This week in TPTE, we were introduced to interactive white boards. We are using the ActivInspire software from Promethean Planet. The flipchart that we did in class was a great example. We got started on creating our flipchart yesterday in class. I will be doing mine on the inner planets of the Solar System for a fifth grade classroom. Right now, I am feeling a little overwhelmed. It is such a big project, but I know it will be easier once I just start making it by using the software. I can't wait to see my finished product! I also can't wait to be able to use this tool, because it is such an important tool to know how to incorporate into my classroom in the future.
We also learned about animoto this week which is a website that lets you make 30 second videos. It looks like a great tool as well, and I think I would use it for virtual field trips (although it can be used for other things in the classroom). The other tool we learned about was Google forms, which is located in Google drive. I think this will be a good tool for formative assessment but also can be useful for getting parents input. Once again, it was a week filled with learning many great tools for my future classroom.
