1. Introduction
Video and Paragraph-
Standard 1a: Promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and
inventiveness.
-Used
in classroom or not: I
think the introduction video and paragraph would be good to use in the
classroom. If using with older kids, it would give them a fun way to split up
with groups and go around campus to film about themselves. They could be played
during class or on a blog to let other kids watch and meet their classmates.
2. Ghostery- Standard 4c: Promote and model digital
etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology
and information.
-Used
in classroom or not:
This could be used but I do not think I would use it. I downloaded it on my
computer at home and did not see a difference in anything besides pop-ups in
the side bar constantly.
3.
Facebook Page- Standard 4d: Develop and model cultural
understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of
other cultures using digital age communication and collaboration tools.
-Used
in classroom or not:
This could be used with facebook, twitter, or pinterest. It would show the kids
a little bit about each classmate outside of school.
4.
Concept Map- Standard 2a: Design or adapt relevant
learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote
student learning and creativity.
-Used
in classroom or not: This
would be very useful in a classroom. It would be great for projects to be shown
to the class.
5. Voki- Standard 3a: Demonstrate fluency in
technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies
and situations.
-Used
in classroom or not: I
think I would only use Voki if we had extra time in class. It is almost the
same as Xtranormal but more creativity. I would rather use Xtranormal over
Voki.
6.
Webpage- Standard 2c: Customize and personalize
learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working
strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources
-Used
in classroom or not: I would defiantly use this as a teacher.
Some schools now use the Internet to communicate with teachers. This would be a
good way for all your kid’s parents to know a little bit about you.
7. Xtranormal- Standard 1b: Engage students in
exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools
and resources.
-Used
in classroom or not: I
think this would be good for a younger class to use. Since younger kids are all
about learning safety rules, they could each make a video about one they have
learned and put their own creativity in it.
8.
Movie Maker- Standard 1c: Promote student reflection
using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students’ conceptual
understanding and thinking, planning and creative processes.
-Used
in classroom or not: This would be good to use at the end of
the year. The students could make a video of everything they have done since
the school year started. It could be pictures of them or pictures of all the
projects and schoolwork they have done.
