Thing 16: PhotoPeach and Final Evaluation

PhotoPeach is a great and easy to use tool for personal use and in the classroom. I have compiled some pictures of my family and I over the summer and turned them into a short video. PhotoPeach lets you download photos put them in any order you want, add music, words and a tittle. Teachers could use this in many way in there classroom. Teachers can compile pictures of her students thought out the year and create a  video to share with all the parents at the end of the year. Students could also use this as a presentation tool, to present projects in class.

Final Evaluation

1. What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?

My favorite thing was actually creating my blog. I had never thought about having one or even knew how to set one up but i am very glad i actually got to do it. I also really enjoyed exploring all of the web 2.0 tools. So many of them can be incorporated into the classroom to integrate technology.

 

2. How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?

This project has really strengthened the goal of - viewing problems as challenges. Many of these "things" were very time consuming and hard to figure out. I ended up completing all of the tasks successfully.

 

3. Were there any take-a-ways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?

I have learned so much by exploring all of these technology tools. I really enjoyed learning how all of the tools can be used in the classroom. I fell so much more comfortable using technology now.

4. What could I do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?

Some of the links on this program could be fixed in order to improve this program. I found it very frustrating when i clicked on a link to find out how to do something and it didn't work properly.
