Creating & Using Cell Phone Applications

In the Spring of 2012 my Desktop Publishing students created cell phone applications using www.mobile.conduit.com which is free.  This summer I have had time to develop and learn more about the program and load the two samples below; one is for my FBLA chapter-I have found that my parents check our chapter website but students use their cell phones more and then app will be a great tool for them to get information and the second qr code is to download my application for my classes with some basic information.  If you want to know more I have also attached a .pdf file to check out or drop me an e-mail at kkuhlers@alburnett.k12.ia.us

If you have ideas or other information you feel should be included on either of these apps please let me know, thanks. 

Summer Enrichment 2012

WOW! How time flies when students are engaged and learning.  This year we invited the top 10 students, based on an average of math & science test scores from Iowa Tests & MAP, from each of the grades 6, 7 & 8.  We had 17 students participate.  Students spent time blabberizing at www.blabberize.com, learning Arduino circuit board technology, making a movie in Office 2010 MovieMaker Live, and creating video games with Gamemaker 8.1.

Our camp ran from Wednesday, August 1 to Wednesday, August 8 from 8:30a.m. to noon.  The last day students showcased their projects to their parents and relatives, check out the pictures in the slideshow below, some of the video games students created will be posted.


Games will be published shortly
