August+29+PD+Planning

=Scavenger Hunt - August 29 PD=

**3 Elements of the Scavenger Hunt**:

 * PD, Learning Commons, Approach to learning, knowledge, and skills (Sherri, Lori)
 * 1) Lab rules, procedures, and responsibilities (Diane, Stephanie)
 * 2) Get moving around the school and visit different places (?)
 * Utilize "Tech TAs" throughout the hunt

**Logistics**:

 * 15 teams, 5 staff/team
 * Different sets of questions for each team so that they cannot copy from each other
 * Preferably 1 member of each team has a QR-code reader, but we can also post answers

**Group Brainstorm from May 24th Meeting: ( ﻿with updates from May 31) **
Outlook booking for a lab -


 * Have all videos on staff wiki
 * All links on the staff wiki and a way to get there from the HWW website.
 * Enable staff to modify the wiki and have them do so, that is visit a page on the wiki and leave a "Kilroy was here".
 * Have each contestant complete a booking - need a name, number of students, length of time in the lab, students sign in
 * Set up shortcuts to book labs on your laptop
 * Have a video to walk them through it that they can refer to later.
 * Video hook up play youtube video with sound

**2. Lab Responsibilities** (Chan's brainstorm)

 * Display on computers in each lab: Learning commons wiki, Staffroom wiki, Gale/Tremblay/Manias wikis and student websites, HWW website, LC website, Prezi, SMART Board w/ Notebook on it, SMART Ideas, etc.
 * Tech TAs stationed in each lab:
 * has teachers check all apsects of specific workstations and sign in on the sheet
 * gives ea team specific booking e.g. Book a lab/cart/conf room/etc. for Superman/The Flea/Bart Simpson/etc. for specific date and time
 * gives ea team sheet w/ 'dos' and 'don'ts' on it (same or similar to signs in the labs)
 * ea member of the team puts away a laptop properly
 * tells ea person in the team to pull up the bulletin/newsletter/agenda/calendar/timetable or some other specific info from the HWW website
 * (if they are not doing this in the Leanring Commons) they can plug in their USB to a computer and:
 * pull up a URL for a YouTube video to embed in a pre-made wiki that is already up on a computer in the lab
 * pull up a SMART Notebook file and create something in it
 * Teams must fill out their scavenger sheet w/ specific info just for their team so that they can't copy from another team:
 * name of person they signed the lab out to (Superman etc.)
 * what does ___ symbol mean (from the rules sheets they were given)
 * what learning application does the "Warriors computer" have on it in the lab that you visited and how can you use it in your teaching? (the T.A. points out one of the displayed options on one of the computers in the lab and explains how they would like to use it - ie. could be staffroom wiki, other teacher's wikis, prezi, SMART Notebook, HWW website, etc.)
 * what specific pieces of information did you pull up on the HWW website
 * how much does it cost to print b/w? on the printer? colour? How much $ does each teacher have/year? How much does ea student have before they have to re-fill? (they must ask their TA)
 * name of the Tech TA who helped you and 5 ways you can make use of them
