QR Codes is a type of barcode that contains a matrix of dots. It can be scanned using a QR scanner or a smartphone or mobile device with built-in camera. When scanning or taking a picture of a QR code with your phone might open a URL in your phone's web browser. It can connect you to various links, websites, pictures, videos, and more! My project was a reading comprehension activity where students will first scan the QR code and be directed to a short story. After listening to the short story, students will answer the reading comprhension questions I came up with below. This I feel is definelty a fun and creative way to add to a reading comprehension assignment. This is definitely something I would incorporate into a lesson in a similar or identical way as a future educator.

Powtoon is mobile and web-based software used for creating animated presentations and animated explainer videos. My project was a powerpoint briefly talking about and labeling the solar system.

iMovie is a is a video editing software application where one can create or edit templates creating a video using effects, adding music, incorporating images, and much more! This project was again a quick presentation of the solar system. I would more likely use this application as an activity based lesson plan for the students, rather than an instructional tool I would use to teach a lesson. I would allow the students to create an iMovie of either theirselves or pictures of a topic discussing a instructional topic they picked. This is a good way to get the creative juices flowing and find a topic they are interested in!

Ozobot is a robot that students can manipulate because of the tiny robots ability to identify lines, colors, and codes on both digital surfaces and physical surfaces, such as paper. My lesson plan was using Ozobot in a creative way tying it to a story read in class. It is uploaded here. This is a creative example I would very much like to try or incorporate in to a lesson plan in a similar or identical way.

Educreations is an application that transforms your iPad into a recordable whiteboard. It records your voice, handwriting, and also allows you to insert pictures to produce your own personal video lessons that you can share for your students! In my project I used this app to create a small introduction lesson plan on the parts of a flower. I would use this in my classroom as an introduction tool. An example I could use in a lesson plan, is before introducing a topic in class, provide the students with this short video previewing them of what they will learn in class the next day. An example could be the parts of the flower, giving them a brief description of each, labeling them in the video, and then elaborating on the topic the next day with a fun activity in class!

Snapchat is an application where one can use fun filters, send messages, pictures, and videos. In my project I created a video and attached it to an email welcoming my students to the first day of school. This app can be used in a lesson by reminding students of a few reminders of things to study and prepare for before a test. A way I may use it, is before a grammar test, chose a fun filter and go over a few examples with the students a weekend before the test.

This can be used in a classroom for students to prepare for a test, an interactive presentation they can do in the comfort of their own home. An engaging way I can include this app in a lesson plan is the same way I did in my project. Students can review my presentation the night before a solar system test and test their knowledge over the material in a interactive and fun way.

The SMART Notebook application is a notebook collaborative learning software. Using this app, you can both use and edit SMART Notebook lesson activities for individual and collaborative learning. My project was an activity that can be done interactivley discussing the difference of the tools one will need on a sunny or a rainy day. A few ways I would use this in my classroom is as a labeling activity, a review or study tool, or a way to introduce a topic in an interactive way. A way I could use this in a lesson plan is to introduce what a proper noun is and what is a regular noun. Students will interactively decide amongst theirselves what they believe the difference is among them examples and check their answers. This will lead to a group discussion.

Voki is a fun avatar tool that students can use for homework, classwork or projects. They can customize their avatar's appearance and what they say, and share with others! The project I uploaded was an avatar of my dog, allowing my students to be introduced to my dog in a new way. A way I could incorporate this into a lesson is a welcome to school lesson. This lesson is a fun creative way to get to one another. I would have all my students create an avatar and record three fun facts about them. Once everyone has done an an avatar, we can present them class.

Thinglink is an application where students can interact and annotate with both images and videos. For my project I used this app to create an interactive labeling activity of the solar system. I would use Thinglink in my classroom as a studying tool for students to use when labeling diagrams. A lesson plan where I could use this app is if we were studying the parts of a flower. I can find a picture of the diagram of a flower and label it. After, the students will then be able to look at the image, name the parts of the flower and then click on the part of the flower to check their answer.

You can create the story line and illustrations, as well as include helpers at the end of each page to help with reading comprehension and interactive questions throughout the story. The Book Builder website also allows the capability of the book to be read aloud. This is an example of a book I created. I would use this app in a lesson plan to practice asking questions while reading a book and spotting context clues. I would use the helpers to guide the questions I feel the students should be asking as they read the book. This activity will improve their reading comprehension skills and improve them as readers.
