Course+Work

All of the following projects and technical tools used in the course were my first experience with each. Each of these projects gave me a different direction to go with classroom projects. While working with many of these tools I had to be prepared to solve problems that might arise. What this taught me was possible struggles my students will come across as well. I think it is very important for me as a teacher to explore all areas of a program before presenting it to the children. Of course there will be times where we will still encounter problems that we would have to solve together, which is a great learning experience as well.





I enjoyed and learned a lot about power point presentations with Module 2 and creatng a persuasive presentation. Through this project not only did I learn a lot about IMP's but I learned how to manipulate text and pictures on a power point presentation. I was proud of the final project.

I have always just kept my project ideas for my students in my mind, in my planbook, or jotted down on a note pad. This was my first experience creating a storyboard. It really gave focus, direction and organization to my project idea.

The voicethread project I absolutely loved for my Kindergarten students. The possibilites are endless; response to literature, science projects, art projects, field trips, etc. VoiceThread

Creating a timeline for my lesson plan was of value. It gives you an overview of what you are planning to do and where you should be approximately while engaged with the project.
