Final Project Questions:
Question 1: Discuss the TWO (2) tools that were your personal favorites from the semester and why.
Canva App:
I loved using the Canva app because it was a fast and simple way to create an image, poster, etc. Becausewe want to teach our students not to plagerize, it is important that we also follow this rule. This app is a great way to not have to worry about using stollen images. I was easily able to create my own original images and make them exactly how I visioned for any specific project. Teachers could use this app in the class room to make graphics for around the room, for lessons, and also for student use. An example of student use would be making an informational poster after or during a book report, history lesson, math lesson, and ect. |
iMovie App:
I enjoyed using the imovie app throughout this coursebecause you have the tools to create a very elaborate projects with multiple tools all in one app. I also enjoyed how you can really make something very simple or very detailed depending on what you are striving for. This resourse could be used in the classroom in many ways. For example, the teacher could create a fun short video to introduce the students to a new lesson or concept. Another example would be the students creating a video instead of writing a paper or presenting something in front of the class. |
Question 2: Look back through your entire website (yes the whole thing), look at all you have accomplished and learned this semester. Reflect on what you have accomplished & learned this semester.
At the beginning of the semester I was excited to take this course but also nervous at the same time because I have not had much experience with apple products. Now that I look back on the semester I realized how much I have leaved that I didn't expect. On top of learning how to use the iPad we also learned about different apps and resourse and how to use them. This will be benificial in my future classrooms so I already have something to start with
Through out the semester my two favorite projects were Design like a pro and the iMovie trailior. I enjoyed these projects the most because they allowed for a lot of creativity, which I believe is very important in the classroom.
I have also learned a lot my doing the weekly reviews. Getting an insight into other teachers worlds really helped open my eyes to all the things I could do. I think it is awesome how we have created such a large community for teachers all over the word to communicate and share their knowledge.
