            • Shared Drives


              • Manage your email and don’t let it manage you and encourage teachers to do the same.
              • In working with teachers, encourage consistency when working with technology. Don’t let them get caught up in trying every new tech tool.  Find something that works for them and get good at it.
                • Learning Management Systems / Online Classroom - keep it categorized where students and their parents assisting them can easily find them. Use categories/topics in Google Classroom, Modules in Canvas, etc.

                • Remember you can’t be everywhere at one time and that’s ok, nor can you be all things as a tech coach to all teachers.  As a tech coach, you still are not expected to know everything about every piece of technology or tool out there.  Let the teachers know that you need a bit to research to be able to help them more efficiently.

                                  In this episode of Ask the Tech Coach, Jeff discusses Augmented Reality with Parker McDonough from Seek Education.

                                  In This Episode ...
                                  • Topic 1 - Augmented reality for distance learning
                                    • With many schools not returning in-person this fall, teachers and parents are looking for innovative ways to educate kids.
                                      • A New York Times study launched this week revealed just 1 in 7 parents said their children will not be returning to school full time this fall. 

                                      • One of the most powerful assets a student can have is a quality digital tool set and AR can play a significant role here. AR-based learning is changing the way students receive and retain information. By pairing AR models with the teaching curriculum, it can provide further detail and understanding for students. Many children are visual learners and a 3D model of the Solar System or a human DNA strand is far more interactive and engaging than a picture in a textbook or a slideshow on a screen. In fact, research shows the benefits of immersive technology, such as improved long-term memory retention. 
                                        • Studies have shown a 14% increase in motivation and 31% increase in attention in students when AR is used in learning.


                                        • Topic 2 - Seek Education
                                          • Seek Education is a supplemental teaching resource designed to encourage interactive learning through AR. Subscribing to the platform provides access to 1,000+ models across six core subjects in today’s curriculum,including anatomy, art, biology, history and physical science. Teachers can easily add QR codes into teaching materials.
                                          • Seek’s Seek Education platform is currently being utilized by 300 schools across the US as well as schools in a dozen other countries.
                                          • What’s interesting is that this technology is already being used by major brands like Overstock and Nestle to bring their products to life for consumers, and is now being applied in an educational setting.
                                          • While Augmented Reality is a key trend being adopted during the pandemic across several industries, it has been making an impact long before. Beyond the crisis, there have been major barriers to entry for teachers integrating immersive technologies into the classroom. Seek Education launched to enable AR content to be accessible by anyone on any device, no app required - making it a simple, cheap and effective educational tool. Prior to Seek, the vast majority of immersive learning tools required expensive hardware that quickly runs out of style, necessitating more costly upgrading. Seek Education is affordable enough for anybody in the world to access given it’s no commitment low monthly fees.


                                            • Topic 3 - Virtual Field Trips
                                              • This week Seek Education launched a new Virtual Field Trips feature: pre-made templates which save parents/teachers time while allowing for seamless integration into any curriculum.
                                              • Field trips can also take on an entirely new meaning as kids from around the world can now visit the Egyptian pyramids, the Lincoln Memorial, or walk through a field of the Terracotta Warriors. With AR, all you have to do is pull out your phone. On the other end of the spectrum, why not have a Magic School Bus experience and “go inside” an atom, a beehive, or a virus, and walk around inside to learn in ways never before possible.
                                              • It’s an effective and cheap solution for helping students retain more information and to stay engaged during the learning process. These experiences promote an experiential environment for learning, allowing students to immediately experience what they are learning about in the classroom, through AR. A teacher can take their students all over the world without ever having to leave the classroom.
                                                • Check out an example of a trip to explore the pyramids, temples, and art of ancient Egypt here.

                                                                          Zak Ringelstein is an elementary school teacher who exited his first edtech company, UClass, to Renaissance Learning in 2015 and founded his second, Zigazoo, this past March at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. TechCrunch has called Zigazoo the “TikTok” for education because it gives children the opportunity to share short videos in response to project-based learning prompts. Ringelstein graduated from Columbia University in 2008, was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2015, was the first millennial to be a major party nominee for U.S. Senate in 2018, and is currently doing doctoral work at Columbia University’s Teachers College. He and his wife, Leah, have two boys and another due any day.

Teachers assign Zigazoo projects or build their own, then students respond with short videos of their work and engage on an endless social media-style feed of endless learning fun.
