Through this training program I have learned a great deal about different tools I didn't even know existed before. One of my favorites was Bookr. I will definitely use it with the students on one of their up coming science projects. I can give them a couple of different options on how to present the project - poster, PowerPoint, Bookr, etc. I know the students will love the options and the ability to show the class what they have created!
When I looked back at my blogs one other resource that really popped out with Brainpop. Because I was new to teaching when I started this I had never used it before, but it is now something I use in my class on a weekly basis. It is odd to me that it was something I'd never even heard about a few months ago.
Being brand new to teaching I have implemented many of these tools along the way and I can't really say that my class has gone through a transformation because of the training, but I am excited to continue to try new tools all the time. I look forward to being able to look back at my blog and incorporate new and different tools this semester and next year.
Wonderful job! I look forward to seeing what you use in your classroom.
