Newsletter.
My Newsletter is centered around a specific topic, handwritting. It was created with the intent of sending home with the students as to encourage them to keep practicing what they are doing in class. It shows an example at the bottom and has a list of all the alphabet letters in case a student needs to see them in order to practice.

My Blog.
My Blog was created for this class to share with others what I have been learning and what I have enjoyed. I focused a lot on the problems that may have arised with each assignment and things I did or didn't like about each one. These were fun to write.

Kidspiration.
Kidspiration was a visual learning tool that students can use to create picture graphs, venn diagrams, story maps and other graphic organizers. This program really encourages students to think. For mine, I focused on the Food Pyramid.

Google Document Spreadsheets.
Google Spreadsheets is a tool used through Google Documents that a teacher can use to create a grade book. This is exactly what I did for this assignment. I created virtual students, created virtual grades for each one, and then used average, total, and grade functions to figure out the average grade, the students' totals, and what their letter grade would have been.

Google Forms.
Google Forms is a tool used for analyzing data and can be used for any grade in the classroom. It can track progress, manage information, explore ideas, study growth, and more. For this assignment, I created a 'First Day of School' survey form and filled it out as if I was the student. This complied a number of results for me to analyze.

My Movie.
My movie ties into the SchoolHouse Rock song 'Nouns'. It's a simple video that shows students examples of different types of nouns.

My Wiki.
My Wiki assignment was centered around reviews of two emerging technologies. I chose to focus on Dabbleboard and PodCasting. My Wiki goes in depth on each technology and breaks down how beneficial it would be to use these technologies in the classroom.
