Celebrating Teen Tech Week with Interactive Displays

Due to the timing of our state's writing assessment my school will celebrate teen tech week a few weeks late this year.  As a newly initiated BYOT school I really want to make this celebration an opportunity for students to use their mobile devices to participate.  I also want students to have the option to participate using a computer since not all of our students have or bring mobile devices.  As I considered options I recalled visiting a friend's library media center and noticing a poster titled favorite author.  Her students had written down their favorite authors on sticky notes and stuck these notes all over the poster.  This recollection inspired the interactive displays below.  These displays have been enhanced with Padlet, Google Forms, Aurasma, and QR codes.  The beautiful guys and girls read displays are thanks to my wonderful intern, Lena Sprouse.  Photos of the displays along with corresponding links will be added to our school website.
