We all had a great time in our first Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. I taught this course with co-instructor Donald Day at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 16, 2016.
A diverse group of ten students joined the class, including artists, technologists and people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents. My partner Geo Monley and our friend Howard Rheingold also helped mentor the students during the hands-on sessions.
We started the class at 6pm, with an introduction to the popular Arduino processor, which is used by millions of hobbyists and makers around the world. We then showed people how to make lights blink and play sounds with their Arduinos, alternating between short presentations and hands-on experimentation.
Students seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. We’re really happy that this first class went so well and look forward to our next two classes.

Today’s Daily Shoot assignment is:
Paper is versatile and malleable. From napkins to origami, it's all around. Make a photo of something made of paper.
Cardboard boxes are stacked up high in the computer lab of the new media center. Fortunately, they are easily recycled...unlike the styrofoam packing inside of them. Lorenzo Walker campus, Naples, FL
Some of the websites the students need to access will only work on Windows. (isn't this the antithesis of The Web?).
...Sigh...
So I'm enabling three if the iMacs to boot Windows XP.
As you may recall, I've done this before. But our newly-remodeled labs reduced the number of machines. One of the casualties was the iMac that had Windows.
This still doesn't feel right.

Photobooth! You couldn't ask for a better program to get kids excited about using the computer. The pictures were hilarious.
April 22, 2009 (Wednesday) - Writing a paper test in the computer lab?
Since the fall of 2003, the daily focus of my eJournal and images blog has been on text. Later in July 2005, because of Flickr, I've been able create something which emphasizes a daily image or video clip. I'll shoot and add one each day. Doing so will remind me to constantly carry a camera and it'll be a more direct record of current, personal experiences.
3 classes today. All pointless.
This picture was actually taken DURING class to keep myself from going out of my mind with boredom.

"24 Years"
I've been teaching at Staffordshire University for 24 years now, and marked the day with.... two teaching sessions!

Just before 10 this morning, we got text alerts that there was an active shooter on campus: Run Hide Fight. Shelter in Place. We had a staff meeting, so we opted for Shelter -- and then the fire alarm went off. Fearing a hoax, knowing we were in an interior computer lab/meeting room with a locked door, we stayed where we were. (Apparently, emergency personnel had gone through the other floors of our building, yelling for people to leave -- but we heard none of that in our room.)
We streamed the news feeds on the computers, without sound; we turned the lights off and moved to the back of the room when we saw on the news that the armored vehicles, fully-uniformed SWAT guys, and bomb-sniffing dogs were gathered just on the corner, just outside our building. We texted everyone and got more complete news reports back, and we waited, and waited. Around noon, we heard that the FBI still had to sweep the parking garage -- into which possible suspects had apparently been seen running -- and the building itself. So we waited some more, texting the Outside World to confirm that the police knew we were still in the building, and then, a little before 1:00, we heard the battering ram, shaking the walls behind us. It turns out that "clearing the building" involves breaking in doors that don't immediately open, moving from room to room, issuing commands and reports to the rest of your team via walkie-talkie.
So we heard all of that from the hallway outside our door, and called out: "We're in here!" And when we heard in reply, "Come out with your hands up!", we did, and were greeted in the hallway by 15 - 20 SWAT guys, in full gear, helmets and guns -- a lot of large guns -- pointed at us, waving us forward, ushering us out of the building and over to a command center vehicle to be debriefed. An hour or so later, we were allowed back into the building to get our things, get our cars, and go home.
