Water Cycle

ED PUZZLE 
Wow I really liked this tool! I thought it was easy, and it helped so much. You find a video, or create your own, then cut and edit it. Which then you can add questions into it. And I think this is a great tool to use, because it is something visual, and the kids can also listen to it, hear the information. Then answer the questions, while watching the video! 

I have no cons for this tool, I really liked it, because it was so easy to learn how to use. And it helps different types of learners. I will definitely use this tool in the future!

 The one thing I couldn't seem to figure out is the "open ended" questions, and so whether or not when taking the test those answers are correct or not, I didn't figure out how to use them.

 Below is the Edpuzzle, created for 4th graders to learn about the water cycle.


 UEN STANDARDS
Science Benchmark

 Matter on Earth cycles from one form to another. The cycling of matter on Earth requires energy. The cycling of water is an example of this process. The sun is the source of energy for the water cycle. Water changes state as it cycles between the atmosphere, land, and bodies of water on Earth.

 Standard 1
Students will understand that water changes state as it moves through the water cycle.

 ISTE STANDARDS

 Creative Communicator: I communicate effectively and express myself creatively using different tools, styles, formats, and digital media.

 ED TECH STANDARDS

 Standard 5
Use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom. (3, 4).

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
