So, I'm back again for my second blog post. It has been a rough semester in terms of my not having enough hours in a day to get everything done that I need to get done! But, I'm managing to stay afloat.
Now...looking back to assignment 4, Visual Learning through Inspiration software. This was a fun assignment. I am a very visual person so I enjoy creating learning tools to enhance the classroom instruction. I created a learning tool that would help with teaching the differnt cell organelles as well as mitosis. The Inspiration software was user friendly and I was able to quickly figure out how to add different shapes, change font color, incorporate images and add hyperlinks.
Assignment 5 was helpful in learning how to create a gradebook using Excel. This will be a great tool for organizing students grades and will be helful in generating various charts to show grade distribution amongst students.
I absolutely loved Assignment 6 as I LOVE PowerPoint. I had fun creating a game that reinforced the learning of my subject and prepared students for an upcoming quiz.
The WIKI, assignment 7 was interesting as I had never posted a WIKI before. I researched Voki's and Digital Storytelling, both of which I knew very little about. I love the idea of having students create Voki's or a digital story as ways to enhance their visual literacy while building various skills throughout the process. I also learned about Virtual Fieldtrips and Skype through looking at a classmates WIKI. This assignment opened my eyes to so many opportunities to include technology in my classroom.
Looking forward to the remaining assignments!!! :)
