Google Slides

Link to Ocean presentation

I loved this tool. It's really user friendly and a great way to show photos and videos. I chose to do mine on oceans and I was able to put a lot of info about each ocean on different slides. I know I would use this in a classroom. I love that it saves to your google account and you don't have to worry about it. I had never used google slides before, but I had no issues with it.

Mind Mapping

I really liked this assignment. It is a great way to display a lot of information and expand to get a lot more details within a topic. This tool helps keep the information organized for individuals or groups of learners. I would definitely use this in a classroom to teach a specific subject.

Prezi

I really liked this assignment because I could get around it easy. It's a great way to present  information to students without being the same old boring slideshows. There is so much you could do with this tool. I think I would like to use this in a classroom.

Storybird

Santa's Special Gift
I didn't love this assignment because it felt weird trying to come up with a book with just a few pictures. I'm not a creative person so this was difficult for me. I don't think I would use this in a classroom, unless you wanted the students to use their creativity and make up a story.

Video Tutorial

Plant Life Cycle

Educreations would be a great tool to use in a classroom when you are presenting a new topic to the class. I likes how easy it is to use. The biggest part is the research and prep work. Making the video is very simple. I would definitely use this in my classroom.

Padlet

Link to padlet assignmnet

I like how user friendly Padlet is to move through. I feel like this might be one of the most self explanatory assignments that we have used. I chose to do mine on the States and Capitols because I remember that was one of my favorite topics to learn about when I was in elementary school.

Pinterest

This is my Pinterest assignmnet. I don't know how I would live without Pinterest, it is the best thing ever invented. I know as a teacher I will use it all the time. For example, if I want to teach the kids how to write in cursive there are tons of useful tips and worksheets.
TodaysMeet

This is a great tool to use for having a discussion without all the noise of a discussion. For instance, if the class was watching Charlotte's Web and wanted to talk about it, the class could log in and have a discussion while the movie is going.

Answer Garden Assignment

Answer Garden is a cool tool because you can get feedback that is anonymous, as well as, easy to share with students, teachers, and parents. This would be a great asset with parents and other teachers. I like it because it is really to use. You can just ask a question and wait for the answers.
