Semester favorites:

Throughout this semester we have been introduces to a great amount of resources and tools for our teaching career. However, I liked Animoto and Prezi the best. This is because I find those to sources the most useful in the classroom.

Not only were we required to know about these resources but we were asked to try them out and in some cases incorporate them into lessons. I have used both, Animoto and Prezi, in lessons plans that we made for our Core Teaching Lecture and Lab. I enjoyed using both of them in a great level. These two resources actually made me want to incorporate more technology in my classroom. One reason is because they are both engaging and not boring or monotone.
There were many resources and tools that I am still not sure why we have to know them or how to even incorporate them into a lesson, but that is not the case for Animoto and Prezi. I believe that these resources are extremely important to take under consideration, especially for new teacher who are not very teach savvy because it is so simple to use!


Here is an example of what I have done with Animoto:
