Week 13 - Weebly

This week we made our own online portfolio that includes our personal experience, education, skills and awards, hobbies and interests, references, and a link to our blogger page.
The benefits of having an online portfolio is so your future boss can see it online and at any time.

I liked the weebly site because it was easy to customize. The thing I didn't like was that I was confused most of the time when I first stared making my portfolio.

I would use weebly in my future classroom for my students to keep a record of all the activities they do, it'll be useful to them later on in life.

Week 7 - Quiz

This week we went on www.quizyourfriends.com and made our own quiz about either facts about the sun or facts about cats. I chose to make the quiz on facts about cats because I don't like cats and I thought if I got more information on them I might change my mind.

I would give this site a 10 because it was very easy to us and very user friendly. I would use this in my classroom to make quizzes because it's so easy. I would just write the question, write the answers and have my students take the quiz online.

Week 6 - Pixton

In today's class we went on pixton.com and made our own comics about technology. My comic is pretty basic because I didn't really have any creative thoughts in my mind. It was actually really hard for me to think of a good way to make a comic about technology.

I liked this website because it allows us as future teachers to find our creative bones in our body and try to interact it with education.
I would rate this site a 10 because it was very fun and entertaining to make our own comics. I loved how easy it was to use.

Week 14 - Slide Share

My partner Michelle and I worked on the topic "Using Weblogs in the K-12 grade curriculum". For the presentation we used www.slideshare.com. We chose this topic because we thought that it would be easy and it was. When we compared slideshare to prezi, slidedshare was more user friendly and ultimately that's why we chose to use it. I definitely would use this software again because I feel comfortable with it.
I would rate both me and my partner a 10 on our presentation because we worked really hard on it and we did our best. If I were to do this project again I would maybe put more animation into the powerpoint because we didn't have any.
I would use this software in my classroom for presentations. When students have things to present I would have them use this software because it’s as easy as tying your shoes.
