Aloha 'Ike Ohana!
Mililani 'Ike's DigiArt Squad is proud to release our first official school project. It is a Virtual School Tour of Mililani 'Ike Elementary School! The map is linked under a new "app" on our virtual tablet on the school website. www.milike.k12.hi.us
Look for this "App" on our 'Ike homepage!
(This "app" design was created by our DigiArt Squad - Aliyah L. was the talented artist who brought the idea to life in Photoshop!)
The purpose of the map is to welcome new students and families to Mililani 'Ike! The Google Map shows a satellite view of the school and shares pictures of common areas and provides procedural information that may be helpful to both new and returning students.
All photography and text has proudly been written by DigiArt Squad members.
DigiArt Squad members learned a variety of new technologies and skills to create this virtual map.
- Teamwork and Leadership Skills
- Critical Thinking & Problem Solving (A LOT of problem solving!)
- Interview skills
- GIMP (Photo editing program)
- Google Apps (Maps, Draw, Drive)
- Basic Photography Techniques (Digital Cameras and iPads)
- iPhoto
- Basic photo editing
- Photosphere App
You can also check out the Photosphere (360 degree) pictures we took of the school by visiting maps.google.com and searching for Mililani 'Ike Elementary. We are working on taking a few more of these pictures and connecting them to take you on 360 degree virtual tour!
Here are a few pics of the DigiArt Squad hard at work :)
