Welcome for Technology Tools

-
(Based on My Chemical Romance: Welcome to the Black Parade) I changed the lyrics to "Welcome to the Black Parade" to show what I have learned in my ED271 class.

Intro:
When I was a young girl
My teacher gave lots of presentations
Pertaining to the class
Bunch of slides and Powerpoints
Just those two were used for education
And making children pass
If you look past that one tool
There's much more that teachers could go use
For students all alike
It'll catch and affect them
Forever in their educational journey
Here are tools for you now
When I was a young girl
My teacher gave lots of presentations
Pertaining to the class
Bunch of slides and Powerpoints
Just those two were used for education
And making children pass

Verse 1:
Well first here's google docs and google forms and hangout
And dont forget about google keep
These google tools can help you communicate with all
Without leaving the comfort of your room

Chorus:
Technology tools
Technology tools
Are here to help you on your journey
Remember these technology tools
Technology tools
Be open and try out all these new things
You'll see the joy it brings you

Verse 2:
Lets go create a website
But what do you want to use?
I'll recommend some of these things for you.
There's wix and weebley, blogspot too,
There's so much more out there
Explore the web and find things you should share with

Chorus:
Technology tools
Technology tools
Are here to help you on your journey
Remember these technology tools
Technology tools
Be open and try out all these new things
You'll see the joy it brings you

Bridge:
Here are different presentation tools
Oh Oh Oh
Prezi, canva, slidebeans and emaze
Oh Oh Oh

Socarative, is a great platfomr
to interact and quiz your students
Go and try, Kahoot the quiz game
To test your kids, based on their knowledge
Go explore and learn some new things
Inside the webs, go and search up things now
Give a cheer for all the teachers
Listen here, because its who we are
Don't be afraid, of what tech brings you
They're here to help you reach very far
Don't be afraid, of what techn brings you
Lets go try

Chorus:
Technology tools
Technology tools
Are here to help you on your journey
Remember these technology tools
Technology tools
Be open and try out all these new things
You'll see the joy it brings you

Bridge/ Outro:
Give a cheer for all the teachers
Listen here, because its who we are
Don't be afraid of what tech brings you
Technology tools
Thank you all for this semester
We have all learned a lot this far
Give a cheer for all the teachers

Techonology Giving A Helping Hand

  Image of boy using tablet By being an elementary school teacher, I must be able to create or adjust a lesson plan that will benefit all students, including students with a disability. In addition, I must be make sure to be aware of different types of assistive technologies that can benefit all my students in their education.             Technology has proven to be very beneficial for everyone around the world. This is especially true for teachers where it has aided them in involving their students with a disability. In the video, “ How Assistive TechnologyEnables Dreams ” (2005), there was a student with a disability that made it challenging for him to use his limbs, which is challenging since he was in the music band. Although this student had this disability, the band director allowed the student to join the school band. The band director noticed the student was very passionate about playing, where if there was just one note he could hit, he was happy to do it. Through

Review on 8 Technology Tools for Teachers

ED271 has allowed me to explore the internet and come across many different platforms that can benefit students and teachers. In this post, I will be reviewing 8 technology tools I have encountered on my education journey. Moodle:  When I first entered U.O.G., my teachers made it a point to make students create a moodle account. At first, I did not know why moodle was so special to use? However, after trying out the platform, I understand why teachers like using it. Pros:  Moodle is a platform where students can turn in their assignments, take tests, answer questions, or communicate with the teacher. I feel it is much better then emailing a teacher your assignments. Once you submit your assignment, it can give you an email saying your assignment was submitted. I feel teachers and students benefit from this platform. Cons: Moodle logs the student out if they are not using the site, which is frustrating.  Moodle is also said to not be compatible with Google Chrome which is not

Behind the Scenes of Team Bravo’s Presentation: “Factor Pair Up”

-
The game team Bravo chose to do a presentation on is “Factor Pair Up” from the website “Mathplayground”. The game is geared towards fifth graders, however, the game can be played by third graders and up.              A challenge Team Bravo faced during this assignment was choosing an educational game. Because most of members were studying to be an elementary school teacher, the group decided to choose games at the fifth grade level. From there, Team Bravo looked at many websites to choose an educational game.   A problem encountered when choosing an educational game was that the games the group liked were not free.   After making an account to play a game,  it would stop working after being played a few times. The website would pop an ad saying the player has reached their “free limit” and ask to make monthly payments to continue the game. This was unfortunate due to the game being very fun as well as educational for students.           The process on making a rubric for the o
