eMaze Reflection

I thought this tool was really cool. It was super user friendly, and made it easy to get the students to participate. I liked how when I put in a url, it put in the actual site itself, instead of the link. I would use this as a teacher.

Google Forms Reflection

I liked using this tool. I think it is a great way to get to know the students before they come into the classroom. I also like how the survey provides the option to let the kids give a different answer than the ones you have provided. It was also really to use. I would use this as a teacher.

Prezi Reflection

I really enjoyed using this tool. It was really user friendly. It also had a lot of designs and templates to choose from, this way if you use it more than once, your presentations will not all be the same. I liked how easy it was to add links into my presentation as well. I would  use this as a teacher.

Storybird Book

I actually really liked this took. I thought it was nice to choose a group of pictures to use, and there were just a bunch of pictures to build your story around. It was also very user friendly, and has a lot of useful hints. I will most definitely use this tool as a teacher.

Creative Commons Reflection

I did not like this tool at all. Sure it is nice to have, to make sure that no one takes credit for your work, but the website was very hard to navigate. It took me over an hour just to figure out how to attach it to my picture.

Online Photo Editing


For this picture, I intensified the greens, and softened the edges. I also added a little bit of shadow, so that the pink flowers would stand out against the greens.
I changed the exposure on this picture to make it seem a little darker. I also made the temperature of the colors a little colder and saturated it a little bit.
In this picture, I made it black and white, but added the red of the flowers and the green of the tree in the center. I also dimmed the original colors, and saturated it.

Google Slides Reflection

I liked using this tool. It is easy to use, and you can use it for anything. I liked how easy it was to embed a video into the presentation. I also liked how I could control when students saw something in the presentation. Eventually, a teacher is going to have to make a powerpoint presentation, so they might as well use Google Slides. It is easy to insert things into the slides, and you can do anything you want with it. I would use this as a teacher.
