Week #15

This week we completed our final. It didn't take me very long to figure out how to create a flyer and newsletter, but posting it in PDF format onto my website took forever! When I finally figured it out I could not believe how simple it was. I guess I was just thinking that it would be complicated, but in reality it wasn't. :)

I love how easy it is to share information using the tools that we have learned in this course. As teachers we will be able to easily collaborate with other teachers, while also sharing the information with students and parents. The Google tools are the most helpful with this, and I can definitely see myself using them in the future.

I watched the video this week with my 7 year old cousin. It brought a different element into the video. We watched the School House Rock - Noun video, and she absolutely loved it! :) She was singing the song the rest of the night. I didn't think that these types of videos would be effective with that age group, but I was obviously wrong. The video taught her what nouns were while also helping her to remember what she had learned. I love the creativity that School House Rock uses in their videos, and I can see myself using those videos in my classroom. They are not only fun to watch, but they help kids remember the information.
