This gigapan by Clare M. shows Caroline with three legs! We were shooting street scenes in East Liberty and the East Liberty Presbyterian Church; we are slowly but surely gathering images of places of worship along with other various landscapes and urbanscapes.
Karen KaighinTeachers from Huntington High School, Ceredo Elementary, South Point High School and the MU Early Education STEM Center took part in a 2-day training on arts and bots on February 17th and 18th on Marshall's campus. The 8 teachers agreed to pilot the project and integrate it into existing classroom curriculum and will be using it in a variety of subjects including engineering, physics, chemistry, science and math. Jenn Cross from CMU's CREATE Lab was on hand to help train the teachers on equipment use while the Harless CREATE Satellite team assisted with curriculum. The project will expand to include additional schools and teachers in the fall and a summer training is planned. We look forward to seeing what the teachers and students come up with!
My class and I tried out Gigapan and it was a great experience. Working with the camera was fascinating and I personally enjoyed exploring how a Gigapan imager works. I amproud of my students’ work in taking the picture, which came out very well. It is nice to see how enthusiastic the students are about interacting with others through The Painting on the Wall project. Gigapan offers an exciting opportunity for students to interact with each other as part of a global community.

"When we went through our city to look for meaningful street art, it really changed the way I looked at Baltimore City. I think it was a wonderful idea, and it enables us to see interesting parts of other peoples home cities" (Sam)
"I liked working with the gigapan taking pictures of graffiti"
The June Harless CREATE Satellite held a two-day training on September 30th and October 1st at Huntington High School in Huntington, West Virginia.
Around 40 teachers from Cabell, Wayne, Nicholas and Randolph counties from year one and two of the grant learned about GigaPan technology and how to integrate it into existing curriculum. Advanced integration strategies for every day use in reading, writing, vocabulary, social studies and science were examined as well. Teachers left with projects planned and ideas ready to incorporate into their classroom. We're excited about beginning a new year with GigaPan and looking forward to working with a great group of teachers!
