Animation

All my life, I've had the dream of becoming an animator, since I'm a big fan of Walt Disney's work. I just think it's cool that he came up with the idea of animation and turn them into movies. The only thing that I never though about animation is how time consuming it is and you just feel like you just want to get your ideas publicized before anybody could steal your ideas. However, with PowToon, it got me interested of it and it was a little time consuming to come up with ideas, but for this, I decided for this animation video, I make a show of coming up with classroom rules, because every teacher has got to come up with rules for their classroom, so their students can be good citizens and good learners. I hope you enjoy and I also hope these are the way to start making rules.

Annotated Video

I've never made an annotated video in my life. I never actually thought that you could find a video you like to watch and use it for students to be tested on what they're analyzing from the video they're watching. For this one, I picked a video from my favorite show called Studio C. As soon as you start the video, and start watching it, you'll be able to encounter questions that are related to the video and you need to try to answer them. Hopefully, you'll understand that any video can be part of education when you learn it in school.

Creative Commons

I've never used the creative commons site in my life. At first, I thought it was just a site that required me to subscribe. I've just learned that Creative Commons is a website that helps people to identify how they want to protect and share their work. You answer some questions and it generates a little box for your blog. This box tells other people that they can't just steal the stuff I made, it does tell them though, if they can share it or use it to make their own creative thing. I've put a license on my Newsletter. You can see it on that blogpost.  

Google Hangouts On Air

I've never done Google Hangouts on Air in my life. I've heard of having a video call on computers like talking to someone on the phone. For this, I never thought that it was like interviewing someone especially for seeking advice from other teachers. For this, I interviewed my sister who's a teacher herself that explains her ideas and teaching her students on what they should study in order to take their science test. I'm quite speechless on a lot of things, whenever I have to answer questions that have some abstract vocabulary in a sentence. But, I think that's part of becoming a teacher is practicing on saying stuff to give feedback to the teachers. Hopefully that works for all of us.

AntiMoto

This is an animoto video that I created that presents tips for less stres. This video would be good for a school classroom especially for fifth graders. It was kind of confusing at first to use this program, but my sister showed me how to get started. Then, it was entertaining. I just wish that Animoto could let you put on more words. The text just seemed so limited.

Casting by Pod

I've experienced being interviewed to be on the News, but I've never actually done an interview that would be taken to broadcast and be set up on radio. As a matter of fact, I've never used Podcast before. Also, I've never done broadcasting on a computer before. This is a start for me. Anyway, the topic that I chose to broadcast on that might be fun and educational for children is the first book of Harry Potter. I made it sound like I was previewing the entertainment, inspiration, and persuasion of reading Harry Potter. I chose this picture of my sister and her husband at their bridle shower, because they used a harry potter theme. my sister really loves the Harry Potter series as well as almost everyone else in my family. I hope this podcast will be helpful for you.

Calendar on Google

I've never checked on my calendar on my Google Account, but it was really both hard and fun to come up with events that would be given to students and their parents about events that are coming up on the calendar. With these events I came up with and added an extra one just in case, I thought this would be a neat way to start making schedules for students and teachers. I'm not quite sure about all the apps that are being on the Google Account being the best, but it's the least that can be used for being an educator.

Tutorials to a Video

I've never made an instructional video that would become a tutorial for every student while being in the school. This video tutorial I made from MoveNote is when I made a presentation on the different safety drills that every student needs to learn about in case they're ever going through a dangerous problem that they've never known that could happen to them while they're at school to learn the subjects they're required to learn about. If they're able to learn about the drills correctly, they'll be able to graduate and become a safe citizen throughout their lives of school and other educational experiences. While watching this video, in order to see the different subjects, you'll have to manually change slides to the next one that I've talked about.

Letter for News

I wasn't quite sure what topic I should talk about on the Newsletter, but I think I came up with a very good one that children might love to learn about. I'm not much of a journalist writing news articles, but everyone has taught me that writing a Newsletter isn't about learning something from the News Channel, but you come up with something that you've learned all your life and you should teach that experience to future children. Mostly, it takes time to write a Newsletter and make it accurate to use. Anyway, this article I wrote is on learning the history of African Americans and how they've made a difference in our world and made it a big success today. I'm not quite sure this is the case, but I hope it's a letter that sounds really new to you.

Gardening is the Answer to Life

I've never thought there were websites that could go really fast to make things more simple to use. As a matter of fact, I've never actually heard of a website called AnswerGarden. The way I was looking at the homepage of it, it sounded really hard to me at first, because I thought it sounded like I had to write a news article on a topic that was on the news, but then it got me thinking when looking at the rubric that it's really fast and simple. The topic I used to ask on was adjectives. Then I got a lot of different answers from almost every person around me giving me their answers to the question of what an adjective is. It almost looked exactly like planting a seed in a garden. Other than, the only answers we would find in our garden in our backyard, we have to take care of our garden to make it grow delicious vegetables in autumn. Also, whenever we go to a local garden at a park, we would also find answers to our questions of what the plants are called and why they're here and why they're called that on earth. I brought the subject up, because that's my sister in the picture coming out from a tree that was shaped like an umbrella or shelter rather. With AnswerGarden, it can be easier for us to ask questions and then we receive the answers immediately, but in actual gardens or any other place in life, we ask questions that take time for us to receive answers to, but they will be answered to us eventually.

Formal on Google

I've never knew that you could form a survey or quiz online, a lot of times, I thought I had to write a survey or quiz on Microsoft Word. Like Google Docs, I've never actually experienced Google Forms before either. The only thing hard about forming a quiz or survey is to come up with questions to let the test taker answer and to see if they're correct on them. However, with this, since the required theme for this assignment is form a quiz for the beginning of a school year, it got me thinking of questions that children would love to answer. They're not right or wrong answers, it's just a survey of getting to know the students before starting the school year. It's really formal, as well as wearing Sunday Best attire for either attending a religious meeting or going on a date with the person of your dreams. I hope this quiz I made is appropriate for both children and parents as part of a syllabus.

Let it Pad On

I've never experienced Padlet in my entire life. I've heard of Bulletin Boards verbally, but not exactly used online. I was a bit confused on how to use the technical gadgets in Padlet, but with a little bit of assistance from some of my supportive family members, that got me fluent, but not all the way fluent with Padlet. Anyway, a subject that I started talking about on is autism. Since I'm autistic myself, I know just some of the experience of being autistic, the only things that I don't always know about autism is the different medications and treatments that everyone does to autistic people. I know what it's like to have the autistic perspective though. As you can see in the picture, that's me when I accomplished my goal of earning all 132 merit badges in the Boy Scouts of America program. For six years of working on these merit badges, it proved on CNN that people with autism can do a lot of things in life, they just need a little time and effort to accomplish their goals and then they'll become who they are eventually. Hopefully, eventually, the Bulletin Board on Padlet will give you the big picture.

Flying to Education

I'm really aware that my family and I make fliers for special purposes and occasions whenever it comes to a fun activity that we're doing or even making fliers to entice people to come over, but not to tempt them to come, it's just an activity that they'll be happy to attend and learn a lot of things in it. I've never actually came up with a flier for an education, but when I was a Cubmaster with the Cub Scouts, I usually make fliers and hang them on the front doors of the house where each Cub Scout lives only on the day for the activity, because that will get them on going to the activity and won't have to worry about scheduling. Anyway, I was looking at examples of fliers on the Canvas site and noticed that some of them are considered a fun activity for school. So I came up with a fun activity that I would plan to use in my future classroom. I hope it's the best one and appropriate for children.

Pressing On Me

This is too soon to say, but I have lots to do and I'm still stressed out that I'm starting work at Wal-Mart the next day. Anyway, this assignment that I worked on was Prezi. I haven't done anything on this website before either. I usually have just been using PowerPoint with my presentation. It was kind of hard for logging on it, because it thought that my email address wasn't educational for this site. With a little bit of assistance, I finally got to a blank presentation page that would let me write a topic and then present it. It's been pressing on me that with this type of presentation, it's really cool of how it rotates and changes screens by just motion instead of slide change. It was really hard for me to get used to, but I think I've gotten the hang of it.

Bird of the Story

I'm still trying to get a lot of these assignments over with before the semester ends next week. I'm so stressed out about it. I still have a lot to do for it. Anyway, this assignment I worked on was Storybird. I like to write stories and try to write them with my own ideas, without plagiarizing. I've never actually heard of that website in my life. When I first tried it a few weeks ago, I thought that I could write my own stories on it. And also make illustrations. Unfortunately, I was never allowed to make art pictures of my own, I had to choose from what Storybird I had. I never wanted to do that, to be honest, because it made me feel like a plagiarist with someone else's artwork. I always preferred to become both an author and illustrator, like Chris Van Allsburg, just so that it would feel like I'm using my own artwork and writing than using someone else's. With this picture I've put on here, it's just showing a metaphor of Storybird. This true story of this picture are my younger siblings with those bird trainers right behind them. That was the time when we went to a Bird Festival and my younger sister won $100 for her drawing at age FOUR! That's crazy, huh? That tells me that someday, my younger sister will also want to become an author and illustrator. I just wish there was a website that had story writing and picture illustrating with it so it can teach me to become a professional author and illustrator. P.S. the story that I wrote about on storybird, is a children's story about animal friends and their names and personalities to help children learn about animals and how they can learn about names.

This information is Graphic

It might be too soon to say another thing, but I'm under a lot of stress of getting a lot of assignments done before the end of the semester. I barely got hired for working at Wal-Mart and have went through the orientation. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to handle it throughout the rest of the week, before every assignment is due. Especially this Saturday when all of the assignments for elementary technology are due including this. Anyway, this assignment I worked on is the Infographics. I wasn't quire sure how I was supposed to learn the technique from the  rubric of the assignment, especially when it comes to figuring out how to learn from the infographic and then teach it at the same time. This infographic that I created is a Venn Diagram that could teach children about joining in one or more groups of a subject. For example, the topic that I chose to analyze on is the games of Sports. And I made multiples of 1 through 13. It was really hard to get all the numbers in the different areas of the Venn diagram, but I figured it out on my own but visualizing it and making sure the numbers are positioned just right with the groups. That's also teaching children about Venn diagrams when they're learning about mathematics. I'm still not sure if this is what the rubric of the assignment has told me to do, but I hope that it's a good way of learning the picture and teaching it to children. This was taken on the Venngage website.

This is "e"mazing!

It's been quite a while for me to talk about another educational site I've learned to use, because I was busy with other classes. For example, I barely finished my Nutrition class and I'm still looking forward to eating healthy and losing a lot of weight. Anyway, the site that I learned to use for education was eMaze. I've never actually done anything like that before. As well as I've just learned about writing an educational presentation on Google Docs. As a matter of fact, I wasn't quite sure what kind of educational subject I should use as a way I could teach children about in school. But it came up to me that I should write the "e"Mazing subject on pronouns. I started learning about it myself and then it just came to me that it really is one of the best subjects in the Language Arts Core. It would also teach children that with eMaze, they can learn to do amazing things, like this picture of me when I first learned how to ride a bicycle and be in a kids parade in Mt. Pleasant of Sanpete County on the 4th of July. I'm not sure that the way I'm showing you is going to work, but I'm sure that it will be a good lesson to learn for everybody, whenever they may have learned it already or they may have forgotten all about it.

Slide into Education

I'm still not much of an online working sort of person. I usually do a lot of my work on a Word Document, PowerPoint, and Paint. I never usually learned how to use Google Docs. I never really thought that it would be handy and required to use to teach an elementary class. I've never used Google Slides before. I usually make presentations on PowerPoint, because I've been taught to use that all my life. Just like with the Google Docs assignment, I usually do typing on a Word Document. I'm just going to have to say that even adults have to slide into education. Just so that they can be able to teach children the same basics they've been taught. And also to encourage children to find the skills that they have. For example, this picture I have is my youngest sister with the former mayor of South Jordan. She made that adorable pinewood derby car to enter in the race in the Open Class competition at Country Festival. My sister won the Adorable Car award in Pinewood Derby and got to be in the picture with the mayor. That helps children to learn that they can slide into education so they can gain skills and talents of their own and use their contributions in the coming time. I made this educating presentation that I plan to use in my future classroom.
