Station stop #4

On the rails again! We have been looking at some image editing tools and web sites. My favourite one that I found is called "Any Making". Below is an example I made and it is just one of the many cool effects that this website can do. Check it out!!!

 

We also discussed smart technology, specifically the smart board! We look at notebook which is really useful for making smart board presentations. We also just got to play with the smart board. We found it has a virtual deck of cards and virtual dice and many more. All types of virtual fields that coaches or gym teachers could use for describing plays. A key thing to remember is that you must put the marker down before you try to do things haha!! Going into student teaching this will be very useful for me as my classroom has a smart board and all of the students notes are created using notebook.

 

One last thing we looked at was good old powerpoint. A very useful and common tool for students to use. The key things we pointed out were common mistakes made when using powerpoint. For example too small of print, weird and distracting backgrounds and ect. Below is a you tube video about some more common mistakes made when using powerpoint.

 

 

Well that is this ride for now. See you soon again!
