This blog entry is about a tool of my own interest from the list of Learning- Information Processing Technologies provided by Dr. Wang. I chose the website emaze.com . In class we discussed the L of TLC which is Learning. We also talked about PICRAT, and I believe this website would be considered Amplifies and Creative. I think this because it is allowing students to be creative when making their presentations. I think it amplifies because it is improving their information processing. This website is a presentation builder similar to google slides but offers different templates and additives. It includes a variety of templates, 3-D effects, video backgrounds, audio and interactive elements. It is a free website and similarly to google slides multiple people can be working on a presentation at once.  I believe this website is very easy to use once you get your account set up. For some reason when I was making my account the email code, they are supposed to send to confirm ...

This blog entry is about a tool of my own interest from the list of Learning- Creative Technologies provided by Dr. Wang. I chose the website Pixton.com . In class we discussed the C of TLC which is Creative. We also talked about PICRAT and I believe this website would be considered Amplifies and Creative. I think this because it allows students to be creative with their Avatars while advancing their learning because they are more engaged and interested.  Pixton is a website that allows students to create their own avatars and use them to complete assignments. There are options to create comics and a class photo with everyone’s avatar. I believe this would be a fun activity to do at the beginning of the year. It also has a spot where you can look at different lesson plans and assessments that include the avatars. This is an example of the avatar I created for myself. When I created my account, I signed up as a teacher. The website has many options for diversity as well. I...

This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT about previous T3PP results. Specifically Whiteboard.fi in the RQ2 technologies list. We have been talking about the PICRAT model in class. I believe that Whitboard.fi amplifies and is interactive because it gives the teacher the ability to graph and use other tools that would be more time consuming and difficult to use on a real whiteboard. It is interactive because students can interact with each other with their whiteboards.  Whiteboard.fi is an online tool that allows teachers to create a virtual classroom where they can share a digital whiteboard with their students. Teachers can create lessons so that students can collaborate in real-time in the classroom or from home. This is an example of some of the things you can do on Whiteboard.fi. On the left you can see the teacher whiteboard and on the right there are student whiteboards. The ease of use for this website is great! It was very easy to create a whiteboard class on the t...

  This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT about previous T3PP results. Specifically Nearpod in the software mentioned by Secondary School teachers list. We have been talking about the SAMR model in class. I believe that Nearpod is an Redefinition because the teacher can use the website for so many things to do with curriculum and it also gives students the ability to work at their own pace.  Nearpod is a online learning platform that allows teachers to create engaging lessons and deliver them to students in real-time or online. Teachers have the ability to upload a variety of resources, including videos, images, and interactive quizzes, and use them to create dynamic and interactive lessons that keep students engaged and motivated. Students can participate in Nearpod lessons using a variety of devices and can provide instant feedback to the teacher through interactive features like polls and open-ended questions. Nearpod also allows teachers to track the pr...

This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT about previous T3PP results. Specifically  Kahoot in the software mentioned by Elementary School teachers list. We have been talking about the SAMR model in class. I believe that Kahoot is an augmentation because the teacher is using it to replace quizzes but has the ability to use images, videos, and adds competition to keep the students engaged.  Start by creating a Kahoot account. It will ask if you are a teacher or a student (select teacher) and then ask if you want to pay to upgrade. I personally think the website works perfectly fine with the free version. Next, you can create a kahoot or search through previously created kahoots.  There are many different types of quizzes to choose from! This is what it should look like when you are creating a kahoot. Lastly, this is what the students will see. They don't have to create an account they just need some sort of device and then type in the code that ...

This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT about previous T3PP results. Specifically Flipgrid  in the Microsoft Technologies list.  Flipgrid is a tool that allows teachers and students to create and share short video responses to prompts or questions. It is a virtual video discussion board where everyone in the class can participate and share their thoughts and ideas! Create group and share link with students Students can record and respond to each other. I found this website to be very easy to use. You simply hit record and post a video response to a topic or question. The only problem could be students running into issues with getting their technology to record. I think this tool has a lot of versatility. It can be used for introducing students to each other, as a homework assignment, assessment, etc. It is nice that students have the ability to respond to their classmates.  I think the likelihood of using this tool in my classroom is fairly low. I think it ...

This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT about previous T3PP results. Specifically  Google Forms in the Google Technologies list. Google forms can be used as a form of assessment, used to get feedback, or to find stats. All you need to use google forms is a google account. There are many different templates that can be used on google forms. Some examples are exit tickets, assessments, worksheets, and course evaluations.  You are able to customize the responses. (ex. short/long answers, multiple choice, check boxes, dropdown)  As a teacher you can look at the students responses. There is also the option to create a quiz with points and correct answers so the website tells you what score the student receives.  I found this website to be very easy to use. It is very straightforward with not a lot of pages to get lost.  I think this tool has a lot of versatility. It can be used for data, assessment, exit slips, assignments, etc.. It is an easy way for teach...
