Over the 2 weeks I have been working on: Teacher websites, weekly challenges and also technology setup and fixing in the, class room.
I have been working with a teacher names, Mrs. Branch on making a website. I have visited her before she has classes to teach, taking notes on what she wants for her website and what she doesn't want. The notes I have taken have been useful to the making of the website, I do need to go back and see, Mrs. Branch about more information to help me get a feel of what she wants at the end of the website building process.
The weekly challenges I have been doing are with, Skyler. Throughout the weeks we have been working on, Fixing and adding to the classrooms technology.
Firstly myself and Skyler worked on connecting the Ipads to Apple TV and the projectors using, Airplay which is built into the stock versions of updated Ipads. Airplay is a very good feature of the modern Apple products, Airplay allows the user to connect their apple device to their Apple TV which then makes the Ipads screen show on your TV.
Next we worked on fixing some problems with the projector (EPSON power lite 95). The problems were:
1. Colours were not correct and were showing as different colours completely.
2. The projector was cutting off the picture at the: Top, Bottom and both sides of the projected image.
These problems were not easy to fix because there were no online instructions or manuals to help us fix the problems above. Because of the problem of no online instructions lead us in the direction of not being able to fix the problems.
After a while of searching through online forums and the menus on the projector its self, we finally corrected the colours which were not being shown correctly. Unfortunately we were not able to fix the cut off points of the projected image and we are still working on correcting this issue.
Over all, over these 2 weeks. Myself and Skyler worked well together and we were able to complete 2/3 problems with the technology in the classroom at the time, in what time we had.
