TWITTER SAFETY

TWITTER 
I decided to do a level 3 collaborate tool of choice, and I decided upon Twitter. I used twitter all throughout high school, and loved it, because I was so connected to the world and to my friends, constantly. So with this tool, and the power of the internet, it would be a good way for parents to stay connected to their students on a social media level. Twitter could be used to have daily tweets, updating what was happening in the classroom that day, or even having tweets about what homework is due as well. It would also give the students and opportunity to tweet things themselves. I like twitter and it is a good opening door to have students learn internet safety, and have them involved on a different level.

 As well it would be easier to keep Twitter updated daily, rather than keep a blog updated weekly for the parents. 

 The cons of Twitter is that the world is also so involved with it as well, and that there is garbage on it as well, so the cautions of what the student might be exposed to is high as well. So safety and blocks would be happening to prevent exposure to unwanted items.

Jumping & Running for ANIMOTO

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

MIND MAPPING It is so easy done on paper, but then trying to do it on the computer a whole other story! Very interesting, but a useful tool! I decided to use the tool, Popplet . Where it had basic examples shown to you as you went through the learning process, which were very helpful. Basically self explanatory. This tool helps you map out a basic idea, and then further explain it with more bubbles of thoughts, with pictures, and short definitions. So you aren't overloaded with words! It lays it on the paper as you want in the order you want as well. The things I liked about the tool: 1. You can change the color of the boxes. - I put my definition words in the red boxes, so that would let the student be more aware of what they need to remember. -I also had the same color for the same subjects. 2. It is so easy to use. Being able to upload pictures is very easy! As well as adding new text boxes, adding the train of thought! Easy Navigation. 3. It is easy on the eyes. It g
