Cyber bullying is a large part of today's society and that is not okay.Using my skills in PowerPoint, I made a slide explaining what is considered cyber bullying. I plan to show every single one of my classes so that they know the risks of cyber bullying and what they can do to stop it.

This is a Haiku Deck that I had made to show students a little bit about myself. A Haiku Deck could be used for many different reasons. It is similar to a power point but allows way less words. This technology could be used to give a brief summary of a lesson coming up.

An iMovie Trailer would be another fun way to introduce a new lesson about to be taught. There is so much you can do with this and they are fun to watch. This one is a story about two dogs falling in love.

Making a newsletter is very important for any class. It helps keep the children and their guardians aware of what events or assignments are coming up and any extra information the teacher wants to express. Newsletters could be daily, weekly, monthly, whatever is preffered! Below is one that I had made.

We were to create our own graphic organizer over UDL. This was very helpful for me to understand what exactly UDL means. UDL stands for Universal Design for Learning. Having your students create graphic organizers could be beneficial to them since we all learn differently. Also, this organizer could help explain what UDL is exactly and all educators should be aware of it.

This site allows students or teachers to give a speech in a unique way. The person is able to choose different characters and voices to give a presentation. A voki would be a fun way for a teacher to introduce a topic or for a student to share something.

Microsoft Excel gives easy access to organizing data together. A good way this could be used in a classroom is to have the students take a survey and then place all the information into the excel sheet and change it into a chart or graph so that the students have an easier picture of how many students voted on different things. Below is a few charts I gathered from my classmates.

Not all students get the opportunity to travel or go visit different places around. Virtual field trips are a great way to make every student feel included and get to experience the same trip as everyone else. You could easily set up the class just as if you were really taking them on a field trip. In this case, I found a great website that allows the students to travel to a zoo and explore all of the different animals and habitats. Googling virtual field trips could also give you many more options to use based on the lesson.
