Tour Creator Drawings

Image
I have admittedly been sitting on this for a while now and have just had the opportunity to post about it. How can we take advantage of Google's Tour Creator in education even when we don't have a 360 camera? Make Tour Creator Drawings with your class!


If you don't know Tour Creator yet it's a web browser app online from google which allows users to create 360 immersive tours. Traditionally we think of these tours using photos. Here's my tour I made of Auschwitz. But we can also create the tour using drawings. Here's my sample drawing tour (turn the sound on for this).

Well how did I do that and how can you do it? Easy. Below is my brief intro video.

Here's my slide deck on how to make them.  Here's a Google Drawing Template you can use. And below is my more detailed how to video demo. 


Looking forward to seeing your Tour Creator Drawings!

Hosting your School site using new Google Sites

It was brought to my attention by a friend that I have been redirecting my naked domain of claycodes.org to the new Google Sites essentially hosting a site for free. The question is how the heck did I do that? Well here's the show from Google and here's the how from me below.

1. Create a New Google Site to redirect to.
2. Publish the site to a folder on your site directory. Be sure to Manage your setting so "Anyone can find and view".










3. Open your Admin console and go to Apps>GSuite>Sites (Sites is on the second page of apps by default). 4. Scroll to the bottom and expand Web Address Mapping by clicking on it.  5. Click Add A New Web Address







6. I recommend keeping the NewSites setting,  7. At Site location enter the Site Folder Name from when you published. Be sure your site is on the domain selected.

















8. Use www as your subdomain.  9. Set up a CNAME of www in your DNS settings. I recommend using Google domains. It makes things easier. Here's how my records …

Professional Learning Networks

Image
Recently I had the opportunity to educate teachers on the Common Sense Education curriculum at the NYC STEM Institute. While facilitating some really great conversation I was struck by the excitement of the group. Tech always excites me. Especially when it gets used for positive unintended purposes. When I see an educator excited I know it will bring more to their communities. It also indicates they may have been missing out on belonging the right professional learning networks.
I sometimes assume everyone knows and has see the basic educational technology available; GSuite, Office 365, Apple iWork. And I’m often wrong. Just seeing these things doesn’t mean an educator is taking advantage of them or knows how they work. It also doesn't mean they know how to infuse them in their practice. Giving EdTech to educators doesn’t change practice without proper training. This is where a good PLN, Professional Learning Network can help.
PLNs take all forms, in-person meetups, conference vi…
