Classroom newsletter

Refelction: I really liked making this newsletter, it was really fun and easy to do. I used Google Docs to create it. I picture myself making one of these every week. It is a very good way to reach out to both students and parents. it helps them get ready for the upcoming week and helps them to know what is going on in the classroom. Its a vert fun thing to do and i cant wait to use it more!!

Reflection: I absolutely loved this website!! Holy cow it was SO much fun to use and SO easy! when you first start they give you easy and simple instructions that really help you to understand what to do! You can easily add as many items as you want or just have a few and it looks great either way! You can change the colors and add images and change the font, pretty much anything you could imagine! I definitely can see myself and my students using this for many assignments and lessons for almost every subject! This was definitely my favorite tool so far!

ISTE- Knowledge Constructor - i critically select evaluate and synthesize digital resources into a collection that reflects my learning and builds my knowledge

Relfection: I really liked Animoto. it is super easy to use, I can use this in my classroom for almost any subject and every lesson i am trying to teach. It is very instructional and its not hard to learn how to use. You can add your own pictures and captions. The one thing that i disliked was you were only aloud to add very short captions, I would have liked to make my descriptions a little bit longer. Other than that small detail i really loved Animoto and will definitely be using it a lot. I highly recommend it.

Tiki-Toki Staying Safe

    

Reflection: I really liked using Tiki-Toki. I definitely will be using this in my classroom when I teach about history and things that have multiple steps/ dates. I used mine to teach the students how to be safe throughout their days. Everyday students and kids associate themselves with many dangerous things so it is important that they know how to take care of themselves. This tiki toki is a day and the things that may happen through out the students day. This timeline instructs students on how they should be and act in those situations. My students can use my tiki toki at home to study for tests and i can use it in my classroom as part of my lesson. The only hard part of tiki toki was being able to space the time line so they weren't too far apart, i had to change the time because the items were too far apart and you couldn't see them. Other than that i loved tiki toki and will be using it a lot. I also think that once i learn how to use it more i will like it more.

Addition/Subtraction Flashcards

Reflection: I used STUDY BLUE  as my tool of choice! I found it really easy to use and very helpful for myself and for the students. Its a very good and simple way for students to be able study from home and put in extra practice for tests. It was super easy top create the flash cards and using the tools provided  is very easy. You can make as many sets of flash cards as you would like. The flash cards can have pictures and can have any symbols. So once my students get into more intensive math i can add pictures to help them count. Also for the flash cards i could add images of apples and oranges and help them do math through visualization instead of just practicing numbers. It will help them solve equations more easier and to be able to solve faster. It also has a review sheet of all the cards and quizzes that you can take after you study the cards I really liked study blue and will definitely be using it a lot in my classroom. It fits with all the standards and helps students learn how to use technology better.
