Digital Story

I have previously used Windows Movie Maker so iMovie was a new tool for me. I enjoyed using the tool and found it fairly easy to navigate once I got familiar with the program. I think this would be a really effective tool to use in the classroom for a variety of reasons. If anything, digital stories could peak the interest of students in the classroom. I also think it would be really enjoyable to make these for fields trips for students to show to their parents. I believe I will definitely use this tool in the future.

Excel Activity

Out of all the assignments, I believe I learned the most from the excel assignment. Excel has been a frustrating program for me to use in the past so this activity taught me a lot. I really liked learning how to use the formulas to check the students work. The format is easy to use for younger students so I think this will be beneficial to my classroom.

I also enjoyed searching the google templates. I really liked where forms could be used with parents and students and the results could be directly sent into the teachers email. I also like the accessibility of the various grade books.
