This week was overwhelming, but fun. I enjoyed experimenting with the new graphics programs and presentation software, but also stressful!! This time of year is crazy!! We have 2.5 weeks left of school and between all of the work that goes with the end of the year, having a 1 year old, and all of this homework!! I am already feeling stressed!! I did enjoy playing around though!! I just wish I had more time and energy to devote to it!
The presentation software that I used was glogster. I truly enjoyed using this program and hope to use it in my classroom some day!! It wasn't really a presentation software, but it was a nice alternative an something I can see my kids using as a visual aide. It reminded me of blabberize which I have used in my classroom before! Here is my presentation if you want to check it out!! I also took a look at a lot of the other presentation methods and was impressed with what was available, but I am still partial to power point. I like the features of power point and I am comfortable with it, but it is about time I start exploring other options!!
The graphics were fun to play with, but I am not sure how much I would use it in my curriculum! I am sure my kids would enjoy playing with them, but I feel like it would be a lot of work to find ways to incorporate them into my classroom!
Overall, I am looking forward to playing around with stuff in this class!! I just can't wait until I actually have the time to truly enjoy playing around with all of these new tools.... 2.5 weeks can't go by fast enough. Time to get back to reading this weeks book assignment :-(
