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.

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.

Zoomerang Survey

Today we created a survey through . It is a site that makes creating any type of survey very easy. I feel that this will be helpful throughout my time as an educator because I will use surveys as one of my methods to track the progress of how my students are doing in their studies.

I chose to do my survey on buying books at the Fairmont State bookstore because I feel that a lot of students choose different options when buying and selling back books.

Poll

I added a poll to my blog. I decided to add a poll and ask my viewers who they thought should have won the reality show, American Idol. It is one of the most popular shows on television and a favorite of mine therefore I added something a little fun to the page -------------------->
