PADLET

Nutrition and Fitness 

I liked the tool Padlet, it is a L2 for collaborate. 

I liked this tool, because it was easy for me to create. And it'll be easy for the students to use. 
Its a simple tool, you find links and pictures, and create text boxes with short statements of vital information.

 PROS:
1. Extremely easy to navigate the tool.
2. Easy to have the students use
3. Very Interactive
4. Reaches different types of learning, with reading of texts, watching videos, seeing pictures, and its all on a computer.
5. When this could be on a worksheet, but it is done on a screen, which is better for the younger generation and how they learn.

 CONS:
none

 I would use this tool, and you can have the kids make one as well! Searching their own information, and putting it into their own project. Knowing how to search things, then being able to copy and paste items!

Jumping & Running for ANIMOTO

Image
ANIMOTO I used Animoto to show different ways for an active lessons. This was an interesting choice on my part, because the kids needs to be active to learn these things! But they could watch and interact with the images and pictures, and then move to an area to be able to do the actions. So they learn by seeing, then they can apply what they learned from what they learned at their own pace through the slideshow video. I chose a difficult topic to use for Animoto. But I think with something science related would work very well. But having the kids learn something like jumping is kind of hard. But it works well. If I were to use this in the classroom, I would do different topics. Its good and quick! Somethings I didn't like about Animoto, were the templates. Even though they are free, I didn't like how there wasn't just a plain one to be able to create your own. Including transitions. You can eventually change them. But just having a clean slate would've been ni

NEWSLETTER Something so basic, was so difficult for me! I was excited to try and make something, because it seemed so simple. All teachers seem to do it as well, all throughout elementary school we receive newsletters to be able to be in tune with what is happening within the classroom. And they always looked so good! So I tried, but I am so grateful for templates. Because I was getting so frustrated with everything, copying and pasting pictures, creating text boxes, trying to put the document onto the blog! Which has been so frustrating for me! I know I would use newsletters throughout my classroom, because they seem to be essential to help communicate to parents, as well as help keep the students in tune with what is going on that month. The pro's of this tool, I used Word. Which gave me templates to use, but yet I am sure there are better templates on a better tool out there. But I thought I was familiar with word, but not that familiar I guess. I don't have a lot

MATH MADE EASY BY SOCRATIVE

Image
SOCRATIVE  I asked someone who sat next to me what they did for a communicate L3 tool of choice, and they suggested Socrative. And I really liked this tool! She told me it was hard to use, but I really liked figuring out how this would work! I would absolutely use this in the classroom! I really liked how it was so easy to create a math quiz, for my 2nd graders! It gave me the options of what kind of quiz to do, along with what kind of answers. So multiple choice, true or false, and short answer. And giving the options of adding a pictures with your questions. Which was perfect for this topic, because the students have to recognize the shapes of circles, hexagons, etc. So for them to have a visual right there on the screen was so helpful. Other features about this tool are the other options of quizzes you can give.Different forms, and visual quizzes. Such as watching the rocket move across the screen as you progress forward with correct answers. I liked this tool a lot. I kn
