Challenges

Challenge #0: Join the Challenge

Congratulations! You have already done the first challenge...You Accepted the Challenge!

You have been assigned your very own Tech Challenge Badge Chart through Google Classroom. Normally I would pass out sticker badges for staff to put on their charts that they hang in full view for all to see (you have to love earning those bragging rights). I will email you any earned digital badge at the end of the week it was assigned (they will also be available in the "Helpful Resources" topic in Classroom if you complete them after the deadline). You can "stick" (upload them to the Drawing) your earned badges on your chart when you earn them.

Get ready to get your Tech-On!

Challenge #1: Replace Image Background

So, you have that perfect picture but you really want to have a different background. For example, your students are studying landforms and you want to put a picture of them on the top of a mountain. If only you could take the object of the picture (your students) and put it on a different background. The good news, you CAN! There is an awesome (and free) website that can strip the background of any image away and make it transparent so you can overlay it on a new background. The curricular possibilities are endless! Give www.remove.bg a try!

Your Challenge: Share a creative image of yourself in a new location

1. Remove the background from a picture of yourself using https://www.remove.bg/ (no need to create an account).

2. Create a Google Drawing and upload an awesome background.

3. Put your transparent background image of you in this new location.

4. Click "File", then "Download" and choose "PNG".

All these steps are shown in the Document and Video Below.

Turn in your Image: (How-to Upload: hbit.ly/ClassroomTurnInFile)

2. Browse or drag the file into the screen and click "Upload".

3. After uploading the image click the "Turn In" button to send it to me.

Challenge #3: Whiteboard Tools

There are many whiteboard apps and tools out there. Many need subscriptions to do much. Below are 2 FREE whiteboards I recommend exploring. Choose one (or even both) to explore for this challenge.

Whiteboard.chat:

• This is the more complete tool. It has many tools and add-ons, and is 100% free for teachers! It has the options for multiple pages, connections for up to 100 people, collaboration, save to PDF feature, video calling, teacher view (see all student work in live time), uploading backgrounds and PDF, and so much more! Oh, did I mention that it is 100% FREE! Whiteboard.chat is a Free, full-featured, and powerful whiteboard tool. There is more to it than most will ever need, but enough to make it your “go-to” whiteboard tool. It even has an option to limit what is available to students (this helps with our young learners).

Whiteboard.fi:

• This is a basic tool that allows a teacher to see all the students’ work in live-action on one screen while everyone in the class is working. The other benefits are that this is free and that no teacher or student accounts are needed!

Your Challenge: Create a Whiteboard: The Documents attached below will show you how to do this.

1. Use either of these tools to explore:

• More Options: whiteboard.chat

• More Basic: whiteboard.fi

2. Create a whiteboard.

3. You can have a student (or all of them) get in to see how it works. For those without a classroom just play around with some of the tools (draw, add image, other things).

4. Save your experience as a PDF.

   1. • Whiteboard.chat Save to PDF: bit.ly/WhiteboardCHATSave

      • Whiteboard.fi Save to PDF: bit.ly/SaveWhiteboardFI

Turn in your PDF: (How to Upload: bit.ly/ClassroomTurnInFile)

1. Upload your PDF to Classroom using the "Add" button below and then clicking "File".

2. Browse or drag the file into the screen and click "Upload".

3. After uploading the image click the "Turn In" button to send it to me.

Challenge #4: Edit PDFs with Kami

PDFs are great when you want a copy of something that can not be edited or changed, but there are times when you want them to be filled in (like a "worksheet"). Kami is a site/extension that allows you to do just that! You can visit Kami online and edit a PDF, or install the extension and edit with the click of a button. Even better, you can assign a PDF through Google Classroom and students can fill in PDF activities.

Your Challenge: Fill in a PDF with Kami

1. 1. Install the Kami Extension: bit.ly/KamiExtension.

   2. Open the attached PDF in this assignment below ("Your Name" Challenge #4 Kami).

Challenge #7: EDpuzzle

This one will take a little longer than the other challenges and might require some exploring! You are going to use EDpuzzle to create an interactive video. EDpuzzle lets you embed questions or prompts into YouTube videos. You can link your students' accounts using Google Classroom and then you can see statistics on how many times students watched a video and even have EDpuzzle self-score embedded questions. This is a cool tool. Your job is to find any YouTube video (for your class or just for fun) and add some questions in it. Then share the EDpuzzle link with me through Google Classroom. You get 20 videos for FREE, but can earn more videos when you refer a friend. Share your referral link and get more videos in YOUR account!

Make sure to check out the How-To (EDpuzzle: Interactive Videos) I made below for help. As always with tech tools, EdPuzzle just updated their interface the week before this came out after my "How-To" was written. It is all the same, but a little more colorful. Just a heads-up if it looks a little different.

Here is an example: edpuzzle.com/media/5e53f8e03c4b5040c0d13777

Challenge #8: Fancy Text

I love fonts, and I know I am not the only one! Sometimes I like REALLY FANCY fonts. Back in the old days we could use "Word Art" to do things like that.

Challenge #9: Grouping Chrome Tabs

I am a Chrome Tab Master. I always have a ton of tabs open and organize them (put related tabs near each other) every day. There are extensions to help with this (my favorite is Session Buddy), but there is also a great way to do just this right in Google Chrome. You can create Chrome Tab Groups and color code them for easy identification!\

Your Challenge: Create a Chrome Tab Group

1. Open a bunch of Chrome Tabs.

2. Follow the steps in this video to create a couple of Chrome Tab Groups: bit.ly/GroupChromeTabs

3. Share a screenshot of your Chrome Tab Groups with me.

Challenge #10: WeVideo

Welcome to the LAST CHALLENGE! This one is a little more time-consuming. For all those that like to wait until the last minute, don't wait until Sunday evening to start this challenge! This one will take a little more time to do than the others to complete. You are, after all, Tech Gurus by now!

Videos are one of the best ways to show others content or give directions (𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘸𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴). With everyone having Chromebooks (or using the Chrome browser), video editing gets tough to do. There is one program that works: WeVideo. The free version can get you by and do all you need (unfortunately it is a little limited and videos contain a watermark), but it is worth using for easy online video editing. The paid version is awesome, but it is pricy and not needed in most classrooms.

Your Challenge: Create a Video and Edit with WeVideo

1. Create a F̲R̲E̲E̲ WeVideo account (www.wevideo.com).

• 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘋𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵.

2. Create a simple video. It can be of anything. This is not Oscar-worthy, just exploring the tool.

• Use an old screencast

• Use a video from your Drive that you have for students

• If you do not have a video already you can click "Record" in WeVideo and create a webcam recording or screencast.

3. Get the link to this video (either from your Drive or WeVideo) to share with me.

𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 (𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘓𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵)

Deadlines...ugh! I, too, hate deadlines. I know many of you are like me and would wait until the last week to do all the challenges. Unfortunately, this would cause me to then be shuffling stickers, attaching individual treats, driving to buildings to deliver, and basically make a mess of the "𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯" system that needs to be balanced with multiple buildings and this many players. That would take the fun from me (so sad). I also don't want anyone to give up if they miss a Challenge deadline. This should be fun and hopefully inspire some new learning.

So...I am posting one "Bonus Challenge". This will make any one "Late Assignments" worth the full point! Think of it as an "Oops" assignment. Life happens (trust me, I understand), and I don't want anyone getting frustrated when that happens. If you have a late assignment, just do this task and the late assignment will be marked for "Full Credit"!

Screencasting is recording your computer screen to show how to do things. It is a great way to share feedback, share a screen-based project, or just demo something. An easy (and free) way to do this is with Loom. Install the Chrome Extension (linked below) and set up your FREE account (students can use this as well to share their work, ideas, projects, etc). Make sure to sign in with your School Account to get full free access. Use it to record your screen (this can be anything, no worries) and share the video with me! There is a video below that shows these steps as well as a link to Screencastify directions. This is way easier than it sounds...Trust me...You can do it!

Watch this video for all the steps: http://bit.ly/UsingLoomDemo
