How to make an audio QR Code.
This video was very interesting to me. I have always wondered how the information got onto the QR barcode that you scan. The first time I ever used this app was in Ms. Vitulli's art class at the art museum. This video seemed very helpful not only for reading books to children but also recording any assignments and important information that is going on in the classroom that the parents can be aware of. This was very helpful to me.

iPad in the Reading Center
This video was would be very useful in reading centers. It looks very engaging to students. I also believe it helps the with fluency as well. I thought it was very neat how they could go back and check to see if they got all the words correct that they have read.

Poplet as a Center
Poplet seems like a very good program all the way around. Not only does it focus on teaching students what they have learned but also reading and writing skills. It also teaches them how to use a camera and get the right lighting on the pictures. I was really surprised that k-5 students were doing this type of project! AMAZING!!

Alabama Virtual Library

Alabama Virtual library is a very useful for reading centers. It was a great way for students to learn reading and writing skills and learn different ways to show what they were learning. This is amazing that Kindergarten students are able to use this website like this!

Mrs. Shirley’s 1st Grade Class How to use and build a Board in DE for a Project Based Lesson

Board Builder on discovery education is a very neat idea for projects. To me it takes the place of your typical posterboard projects. This seems like a fun and engaging project. I went on the discovery education website and this is a very resourceful site.

We All Become Learners

This was a great video that Dr. Strange conducted. I learned that we all are learning not just teachers teaching students but students teaching teachers. It all is a learning process for everyone. I also believe that students feel more involved and engaged when they get a chance to show you something new.
