Bender Converter

By using BenderConverter, I was able to save YouTube videos to my desktop and open them using my Windows Media Player. This was so helpful and I feel that I will definitely be using this tool in the future because I feel that digital learning will excel in the future.

I feel that standard 3, Model Digital Age Work and Learning applies closest to this assignment because it promotes digital learning. In this technology inspired world that we live in, we can take advantage of all of these digital software systems being created to help us as educators be able to strongly educate our students.

Appropriate a YouTube Video

I used a free software call SaveTube in order to save my YouTube video. I chose a School House Rock video with a song that helped me remember the Preamble to the United States Constitution when I had to memorize it for my 5th grade History course.

Online videos such as what you will find on YouTube are very educational and I plan to use them when I become an educator because they worked for me.

SaveTube

I feel this type of digital learning relates closest to standard number 4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility.

Jeopardy

My Jeopardy Template


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I used this website to create a Jeopardy game with the United States Capitals. I feel that I will able to use this website in my classroom as reviews for quizzes and tests. Had fun with this assignment!!

Powerpoint/Prezi

I am having issues with my computer because my microsoft powerpoint will not open at the current moment, will try again later. Gotta love technical difficulties.

Google Spread Sheet

Grade Spreadsheet
This assignment was very difficult to do, but will be great to use when documenting grades. After this practice, I will have an easier time using this free program through Google Docs once I have a classroom of my own.

Google Calendar

Google Calendar has become of use to me. It is very handy and it also has sent me reminders to email about upcoming events.

Google Forms

I really enjoyed doing this assignment and I can definitely say that I will use this in the future. This form will help me monitor my students progress throughout their studies as well as benefit me in the classroom in various other ways. My form is above and I based it on Google Docs and how everyone is progressing with this new software.

Tiny

Today I used Tiny in order to shorten longer links. I never knew that this website existed until this course and I know for a fact I will use this tool many of times in the future. I have always hated having to post long links in assignments because I feel that they just take up space therefore Tiny will be of great use to me personally and as an educator.

My Example:

I shortened the link above into this short link below:

MM4 Reading

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KOC514i_BQKHifdjC1JLk-YDIbCi03Ag9KQCvn7JtQM/edit?hl=en_US

Above is my link to the questions from the reading. This reading was interesting to me because I didnt realize how many different learning styles there was. These principles are ultimately different and determining your own preferred style takes some time and memorization.

8th Grade Data ^



In these two documents above, I have created two different yet very similar bar graphs that depict data of the NAEP Test Scores in both the 4th and 8th grade. The purpose of these documents is to inform about the need for additional funding in order to increase tools for higher educational purposes.

I found the KidZone website to be very educational. After a little technical searching, this website helped me create these graphs and will someday be used for educating my students.

Reading #3

Reading #3 dealt with multitasking as well as the Cone of Experience. I learned that memory and sensory skills go hand and hand. This reading made me look into my past and relate my memory skills into my academic past.

Reading #2

https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1ZeJrq2q34nS-CFsNK7f3mtg8kJi97WMc3DZA1Yv4aAA

After having trouble accessing the readings as well as replacing a laptop, I am finally back into the world of technology.

Dale's Cone of Experience is a unique tool of education. After reading about the cone of experience, I have considered that this will be a great tool that I can use in the future as an educator.
