore with the program by giving them a small project to start out with.<br />

Hope your Lunch and Learn menu is in a prominent place in your classroom or office. Remember if you cannot make a session be sure to return here to the blog to find out a bit of what you might have missed. We are all so busy these days. The most popular sessions will be revisited on video links by the end of the school year. Look out for a chance to vote for your favorite Lunch and Learn and offer ideas for future sessions!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7399833308375318427.post-66273654944037538602012-01-25T04:21:00.000-08:002012-01-25T04:58:55.489-08:00Curious About ICURIO?<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2ZBbgrNq7IE/Tx_xQ2ARWoI/AAAAAAAAAUs/ZJjaWn3Ra3s/s1600/icurioimage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2ZBbgrNq7IE/Tx_xQ2ARWoI/AAAAAAAAAUs/ZJjaWn3Ra3s/s1600/icurioimage.jpg" /></a><span style="color: lime; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://learn.nettrekker.com/us/solutions/icurio/online-learning">ICURIO</a>! </span>Welcome to ICURIO!<span class="s1"> </span></div><div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">Essential concepts learned.

One benefit of looking back and finding the very best sites and technology is that it has been tried before. We know what works and what doesn't. Access to the technology reviewed is always a part of the tech puzzle. Can't use what you don't have. So let's take a look at what we do have access to and how it can help our kids learn.</span></span><br />
