Inspiration

Inspiration is a great tool for teachers! I feel that when I actually become a teacher I would consider purchasing this tool to map out unit plans for the students and that sort of thing. Right now though it is not something I would want to buy simply because I do not use enough graphic organizers. This tool could easily be used in a secondary class as a way for students to show me they understand the material and how it relates to one another by creating their own. My main question though is, is this a well known tool? Do most high schools have this application purchased and available for campus use or is this something that I would have to purchase on my own. I guess I would like to know, how popular is this is the education world?

Picture Scavenger Hunt- Opposites

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

This scavenger hunt was a very fun experience. Even better, I enjoyed creating a video using animoto because I have never used it before. I like that we had ideas given to us for what to hunt rather than thinking of our own theme. This was a fun exciting project!

Musical Photo Collection

This project was a probably my least favorite exercise only because I felt it was a little boring. I think we could have maybe used a cooler or new tool to present the project. It was good to see how to embed a slideshow from picasa but the gathering of photos was a tad boring..
