Reflection Chapter 10 assignment-specific tools

I would not use "wordle" too much with High school students unless I was teaching a Social Studies class or discussing a Historical event such as the U.S Civil War and events that took place during the war of the states. I was more impressed with Voki. The fact I was able to locate a Bullfighting arena in the middle of downtown Madrid, Spain and follow the path to it from the city as I travel on the highway is incredible. Gone are the days of using encyclopedias and printed maps. Using the "Voki" website allows one to actually visualize a place or event.

Chapter Six assignments-Reflection

I enjoyed  being able to create an animation using Go!Animate where I was able to use a caricture figure of Newt Gringrich and insert some humor in it. I feel my students will be able to likewise create such projects but on a more serious note, being historical , or world events.

Assignment #4-Google Documents/ Reflection

As stated before, the modern usage of technology is ever-evolving. It is because of this fact that we as teachers are able to incorporate these methods of teaching. I was impresssed with the presentation the ladies put on. It is obvious to me I will need to practice more when creating lessons and activities using these methods. However, once I have a better grasp of using google documents, I can see how beneficial this will be for my students.
