Hi, I am a absolute beginner with the Photon; however, I am thinking about using the Photon in the classroom. Has anybody experience with it in a high school classroom environment? I would assume students need to sign up with their email account, but would I be able to get the Photon re-assigned t…

Give you good advice. If you work low or mid budget schools. Not recommend using free public school Wifi and even public school VPN for photon. State Sponsor government can hack and change future election votes. Lack of security for students & teachers. So be careful free wifi. It’s bear trap. …

I’m not sure what high risk project or fundamental business secrets may be at stake in a High School class room :confused: Granted, it’s good advice to teach the pupils (and teachers ;-)) about net security and privacy concerns, but seeing a governmental conspiracy against school kids may be drivin…

I can share my notes and syllabus with you, if that would help. I taught at the university level, but since this was an exploratory course (for myself as much as my students), the material itself should be comprehensible to a good high school student. At SIGCSE 2017, my collaegue and I are going to …

MPRogers, I am in Brisbane Australia so Seattle is a bit fa, but thank for the offer. I was wondering how did you set up the Photon. Did your students set them up via their mobiles? Did they experience any problems? If I want to use e.g. IFTTT students would need to use their email for their Partic…

[image] MrRichardB: The school set up a special Wifi network for me (for testing) as the Photon did not connect to our main Wifi. Not sure if they like students to connect to the special Wifi. What if you get the school to white-list only the Particle Cloud server and the CoAP ports on the sp…

@MrRichardB I have taught Robotics with the Photon for almost 2 semesters now and am very happy with it. All 15 Photons can hook up at the same time to regular Wifi. Our school’s Wifi is fine some days and terrible other days (terrible for all Wifi not just the Photon on those days I simply do other…

This is great stuff by the way! It’s awesome how you have used the photons into your curriculum!

Continuing the discussion from Photon in Education? : [image] MrRichardB: MPRogers, I am in Brisbane Australia so Seattle is a bit fa, but thank for the offer. SIGCSE has attendees from all over the world, although I'm sure that wouldn't be a cheap trip from Australia! They used their comp…

I teach an instrumentation course at UNC Charlotte MEGR3171. I have been using the photon as an engaging way to allow students to interface the physical world with the internet and their mobile devices. My students mostly do not know how to program. I am teaching them the shortcuts and giving the…

I too teach at Uni level using Photon’s. No problems claiming, but in my case the students keep their Photon’s as part of their component kits. It’s easy to reclaim them though. I’ve had 30+ Photons hooked up in a classroom without any issues and this semester I’ll get to test 45 at once due to an u…

The trick to using the Photon in your curriculum is to actually write the curriculum yourself and get it OK'ed by the school board.
