Slide Show Presentation

Today in class, we created a slide picture story. Mr. Jenkins gave us some website for creating slide show such as slide.com, rockyou.com, and picturetrail.com. Our group chose to use slide.com to create our own slide picture show. First, we decided to make a fable “Goldilocks and the three bears” for our slide show. We used images from google and puppets from our own. We took pictures and upload at slide.com. It was great software. This is my first time to create slide show. However, it was so easy to access and to upload the pictures. Also, it could create customized design easily. More over, it could copy at my blogger. I would like to use this slide show to my future class. First, I would like to ask students to create their puppet and do presentation in class. After that, they can make their own slide show using by google image after that they can write their reflection about real puppet show and online puppet slide show.

Create a Puzzle

Today in class, we created our own puzzle for students. I really like these puzzle software for word-searches and crossword puzzles. I would like to use this software in my class. Actually, I already made one reviewing words for my tutoring student.


This site is what I was really looking for.

8 Big Events in My Life

Today in class, we learned how to make timeline using by Timeline Generator (http://www.teach-nology.com/web_tools/materials/timeline/). It can be used to make a simple timeline of eight events. I made “8 big events in my life so far.” It was so easy to make it. I just write on the date and description. I really like this site but I couldn’t find any reference to “upload pictures.” However, I can modify this assignment in my future class. For example, I can ask my student to read a picture book of biography and tell them to write the key events of his or her life. It is a great example of lesson strategies.

WebQuest

A WebQuest is a learning activity used by educators it can make learners interact with comes from resources on the internet. Today in class, we used zunal.com. It is a good site for teachers to build their learning activity through the process of creating a WebQuest.
Ashley and I made one WebQuest through the zunal.com about the puppets. The purpose of our WebQuest is to introduce students to puppet shows. Students will work cooperatively in groups to explore various websites to learn about the history and purpose of puppet shows, create scripts for their own puppet shows, create puppets and props, and techniques for putting on their own puppet show. One thing I didn’t like about this site, I could insert only one picture for uploading. Therefore, it was a great experience that I could use this WebQuest in my future class.
