I've learned that there are a variety of different options available to customize slideshows in google slides. You can add doodles, shapes, text, images, and much more!

I could incorporate this technology into future classroom activities by making presentations that involve games, such as family feud style slides to see how much students know.

I've learned that Nearpod is a great tool to use in class to make lessons more interactive. You can add games or videos with questions embedded in them. There are many more interactive things you can add in the slides as well!

I could use this technology in the future to engage students who have trouble following along. This way, they can do interactive activities that requires them to use their knowledge. I am also able to see what they are doing to make sure they are on task.

I learned that this AR app includes elements such as sound, 3D characters, and interactive activities such as tracing numbers.

I could use this technology in future class activities if I can't get a student situated or focused in on reading. This could help them learn their numbers or learn a story.

I learned that this app includes elements such as different subject materials and 3D AR experiments. This would be suited towards a middle or higher grade level.

I could use this technology to engage students and help them understand different experiments or methods.

I learned that this site has many different options for creating a word cloud. You can change the shape, font, layout, style, and color! Just uploading a link will create one.

I could use this site to create a word cloud about a new concept we will go over. I could ask students what they already know from the words.

Microsoft Word: Word Cloud

I learned that you can make a word cloud in microsoft word by going to the developer tab, clicking "add-ins," going to "store," downloading "pro word cloud," and inserting it. You can highlight what text to use and customize the word cloud!

I could use this for a word cloud reviewing a topic we just went over to check student understanding.

NEXUS Education

I learned that QR codes make it easy to find assignments, they save time, they make class more entertaining, they help students research, and they help teachers stay organized.

I can use QR codes to make class more fun and I can stay organized since I can use them to track students' work and grades.

Bored Teachers

I learned that QR codes can be used to make learning stations, make extra activities, check answers, have virtual field trips, make an online gallery, create invitations, and save paper!

I could use QR codes in learning stations. One code could be a video explaining a concept and another code could be the answers to their worksheet.

Diffit

I learned that you can use AI to find information on pretty much anything you want! They gather information and compile it together to create content for teachers.

I can use AI to give me lesson or question ideas for assignments.

Magic School

lydiaaengle1 — 2025-04-14 01:08:36 UTC

I learned that I can use AI to help generate detailed lesson plans.

I could use this technology in the future to save time and have thoughtful and thorough lesson ideas if I'm feeling stuck.
