Toby Grosswald
Welcome to Year 5 of the Vanguard Teacher Program. I am one of the six Education Managers of the Education Team and focus on technology in the K-12 and Preschools. We will be meeting online through Go To Meeting videoconferencing on your iPad with other NLCI Vanguard teachers the first Thursday of every month. I am excited to continue our work integrating technology through NLCI's iPad initiatives and updated Technology Standards as we continue to teach the 21st century skills of communication, collaboration, critical thinking and collaboration by adding rigor through SAMR!

SAMR
SAMR is a model designed to help educators infuse technology into teaching and learning. Popularized by Dr. Ruben Puentedura, the model supports and enables teachers to design, develop, and infuse digital learning experiences that utilize technology. The goal is to transform learning experiences so they result in higher levels of achievement for students.

1. CAMERA ICON: Quick Wins in the Classroom
- Swipe Up: The fastest and most convenient way to access the camera on the iPad is directly from the lock screen. Touch the camera icon on the bottom right of the iPad screen and swipe up – this bypasses the need to enter a passcode even if the iPad is locked and gives access to the camera in less than one second.
- The Grid: While taking pictures, the grid can be used for centering as well as taking level shots of things like horizons and cityscapes. Students can also use the grid to support and explore the Rule of Thirds, and to get a better perspective on the angle and positioning of objects to photograph. To turn on the grid on the iPad, go to the Settings app, scroll down to Photos & Camera, and make sure the Grid slider is turned on.
- Burst Mode: The burst mode delivers a number of shots with one press. To get started, instead of giving the camera trigger one touch, push and hold. This action will deliver as many as 10 photos per second. The burst mode is a useful tool to employ whenever there is movement or unpredictability in the image you’d like to capture, like a flock of flying birds or waves crashing on the beach. The images are grouped together in a cluster in the photos app so you can select one to keep, keep them all or delete the entire burst with touch.
