This was a very busy week in the classroom. On Tuesday my group, TimeToast, presented our Web 2.0 along with Google Forms. We also spent a decent amount of time working with the Interactive White Boards and our flip charts, as well as learn about Animoto.
The presentation was not as great as I would have liked and came across fairly bland. As a group we did not do a great job splitting the information up and presenting to the class in a manner that showed all of our competence with the software. We could have prepared much better, especially because TimeToast will be especially useful with subjects like history.
I am excited about the interactive white board flip charts. The Promethean board looks to be a very useful means of teaching in the classroom. Whether it be for lecture or interactive activity it is definitely something I wish I had had in the classroom as a student. The flip chart I'm working on deals with the Great Depression and the cultural and economic effects it had on the American people. I'm excited to work on it and with the ActivInspire software.
Last but not least we worked with Animoto on Thursday which was actually quite fun. The 30 second videos aren't bad and it doesn't cost too much to upgrade to have more opportunities with it. Here is the video I made in class Thursday:
