Christopher Columbus Timeline

I created a timeline of Christopher Columbus’s life within the Tiki-Toki website. I really enjoyed using the Tiki-Toki website and I will for sure use it within my own classroom in the future. It was super easy to use and gave an overall exciting look that I believe would be enjoyed by the students who are watching it. In the past I have created timelines on paper and it took quite some time to complete that project. By using Tiki-Toki to create an online timeline, it will save a lot of time and give it more of an organized and desirable look.
In my future classroom I will be able to teach my students how to use the Tiki-Toki website and give them the option of using this website to create a timeline for a project. Examples of projects that my students could complete using Tiki-Toki include: learning about an important person in history and creating a timeline of their life, creating a timeline of the past presidents of the United States, or creating a timeline important events in the U.S. Teaching my students how to use Tiki-Toki will not only help them with the project they will be completing but also give them more knowledge on how they can complete projects in the future.

The Parts of Speech

I decided to create a presentation explaining the Parts of Speech using eMaze. Each slide explains the nine parts of speech: Noun, Pronoun, Verb, Adjective, Article, Adverb, Preposition, Conjunction and Interjection. I was able to find videos created by Schoolhouse Rock that describe each part of speech and give my students a way to help them remember that part of speech. I loved learning how to create a presentation through eMaze and I will for sure be using this tool in my future classroom. I will be able to use eMaze within my own classroom to present certain material to my students in a fun way that will get them more involved and engaged in learning. I will also be able to teach my own students how to use eMaze and give them the opportunity to create their own projects in eMaze and present them in front of the class. By teaching my students about eMaze they will be able to express their own creativity and expand their minds in using this tool as well as be able to use it in future schooling.

Whoooooo loves to read?

I decided to create a flyer to inform my students and their parents about a class read-a-thon that is coming up and to engage my students in reading and comprehending books that they enjoy. I created the flyer within Microsoft Word and was able to understand how to use many of the tools to make the flyer more appealing to my students. Creating this flyer was one the most enjoyable projects I have completed because it allowed me to use my creativity and create what I felt would be best for an elementary school class. By understanding more about the tools in Microsoft Word, I will be able to teach my own students how to use this tool both in the elementary school setting and in the future.

Our Solar System

      I decided to create an infographic about our Solar System. It includes a picture and color of each planet in our Solar System as well as interesting facts about each planet. I also included an acronym within the infographic to help my students remember the order in which the planets go in. I enjoyed creating this infographic and learned a lot about how to use this tool within my own classroom. I will be able to use the infographics website in my own class by creating projects and information guides to help my students learn in a fun way. My students will be able to use this tool by having the option of creating an infographic for one of their projects. This will allow the students that do not enjoy writing to bring out their creativity and have fun with the project.
