Jumpcut and Weebly

We were assigned to do a commercial on an educational software that we would like to promote. Keoni, Nan, and I did our commercial on mnemograph.com. Taking the video for our movie was the fun part. After we have taken the clips, we used imovie to create are movie. We encountered some problems, so we had to switch to a different program. Uploading our movie to jumpcut.com gave us the most problems. Overall, The experience was fun and I will want to do it again!

Picture Story

During one of a class, we were assigned to make a picture board using the picturetrail.com software. We took pictures before class and uploaded them up on picturetrail.com. It was easy to do because Nan had done this before. Making the picture board was fast and easy. Picturetrail.com was easy to use and had alot of features to choose from.
On a scale of 1-10, I'll give picturetrail.com a 10 because of its user-friendly features. I would use this software in my classroom where the students will look at the pictures and make their own story.

Webquest

Today, we presented on our webquest project. Every group's webquest had its uniqueness. each group had a different topic and I will probably be using some of these webquests that were created. On a scale of 1-10, I give this activity a 9. It was fun but a little bit time consuming. I will definitely use this webquest program in my classroom.

Chasing a dog...picture scavenger hunt

Today, we were given an assignment that required the use of a camera. With the camera and a list of objects to take pictures of, we headed out for our hunt. This activity was exhausting. It was an integration of physical education and technology. Finding the objects on the list was easy, expecpt for the boonie dog picture. We had to chase that crazy dog in order to get a picture. Other than the bonnie dog incident, the activity was fun. Afterwards, we uploaded the pictures and viewed a few from each group. Now our class is over so I will end it here.

Online word processing software

The 4 online word processing software that we explored were: buzzword, inetword, thinkfree, and googledocs. The buzzword was the software that we were assigned to evaluate. We gave it a four since we had so much trouble getting on and uploading documents. the best that we were introduced to was googledocs. The software had many templates and features that we would use in out courses. Basically, all these softwares allow people to post up a word document where others can read and revise the document.

Exploring the online processing software was great and allowed us to see things that will be useful to us.

Mnemograph

Mnemograph.com was a tool that we used to create a timeline. It is a great tool since it was so easy and simple to use. Students will have a great time creating timelines and will be engaged in the activity since it is fun. Not only will they be having fun, they will also be learning since the information the insert into the timeline will be something related to a subject. while they are typing the information in, they are also reading it, so they are learning at the same time.
