Inspiration 9

I completed a project using Inspiration 9 on the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells. I found this extremely beneficial because it gives students a great visual aid for things that they are learning about. They could also use it to create a project or study guide in class because it gives them the freedom to organize it however it makes sense to them. This would definitely be a great tool to use in the classroom.

Digital Story

I made a digital story with iMovie and I really enjoyed it. I found it a little frustrating at times because it was so tedious and meticulous. You also had to pay a lot of attention to detail while completing it. I think that it will be extremely beneficial that I know how to work the program when I am a teacher because I can make short videos for my students or parents.

Inquiry Based Activity

This technology project was really interesting. I liked it because it was a great tool in which to make a variety of worksheets and activities for students to use. I also liked it because many different teachers can go into the document and change whatever they like. It's a great way for collaboration and it is a great visual aid for students.

Resource Wikis

I thought the wikis were a great idea for a way to compile a list of resources. In schools there is so much emphasis on group projects and this is a great way to get in touch with everyone without having to be with them personally. Also, I like this because you can always refer back to it if you need any of the links or resources off of it. It has a description of the website under the link so that definitely saves you some time if you are looking for something specific.
