Blog 1- Flipgrid

-


 My first blog is about flip-grid from Dr.Wang’s ppt RQ2. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with this tool! This is a great tool for teachers to check the understanding of their students in a safe and private way! Flip grid is designed with individual classrooms that only students with the invite code or link can view. This way, when students share videos of themselves discussing  the things that they learned in class, the videos stay within the classroom and no one else can see them. This can allow the children to stay safe online whilst still creating a community outside of class with their peers. Flip grid allows students to respond to prompts organized by the teacher with videos! The students will be able to see the instructor’s  videos as well ass their peers. They can interact and comment on each other’s videos as well. This tool is easy to use and set up from an educator standpoint, but also very easy to navigate as a student. In order to connect this tool with the framework, I would choose number 7- assessing the content or number 5- check for understanding. It took me 5 minutes to create an account and set up my classroom. I would very likely use this in my classroom settings!  Here is the link to flipgrid : https://info.flip.com/

    Flipgrid is a technology I had not heard of and was thinking of checking out. Your explanation is urging me to check it out myself. I really agree that this could help in the classroom for students to feel more confident and secure with their videos only being shown to you the teacher. Well done!

Blog 5- Go Noodle

 Go Noodle is the next technology I am going to cover! This one can be found in Dr. Wang's PPT on the informational slide. Go Noodle is a website that provides fun and educational videos for kids. These videos are created to help kids stay active, learn new things, and have fun at the same time! The videos on Go Noodle cover a wide range of topics, from math and science to music and dance, and are suitable for students of all ages. This website is free to use and can even be used to aid in lesson planning or as supplementary materials in your own lesson plans. I think that this website is very easy to use and would be great for all ages. I think this could be not only used for learning but for incorporating brain breaks into the classroom. I could see myself using this tool in my future classroom. We recently discussed the SAMR framework. I think this could easily fit into the substitution category. I think that Go Noodle can be a substitute for Google in a way. When looking for ed

Blog 10- Star Fall

 For my next post, I will be talking about Starfall. Star Fall is an engaging and fun website with many games for children to play to practice different skills used in school. The skills range from math to reading. Starfall also has a variety of fun games relating to the seasons and Special days! I remember using Starfall when I was in elementary school, however, they have kept up to date on their program! Personally, I can see myself using this in my future classroom especially because it is easy to set up and use! This website does not even require accounts for the children or the teachers. I also find this tool to be versatile in the subjects it covers and the grades it caters to. I think Starfall would be a great technology to incorporate into the LAT lesson plan Framework. This could be a fun and engaging website to use to reinforce what is being taught in class! https://www.starfall.com/h/index-kindergarten.php?mg=k

Blog 11- Cool Math Games

 The next technology I want to talk about is cool math games. Cool Math Games is a website featuring games and puzzles for kids and teenagers. The games are designed to be educational and fun and cover a range of topics including math, logic, strategy, and more. I think that this is a very easy tool to use as it does not require any sort of account to use, however, there are games that some teachers might not see as educational. It is up to the students and the teacher to use this tool responsibly. I think Cool Math Ganes would be good for higher elementary school students. I think that this would be great for use in the TPACK framework when discussing technological knowledge in a lesson plan!  https://www.coolmathgames.com/1-number-games
