This
has been an amazing learning experience. I have learned so much about
technology I actually feel like I could share some of my knowledge in a PD with
my colleagues, I hate public speaking so through a digital story of course. Judy has made learning fun with the use of
technology. I am excited for the next school year because I cannot wait to try
out more of the things I learned in class with my students. I have already signed up to participate in
the Global Read Aloud. I especially
loved working with Google Drive and Google Docs. I figured out that I can upload pictures and
documents from my phones Google Drive and it shows up instantly on my laptop. No more emailing myself. In addition, I learned about the Snipping
Tool built into my computer. I keep that
on my tool bar for easy access. I enjoyed using VoiceThread, Animoto, Storybird, Padlet (my personal favorite) and learning how to embed links into my post. There are still other teaching tools I have yet to try like GoAnimate, Tagxedo, and Bitstrips but will explore them this summer.
Notice how I was able to link to the sites I mentioned. Yup, I could not do that before this class.
Here is my attempt using Voki. I had fun changing the different voice and creating funny faces. My Voki looks glum because class is almost over and it is bittersweet.
