Quick overview of today's topics. I'm going to be doing a deep delve into our most recent PowerPoint Interaction assignments and the touching up on some technology-related topics. 

Assignment 5: PowerPoint Interaction


Pictured above is the home page of my most recent PowerPoint project. When instructed to create an interactive assignment or game I immediately knew that I could combine my most loved past time and my most hated past time. Math and board games. Within working on this assignment, I learned how to stop linear movement within a PowerPoint as well as learned how to link pages to one another. In doing so I was able to create this fun, interactive Algebra One board game. 

Classmate Blogs

I was shocked at how amazing some of my classmate's blogs were. Everyone had so much information and interesting themes, so it was a prideful feeling when viewing them. There were definitely some new tools and things I picked up when looking at my classmate's blogs that I'll be implementing my future work. 

Google Classroom

I recently had to use Google Classroom for another project for a different course. I know that many high school's use Google Classroom over other programs like Schoology, but I have never gotten that opportunity. I was able to get by for that one project, but I definitely want to explore the ins and outs of Google Classroom more on my own time.

 Hello again! I hope that y'all are having the best day! Copyright So today I'm going to be discussing copyright and fair use. As teachers were often tasked with making lesson plans, handing out works sheets etc. But how do we overcome the issues of copyright? The simple answer would be to just create your own work, but unfortunately it's not that easy. Things like pictures, or even worksheets can be considered copyright. We can get around this problem by getting license's with Creative Commons. We can also encourage our students to do the same when working on online projects! Academic Dishonesty and Productivity But, encouragement only goes so far. In this day in age it's almost impossible to prevent students from "looking up" answers, or copying from the internet. Because of this it is imperative that we have an Academic Policy stating the repercussions of doing such a thing. We can also positively redirect students to helpful resources to gather informa

Bonjour! I hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend just as much as I am. Today I'm going to talk about school websites, personal technology use, PB Works, and Twitter.  School Websites If you click on the above photograph you can see the link to the website.  School websites are a great tool to connect with teachers as students or parents. Here we can see information regarding school events like bookfairs, sports events, etc. We can also navigate through teacher information about class activities and a tentative course schedule. As a student or parent more information may be available via login information, but this can be helpful to those who do not have this information.  Future Classroom Technology Use I would love to someday be given the opportunity to create my own class website. I think this is a great way for everyone to get information. I think that I would use a website in place of handing out papers all the time, for example monthly newsletters. I also would want

 Hello again! Brief introduction of our topic for today. I'm going to be discussing some of my personal experiences with technology, more specifically Diigo, blogging, and Canva.  Diigo Honestly, I don't have much to say here. Diigo is fine. That's about it. Not good or bad. It's quite frankly a bit confusing to use and read when you're in a group. One of the things I do actually like about it is the ability to add the extension to Google. This makes posting in a Diigo group that much easier. This being said, I DO NOT like the annotation and sticky note feature on Diigo. It's confusing and the sticky notes don't show up on the page, but rather on the side bar. Personally, I would really only use this program if I was required to.  Blogging Initially using Blogger was very confusing to me. The create format is hard to learn and use. But since I've gotten used to it and learned the best ways to use them, I have quite enjoyed it. I learned that blogging is
