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.
