I was very happy to be able to collect these resources because it enables me to go back and review the videos when the course is taken down from Blackboard.  It also allows me to quickly look on this page instead of accessing the book when I want to try some of the new technology tools I learned about.  I can easily look here.
I would suggest google docs for administrators to use.  As a matter of fact, I would say anything in the google line up, from the calendar to the docs.  It is easily accesslable from any device you may have.  It is also very simple to navigate for the most part.

There were several good assessment tools featured.  However, I think I will choose Kahoot.  The very first time I was exposed to Kahoot was in a high school setting.  I was at a conference and it was so much fun seeing how much the students really enjoyed it.  That was the first time I heard a teacher tell students to take out their phone as opposed to them saying put up your phones.   The students were very engaged and really enjoyed playing the game.  I would use Kahoot for an all school trivia night or even to extend it past the classroom, I would use it for my church’s youth group.

One of my aspirations is to write a children’s book.  I always thought it was so expensive by the time you get an editor, illustrator, and publisher you would have to save for years or get a second job. I was delighted to see several options for self-publishing.  I see the advantages and disadvantages and at this point, the advantages outway the disadvantages.  I would really like to try LuLu for publishing a book.

I was so inspired by Lorrie and Meg's comments that I added them for posterity.

RE: 3 tools

I want to give you encouragement with LuLu. I know some teachers who used it with their class and liked it. Follow your dream and publish! I played with Storybird which is another tool in the textbook because I knew LuLu already. It was fun to make my own book and I think students would enjoy it a lot. Good luck and best wishes for your own book. Will it be a chapter book or a picture book?

RE: 3 tools

I think publishing a book would also be so great! One way you could use LuLu would be to create a book at the end of the year about all the things your class learned and include pictures you've collected through out the year. That would be so fun for students to look through. You could laso show work samples from the beginning of the year to the end to show growth.

Week 4, 3 tools1.  Image Making In our Pre-K program we have a graduation at the end of the year.  This year, I think I would like to try Conva to make a poster advertising the event.  Conva appears to be a good choice because little artistic ability is needed.2.  ScreencastI would be interested in trying Screencast-O-Matic.  One can record a video for up to 15 minutes and publish the video on YouTube.3.  Interactive PostersCurrently in my Pre-K room we take pictures of the different activities and display them on the wall outside of the classroom.  Many parents do not drop off in the morning so they do not have the opportunity to see the pictures.  With Buncee, I could share photos for parents to see classroom activities online.  This would give the parents who are unable to bring their child to the classroom in the morining and opportunity to still the pictures. I think this would be an excellent teacher resource.

1.  Collaboration:  Post-It-PlusI choose Post-It-Plus because I always have a bunch of Post-It notes on my desk and this sounds like a great way to get organized.  The last teacher conference I covered about a fourth of my desk with notes.  I didn't want to lose them and I wanted to make sure I followed up with them.  So for this conference, I will try Post-It-Plus and organize them in one place instead of on my desk.2.  Surveying:  Poll DaddyI was interested in this one because it sounds like a fun way to take a survey by using pictures.  I like to find out about my students' likes and interest at the beginning of the year.  Since they are Pre-K, I ask the questions and then write their response.  This may be a good way to have them be more independent.  Maybe I could have the parents help them.  Also, there may be other ways to use this technology in a Pre-K classroom.3.  Writing:  Google Docs unlike  Microsoft Word, I can easily find my documents that I have previously created without searching through a long list of alphabetized documents.  With GoogIe Docs, you can conveniently share the document with someone else. Also, I recently found out you can save a Doc in Word.  For example, if you have to downloaded/attach it.

3 Tools from wk 2 learner tools1. Productivity - Google CalendarI would go with Google Calendar for productivity.  It is user-friendly and activities or appointments can automatically go to the calendar from your gmail account.  My school supplies us with an account so google calendar serves a dual purpose for me.  I can put my personal events and reminders on it as well as my school stuff.  I also like how it gives you options to set reminders from an hour before to weeks before.2.  Presentation - SlideShareI would like to try SlideShare for presentations because you can search for different topics and lessons that have already been prepared.  I could see it helping me cut down on time in looking for material for unit themes or preparing lesson plans. 3.  Content Curation - BloglovinWhat an ingenious idea to put all the blogs that I follow together.  It would make for easy assess for me to get educational information. Once again, time management is crucial.  With all the due dates and deadlines to be met; this tool would help in saving time.

Introduction to the SAMR ModelDr. Ruben Puentedura developed the SAMR model as a way for teachers to evaluate how they are incorporating technology into their instructional practice. You can use SAMR to reflect upon how you are integrating technology into your classroom. Is it an act of Substitution? Augmentation? Modification? Or Redefinition? To learn more about the connections between SAMR and Bloom's Taxonomy, see Dr. Puentedura's blog post, "SAMR and Bloom's Taxonomy: Assembling the Puzzle."
