Question 1
Discuss the TWO (2) tools that were your personal favorites from the semester and why.
My favorite app that I used this semester is adobe spark video maker(see my reflection and project from earlier here). I made the below video with this app. I love this becuase it is simple to put it together and easy to use. I used this app for other classes not just Ed Tech. I find that students/classmates are more engaged if they can listen to something rather than just reading a paragraph from a book. The app also has cool themes and let you create everything that you could ever want to make. I see myself using this in my future classroom by having it as a resoruce for students tha are dyslexic, or seeing impaired becuase it allows me to read to them the words on a page and have them larger than they would be in a book.

My second favorite app of the semester is adobe spark project.. Yes this app is like the above app but yet different and amazing in its own way. You can see one of the projects that I used this app for right here. Below you can see a project that I created with this app. I love creating this presentation for a future classroom on this app becuase it was EASY. The app also allowed me to be creative and myself. I see myself using this app in my future classroom by having my students create things on this website. I also could create a lesson on this and have my students read through and follow along with what is on the page to complete an assignment.
Question 2
Look back through your entire website (yes the whole thing), look at all you have accomplished and learned this semester. Reflect on what you have accomplished & learned this semester.
Over the semester I have accomplished and learned many things. I have learned some new really awesome apps and some app that are really frustrating and will never use again. My opinion of technology in the classroom hasnt really changed much in the begining I believed that technology had a supportive role in the classroom and now I believe that it is a mechanism of teaching that can be used sometimes. Something that really surprised me was that there are so many apps for teachers and students on the Apple market place, I didnt think that there would be so many. My favorite part of the semester was being able to use what I was learning in technology to other education classes. My favorite blog that I review is Kindergarten's 3 R's as seen in the picture below, this blog is alot of fun and is very informative and useful for teahers of all levels.
