Life was much easier when Apple and Blackberry were just fruits...

In case you haven't read in earlier posts how much technology frustrates me, I'll tell you now, it FRUSTRATES ME! Losing your work after hours of completing it, passwords, passwords, PASSWORDS, freezing, virus', complicated websites, and what do you do if there's a blackout? ...PANIC! As it states in my title, life was much easier when Apple and Blackberry were just fruits. Unfortunately for me, you can not escape the use of technology. Throughout this semester, I have been exposed to many ways to use technology in the classroom as a tool for learning. Some of the websites we used to create presentations are as follows:

TagCrowd :

This resource allows you to copy and
paste text, click visualize, and then 
view the most redundant words
from that particular source. this can be
a useful tool to find vocabulary words,
topics to stress on, and terms for further
discussion.






Tiki-Toki :

This websites creates interactive web-based
timelines that can be presented in 2D or 3D.
It allows the creator to create a background
image as well as a picture for each timeline
event. In addition, information regarding the
event may also be posted. Timelines are
important tools in students learning and can
only advance their understanding. 





ThingLink :

ThingLink encourages its users to create
interactive, engaging presentations. These
presentations can consist of images, text,
resources, websites, interactive games,and
videos. This tool allows you to take a
normal, boring power-point lesson and turn
it into a more exciting and visually pleasing
presentation.





 Kahoot! / GetKahoot! :

GetKahoot allows it's user to create, play, and
share fun learning games for any age and for
any subject. Kahoot is the website students visit
in order to participate in the interactive game
that was previously created through GetKahoot.
this resources is not only fun for its participants,
but it allows the instructor to see if the students
are understanding the topic, what they need
more practice on, or if they can use a challenge.
