Time Toast

I really enjoyed using Time Toast. I think that it is a tool that has a lot of capability and potential to be a very cool tool to use with my students. I think it is good for perspective and to supplement instruction by providing a visual of the content that is being presented. I also think that students will be able to utilize this tool.

Imovie

I really enjoyed getting my feet wet with IMovie once again. I was involved in a mass communications class for three years in high school and really enjoyed learning how to make and edit videos. I think that it is an important tool for a teacher to have because if we are proficient then we can make cool and engaging videos that will enhance the learning environment for students.

Blogger

I have really enjoyed learning how to use blogger. I first created a blog to follow my trip this summer to Uganda. I had some background knowledge on what you can do with it and attach to it. There are so many things, it is important to stay fairly basic and user friendly. I have really enjoyed using and utilizing the blogger tool. I plan on blogging when I get through with my internship to communicate to both parents and family and friends.

Animoto

I really enjoyed using Animoto. I can see myself using this tool to make quick videos that will help students gain a perspective of the progress that they have made. It is especially good, in my opinion, because it is free and all that the user must do is enter the pictures and the tool does the rest of the work. It could also be used by to show parents their own student progress. The opportunities are endless!
