This app was very useful for this project. I found that the app was user friendly to anyone. I tend to struggle with technology and this app made making this trailer simple. The video I made was about different types of food and the imovie app pretty much did all the work for me.

 

Glen Wiebe has such an exciting blog, he is a curriculum specialist and consultant. His blog is all about how technology can be implemented into learning.

Shelly Fryer is a teacher who lives in Oklahoma and is a women who loves to implement technology into learning in a classroom. Her Blong was very interesting to look at. She almost always posts pictures of her class using the technology she is implementing or the finished products of what is created in her classroom. Her Blong has some of the most creative ideas I have seen thus far. One of her latest post was about how she assigned a famous black person to each student in her class and they did a research project over them. I do wish her blog was a littl more organized by categories or tabs. Overall this blog was very creative and gave me many new ideas.

Larry Ferlazzo’s blog is very interesting. His blog is all about website that could help teachers teach ESL, ELL, and EFL. His blog is quite inspiring because not as many teachers make blogs directed toward students who are learning english. Ferlazzo has ideas for how to teach students that are in one of these programs but also lists website about how other students can help and support learning student in a classroom environment. He has posted ideas about in classroom discipline, and how reinforcement is crucial because it shows the other students the classroom environment is consistent and safe for everyone.

 

This blog was created by Kelly Tenkely. She is a teacher, and a technology education specialists who really likes to be able to meet the needs of many different learning styles. She begins her blog by posting a math app called Monster Math. I went to my app store to see if I would like this app to use in my future classroom and I have to say it was quite useful. Tenkely also give a strong explanation about why utilizing technology in the classroom is so important, she believes it helps students who struggle with learning in traditional ways. She has many links to websites on her blog that are for multiple learning styles. Examples of theese learning styles are verbal, logical, musical rhythm. Another app that she has listed on her blog was called 123D Design which would be great for students who enjoy assembling and building with shapes, great for a geometry lesson.

Overall Tenkely’s blog was very interesting I do wish she had a list at the begging of her blog where she listed all of the apps she used. As a whole her blog is full of ideas of how to integrate technology into the classroom. I really like that she has so many ideas about how to use technology to cater to students who have different learning styles.

 

Blog: moving at the speed of light

Overall I really like the set up of this blog. There post on their blog that talked about distributing free ebooks; Amazon, Apple, and Smashwords. This was very informative about what apps. are easy to post books on and what apps are hard to post books on. Wesley Fryer is the author of this blog and explained in great detail about both the struggles and the successes he had. He has explained about his great struggles with posting books on Apples IBook, he has also explained his success with using Kindle Direct Publishing and other tablet apps that are more user friendly. In his posy Fryer explained how Apple  higher’s people from PC to show how they design their apps. so they can make their products more suer friendly.

I really liked how Fryer explained in detail about what apps are made more user-friendly by certain companies. I didn’t like that the writer bashed on some PC product designs but didn’t explain an alternative side.

Osmo was very intriguing, I feel that systems such as this would be great to use in the classroom. I really liked the tangram app with the different shapes. This was both challenging and unique way to create designs and shapes. Very exciting experience and would be great to teach Geometry. This app also inspired me to get out of my comfort zone for example I struggle with drawing and I was able to have a opportunity to experience drawing in a new way with the app.
