Class Calendar Reflection

It was not difficult to create a calendar, or to make it public. However, it was difficult to learn and remember how to embed the calendar into my blog. My level of experience with Google Apps is very low, but I am very tech savvy, so I am pretty comfortable with whatever I need to figure out. I think the apps that go along with Docs, Drawings, Slides, and forms will be the most helpful to teachers because they are the tools that teachers will use to create lessons. Depending on the student's grade, any tool can be difficult to figure out, but I think that the same apps will be the most helpful to the students.

EDpuzzle Grammar Assignment

Here is the link to the grammar video: https://edpuzzle.com/media/57e84bd46c45aa312154554c You need to watch the whole thing, and answer the questions as you go along. I really enjoyed using this tool. It was not hard to figure out how to use and I did not have to figure out how to embed it into my blog! I really like how I was able to customize my own video questions instead of having to use questions that other teachers have used. You can actually see if your class understands or not, instead of just hoping that they do. It also is a video, and videos keep students attention as long as it does not take too much time.

Class Symbaloo

Putting together the Symbaloo was not very difficult. It was a little bit hard to find enough websites to use as resources for things such as math, science, reading, and history. I also had to make sure that the websites would be easy enough for little kids to navigate. The most difficult part was figuring out how to embed the Symbaloo in a blog post. I will most definitely use this or a tool like this for my class when I become a teacher.

School Carnival Flyer

               I never really thought about using fliers in a classroom before. Once I started thinking about it though, I figured that it would be nice as a parent to receive a paper about something that is going on in my child's school. That way, the parents do not always have to look online to find out what is happening in their child's school. I decided to use Lucid Press and it was tricky to figure out how to start, but I eventually figured out how to use the tools.
