Super proud of my HS students who worked this year under Crafting Heroes - Official Social Media, with @PalmerTerrors and @SpaceFoundationto develop HoloQuest: Space, our first piece of XR software experiences to make space content accessible in new ways. youtu.be/BwbJQf54EoI #AR #XR #Metaverse

Hey Microsoft HoloLens team and Alex Kipman, it's been a while, but I just wanted to say thanks again for making new interactions with the world possible. My high school students started on the HL1. We've moved to the HL2, and the kids made this. What you do matters. youtu.be/BwbJQf54EoI

Not nearly as cool as my last post, but my students were asking me how we could build a Doctor Strange type portal using the Microsoft HoloLens 2. This is my 1st try to figure it out in a way that would be accessible for them. #Prototype #Metaverse #XR Crafting Heroes - Official Social Media youtu.be/Bxqd9PuA_VE

Pretty proud! Two of my @PalmerTerrors students are about to take the stage at the TEDxYouth@CherryCreek stage to showcase their work for the year! Got to stand on the TED red dot. Getting to check that off my list is cool, but getting to see my students on that dot? PRICELESS.

What’s better than being backstage during a TEDx Talk???? Watching your students on the stage advocating for more students to have access and opportunity to build the future…all on their own…without even knowing what they are going to say. 🤩🥳😎

Are you an educator using Unity in your classroom? There are a variety of educator communities to connect teachers doing cool stuff with kids in #gamedesign & development. If you are on Facebook, check out the Unity Teach Community facebook.com/groups/unityte… #unity #teach #gamedev

Pretty stoked to have had the opportunity to sit down with Doug Konopelko to chat about cool tech and empowering kids. We are creating real-time #metaverse experiences with kids and its always great to chat with people who want to build the future. #unity3d #RT3D #WeAreD11 Colorado Springs Schooll District 11

Super proud moment: When one of your students was selected for a TEDxYouth talk and their talk goes live on the TEDx YouTube channel! Sam and her team made a holographic space edu experience, & she talks here about why these opportunities matter. Colorado Springs Schooll District 11 youtu.be/IWItFXE8U6w

Loved your message at #UnityForHumanity, Rosario Dawson. My high school students presented during the event and are some of the creators you were talking about working to build the future you were describing. Any chance you would like to be part of our intergenerational campfire?

Looking for a great story about what goes on in schools these days? Check out Cougars Gone Wired robotics and their teacher, Mr. McLean, at Coronado High School who are inviting our @PalmerTerrors student XR devs to create VR & MR visualizations of their competition field this year. #WeAreD11

Just gotta say: Touching the future is pretty frickin' cool. Watching kids touch the future is even better. Total time for a kid to make this scan, clean it up, and for me to put it in #VR as a test? Less than an hour. #gamechanger skfb.ly/oCSs9 via @sketchfab

It's cool to see our @PalmerTerrors bridging past & future by using AI powered digital scanners to bring artifacts into the light. It's still early days, but students have already scanned pieces of our school history dating back to 1919.😮 #CTE Colorado Springs Schooll District 11 koaa.com/news/covering-…

Yes, that is a racing rig in my @PalmerTerrors classroom. Why, you ask? Because if we are going to make racing games with Unity, we might as well go all the way and put kids in the driver's seat. Lots to learn, but down for the #Straightaway, #Hairpins, and #Ride. District 11 CTE

Thanks to the CS Rotary and their Flight Grant that supports S.T.E.A.M. education, something big is #ComingSoon to @PalmerTerrors: STEAM Factory - Palmer High School will be opening its doors soon! #SchoolStore #entrepreneurship #lasers #materialproperties #dyesublimation Colorado Springs Schooll District 11 #LetsGo

Super cool when hard work behind the scenes is recognized by admin. Love that admin has started celebrating staff by giving punchcards that support our new student-run coffee shop. What makes it even better is that my work based learning students designed the logo & punchcards!

These kids did FANTASTIC at the competition! Way to go Cougars Coronado High School!

With the changes to Twitter, how staff members were treated after the recent acquisition, and the tone of comms from the company, I am taking a hiatus from the platform. Account will be left up for archiving, and I hope things improve enough to come back someday. Thanks, all. ♥️
