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 of my own interest from the list of Learning- Information Processing Technologies provided by Dr. Wang. I chose the website blockposters.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 Replaces and Passive. I think this because it is simply creating a poster than a teacher can print of to display.  This website gives the ability to create large posters that you can print from home for free.  There are 3 simple steps to create a poster.  This is an example of a poster I created of Abraham Lincoln. In this example the image is going to be printed on 9 different pieces of paper that can be put together to create the large poster. This website is the simplest website to use that I have looked into so far. It only has the three steps that the website takes you through.  I believe this website is not versatile at all. It has one objective and that is ...

This blog entry is about a tool of my own interest from the list of Learning- Creativity Technologies provided by Dr. Wang. I chose the website befunky.com . In class we discussed the C of TLC which is Creativity. We also talked about PICRAT and I believe this website would be considered Replaces and Creative. I think this because it is simply creating a collage online rather than on paper and it lets the students be creative with a topic.  This website is a online collage maker. It allows many different images and can have customized text as well as many other customizations.  This is an example of a collage I made about space.  This website was extremely easy to use. It doesn't have a lot of components to it so there is no confusion that I could find. I don't think this website it super versatile. I think it is a good tool for students to create a visual on a topic but doesn't teach a whole lot in my opinion. Teachers could use this tool to create images to excite ...
