Meta-Judge Awards

The meta-judge for this project is Aaron Maurer.

Aaron Maurer is the big, tall, bald, ugly, nerdy guy roaming the hallways and classroom of Bettendorf Middle School in Bettendorf, Iowa. Aaron has been teaching in this building for nine years. His first five years he taught 6th grade social studies, literature, and computer before moving to ELP(Extended Learning Program a.k.a. Gifted Education). For the last four years he has taught 4th and 5th grade ELP as well as extension classes for grades 5-8.

Aaron is looking to officially part of the Flat Classroom Community and has been working hard on creating global projects after experimenting the last few years with smaller projects. You can see the projects in action by visiting - http://about.me/coffeechug. The latest project is a Global Project focusing on Bald Eagles.

When not working at school, Aaron is the lucky father of three children – Aiden(8), Addyson(6), and Ava (2 years old today - May 9th, 2013). His wife is very patient dealing with his nerdiness. Aaron also operates a blog www.coffeeforthebrain.blogspot.com where he provides his insights into education, teaching, training, Lego, and more. In the other free moments he is working on his own book titled after his mantra, Getting It Done! Lastly, he coaches boys basketball and helps operate and coach the Lego Robotic Team.

How does meta judging work?

Divisional award winners use the rubric for judging.

All first and second place award winners are viewed by the meta judge who then determines the best overall without using the rubric.

Those who are first and second in each section are often very close and it is understood that they meet the criteria to be at the top of the project.

Honorable Mention

Judges comment: I am grouping these two together because I think they feel the same. Very informative. The slides were very smooth and flowed seamlessly. The example provided in the videos were quality examples to show your individual topics. I am big on grabbing interest of viewer so something to spark some interest at the beginning would have been great to see. Something clever to hook us right away. I think these two were very informative and speaking was of high quality. Now you just need to sell it!

Honorable Mention

3.B.1 MarkS_SVHS_NGE FOCUS on the Camera of a Tablet Computerand

8.E.1 AlejandroE_ISA 3D-Printing: Expand the Realm of Possibility

And……..

3.B.2 RiyaP-WHSB Take a Tablet

I also chose Take a Tablet because I liked the flow of this video. It felt like a commercial and really just like something I would see on TV or in a store. A few times the quiet pauses slowed down the piece in transition. Very well done and your sources were the best displayed of them all.

Third Place

Judges comment:  I enjoyed this video. You used a variety of sources and types of media. Google Glass has been given lots of media hype already and will be interesting to see how the public actually responds. I think trimming the piece down of using Google Glass for sporting event and the timing piece of speaking at the end were two things that I think could have been improved. You brought up some really great points in this video. Very well done. 

Third Place

6.F.1 CandiceZ_SVHS

Entertainment & Wearable Technology

Second Place

Judges comment: I thought this video had a great opener. It really grabbed my attention from the start. Very well crafted and put together. You raised a lot of great points and the rhetorical question at the end was a great way to wrap things up. The one thing missing in this video was a list of resources for your information. I know you spoke from experience, but finding information to support your ideas is important. A lack of citations at the end is the only flaw in this video. Great job of piecing things together, speaking from personal experience to connect with a larger audience. I really think this was the most entertaining of engaging of all the videos.

Second Place

1.D.1 MerrittD-WHSA

"Moooo"vement of Learning Analytics and Freedom

FIRST PLACE

Judges Comment: You told a story. It was obvious that you planned this whole idea out from start to finish. With the touches of humor you were able to blend in the facts and information needed to convey your research. I thought the first transition could have been improved and possibly in terms of story development why were you on a safari? I loved the theme and idea of being in pursuit of a MOOC. Well done! This reminded me of something I would have made if I was a student doing this project.

FIRST PLACE
