Snipping Tool


I chose to snip these two images because I have learned a lot about them in the last few months. The Scholastic website I learned has a variety of resources from book lists and teacher resources and classroom ideas. I only remembered Scholastic for the little book order forms you would get in class and books I had. Then, for a class last semester I had to use this site for a project and realized the plethora of resources it had available to teachers.
The voicethread snip is because I am really excited about this both as a resource and a teaching tool. I am overwhelmed by the many ways I can use this as a resource for learning centers or a way to communicate with students or other persons. I am also excited because I had no idea that this communication device existed prior to today.
And I have to say I didn't know this Snip It tool existed and now that I do I am pretty excited about it and plan to use it more often. :)

As for the technology standards, I would say that this activity best fits under Standard 3- Model Digital Age Work and Learning, bullet a- demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. This is because this activity allows students to discover new technology to utilize and to demonstrate how they use that knowledge. This activity could also fall under technology standard 2- Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessments, bullet d- provide multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching. This is because the activity would make a great formative assessment to allows students to show what they learned. The activity also fits under technology standard 1- Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity, bullet c- promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes. This is because this activity is both reflective and creative because students have to reflect on knowledge gained and creativity when snipping.
