Today in tech class, we researched a plethora of tools you can integrate into the classroom. I went in depth with a program called Easel.ly, that allows you to create infographics! An infographic is a visual that can help students display information. Whether it be a graph, Venn Diagram or display, I would absolutely use this tool in the classroom! I think it could be interesting to use in assignments where students need to create advertisements, or in a presentation for a persuasive writing assignment. For me, I was able to use an infographic to present my ideas for my Genius Hour project! My Venn Diagram outlines what I believe are the 3 crucial aspects of incorporating feelings of camp into the classroom. I believe that the three sections: Community, Engagement and Teamwork overlap to create an environment in the classroom that reflects the values and feelings of camp. I want to keep exploring the ways in which they overlap and how this diagram can be reflected in classroom practices.
For more information, check out this video on how to create an infographic using Easel.ly.
Google Forms is an amazing tool for both students and teachers to use! Teachers can easily embed assessments and links to further info. It allows students to work at their own speed with a text, video and report their findings and observations. Here is an example of a quiz I created that was based on a reading of The Kissing Hand.
