Flip Chart

Flip charts are so cool! They are basically a more awesome version of powerpoint. Kids can get up out of their seats and interact with your presentation. This will keep them engaged and interested in your lesson.  I had a good time making my flip chart but I feel like there are tons of things that I need to learn about making them.   There are so many different features that teachers can add to flip charts and I feel like I could use my whole teaching career making new things.  I definitely  see myself using this tool in my future classroom.                                                                                  

Mid Term Reflection

It's crazy to think that the semester is almost over. I think the thing that I am most proud of that I have accomplished this semester so far is creating the website. It was not too difficult to do and I can see myself playing around with it and using it in the classroom to communicate with parents and students.  Right now I am working on a Promethean board project about Australian Aboriginal Art.  I think that this would be a fun topic to present to a class. I'm excited to get to work on it during class.

Google Presentation

I finished my google presentation and I thought it was pretty similar to making a power point. I feel like they made the tool really intuitive and easy to use.  The only part of this assignment that I thought was a little tricky was uploading it to the website. I had to play around with embedding it for a little bit, but I eventually figured it out.  I envision myself making power points to begin almost every lesson so I think I should just start using google presentation and uploading them to a blog so that students that might have missed a class can catch up.
