Here are photos of our fourth maker art class for lower school children at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Students are now making a Chinese New Year Wonderbox, creating a small diorama with an animal from the Chinese Zodiac in a decorated cardboard box -- combining art and technology to bring their work to life.
In this class, children started working on their animal characters, using wood figures we made earlier with a laser cutter. They explored different ways to make their animals move, using hobby motors connected to a AA batteries with alligator clips.
Students loved this activity, and all succeeded in making their motors work and animate their art, as this video shows. This hands-on, project-based activity seems effective for teaching how electricity and motors work, in a playful way that makes science more fun. The children are responding well to this approach: they learn by doing and seem engaged by the freedom to create their own interactive art.
Next week, they will add LEDs for the eyes, decorate their animals and install them in their boxes. You can follow our progress in our Maker Art photo album, where we post weekly updates: www.flickr.com/photos/fabola/albums/72157663074065150
Many thanks to my associate Cynthia Gilbert, who provides invaluable help in the classroom on a volunteer basis — as well as school parent Jules Maeght, Josephine’s dad, who kindly offered to give us a hand today. We’re very lucky to have so many generous collaborators on this project. Merci!

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to look at my photos and adds a comment or fave.
More experiments, was reading about Magic cloth technology. Decided to test, this method consists in closing part of the lens with a cloth or something dark for some time. So at the end of the exposure time the dark cloth is taken away from the lens and the exposure is completed.
The following equipment and settings was used for this shot.
Nikon D7000 + Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-105mm 3,5-5,6G ED
ISO 100
Aperture f6,3
Shutter speed: 240 sek

My kindle, only owned by me for less than a month, is now being "borrowed" by my daughter, in the same way that she "borrows" the computer. She also uses my mobile phone on a regular basis to play games, she's more than competent on the Wii and and using the V+ box to record endless repeats of whatever the current favourite programme is.
She is definately a child of the 21st century and I wonder how out of date my kindle will seem in 20 years time when she is an adult. Will she look at it in much the same way we now remember a spectrum ZX81?
As an instructional technology specialist, I spend a lot of time in training meetings. Kat, Wes, and I need to know what student support systems are available to teachers and how to use them. All of this is happening while we're staying on top of incoming support requests.
It's a little crazy, really, because it turns into a mobile command center. We grab a table and open the laptop to the training materials while our iPads and/or phones quietly hum in the background.
The hardest part of all of these meetings is not becoming cynical listening to the low-fruit goals set by the tool. Our role is more to interpret the long-term goals of using our technology intentionally for creative work with these outside systems playing an ancillary role.
WhatsApp, email, sms, social media networks... they all destroy relationships and love! It's time to stop, and go back to the roots - by having personal contact again...

Ock's costume was terrific from every angle and always drew a crowd.
This is why when I spotted him walking towards my "photo studio" I turned away and didn't stop him for another photo...
...
Damn, but somebody else did. And within thirty seconds, "my" studio was packed with people. Oh, well...I had been thinking about taking a break anyway.

Week 11's theme is Technology and this is a shot of an 8gb memory stick for my old Macbook Pro which was brand new in 2012 and did me proud for nearly a full decade. I did upgrade the ram to 16gb, popped in a 500gb ssd to extend it's life and it finally died when the battery became swollen and cracked the trackpad! So, salvaging the ram and the photo is on the new macbook air :-) Seems fitting.
This is the crashed super small hard disk drive of my VAIO TZ laptop. (I added the AA size battery just for scale purposes)
"Your data is unrecoverable" Two different professional technicians said!
I always advise my friends to frequently backup their data, and I did it myself too.
Fortunately I do backup twice a month, and I didn't loose lots of information. But I lost all my photos from Gavkhuni swamp and Isfahan trip, in addition to Fatemeh's photos and Somayeh's photos.
Sorry Somayeh and Fatemeh...

Norfolk & Western Railway, A class 2-6-6-4 Steam Locomotive
Norfolk & Western's "Mercedes of Steam", these articulateds featured the latest steam locomotive technology when introduced in the late 1930s. A total of 43 A class locomotives were built in the N&W's own shops at Roanoke, Virginia. Capable of 125,897 pounds of tractive effort, and able to pull passenger trains at 70 mph, the A class is one of the all time great steam locomotives. A class no. 1218 is preserved at the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke Virginia.
My LEGO model of 1218 features working Baker valve gear, and is powered by two Power Functions XL motors in the tender driving through the tender trucks.
Teachers, parents and members of the community visit the library of the Simonsen Ninth Grade Center for the Constitutional Rights Museum on Friday, Nov. 14, 2014, in Columbia, Mo. Students in the business management and technology academy led the presentations. The academy clusters, offered for the first time this year, allow Simonsen students to shape their education experience by selecting a designated interest area. "Their enthusiasm has gone up now that they're grouped with students in similar interest areas," Amanda Aspey said, one of the two organizers of the Constitutional Rights Museum.
