Tiki Toki is it living?

TIKI TOKI
I made a tiki toki for a 3rd grade science lesson. Which entails how to decide between living and non living organism. But my review of Tiki Toki is that I wouldn't use this. I didn't like how complicated it seemed to be. I had to watch a few tutorial videos to be able to figure out how to work it. And I still don't think I know how to work it very well. I got the hang of it the more I used it. 
I liked the overall layout of it, but I don't think I picked a good lesson for Tiki Toki. For example, a good example would be to have a Tiki Toki as a history lesson, showing a timeline. Because thats what I have seen what tiki toki seems to be. 

I didn't like this tool, and I wouldn't use it. But it was a good thing for me to try and learn because I had to seek out videos to try and learn how to use it. 

I tried to put video links onto the slides, but I don't know how to access them now. I was able to do the pictures, but everything else didn't seem to work. I attempted, but I know there are better tools out there to teach the standard of the lesson I picked.

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

My Healthy Self! Padlet

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! My Healthy Self! Padlet                                            UEN CORE STANDARDS The stude

Different World

STORY BIRD  The use of storybird would be so helpful in the classroom, because you customize a book online. And you can have it printed out if you want, but you can display it throughout the classroom on the projector or have them each look at it on their own screen.  I like story bird, because you create the story. You create the vocab, and the story. The only thing I didn't like, was the pictures were hard to mesh with my standard that were provided. But its using creativity to make the pictures work for that specific standard. But I really liked this tool, and its easy enough where the students could make their own story. Because they could work on many things, such as using their keyboard skills and typing, and spelling, and being able to understand content and use creative writing to make a story!  UEN STANDARDS Human Development and Relationships Standard 3 The students will understand and respect self and others related to human development an
