Graphing Tools

Finding out the comparisons on the National Average for 4th grade in math, science, and reading.

Using Kids Zone to make the graphs.

Movie Maker

I used a previous powerpoint assignment in this class: Cyberbullying for my movie maker.

Now once again I am having trouble uploading my movie onto my blog. I can get it on here but it is taking a long time to upload the video.

Once I downloaded the movie maker application and applied my powerpoint presentation
this was an easy activity to do. Everything was self explantory. If I wanted to make a movie in the future, I would definetly use this application.

Open Letters to Educators


Times have changed drastically from the time I started college until now. After watching the video with Dan, he wants educators to get enthused about technology. We want to get our students pumped up about education. Lectures, out with the old, Technology, in with the new! No one wants to sit in class and listen to a boring lecture for about 40 minutes about nothing. Getting up to speed with technology will get our students more involved. Technology will always be changing and will be the future. I have learned a lot from this technology class and hopefully use the applications in my classrooms to help my students. Like Dan says, "the world is always changing, if you don't do something about it, it will change without you." Let's get motivated and do something about it.

Tiny URL

We had to make one of our URL's a smaller version, so I chose my blog address. It started out as http://shell3-dhj.blogspot.com/ and now it is blog address . What an easy to shorten. I never knew you could do this. What a great tool if you need to shorten an website that is very long.

Google Forms

This application was fun to work with. Very easy to follow directions, and the tutorial was very helpful. It allows you to make any type of question you would like. I chose a Volleyball Test with ten questions. I thought I would try another lesson besides the Food Guide Pyramid this time, yea!!!

Jeopardy

I thought this activity was a lot fun. The only hard part about it was thinking of the questions. Of course, I chose food as my title, considering I've done the food guide pyramid throughout all my
blogs.
