Week 4

I actually feel comfortable with this material. I have used photostory 3 to create many class projects, family anniversary slide shows, class musical big books. I have not seen animoto before and when I was exploring with it I didn't like how it constantly tried to get you to purchase the professional version....but they have to make money somehow! I liked learning how to customize my Discovery streaming page as well as the teacher options for lessons, but found it frustrating that it was organized by title and not grade levels. That can be very time consuming for those of us in younger grades. I love teacher tube! I will be using an alphabet video with my class and the one about slope is very entertaining and it sticks in your head! I wish I could use that in my Kinder class but it is a little above them. I think the clips on positive discipline will be a good reference this next year when I find that I need more tools in my bag. I did not like the advertisements before each video. I think if I hear the one about the lady and her marathon again, I could finish it for her. But overall, I really liked this lesson. :)
