This week, we were required to use Glogster, Animoto, and a free choice to do one of our assignments. The assignment was very time consuming, and I have to admit that while I was doing it, I did not appreciate the things that I was learning. I found out afterwards, that I really liked using the resources. It is amazing the things that one can do with technology. Glogster was a great tool to make a page to showcase whatever topic that you like. I liked how it had pictures, links, and videos that you could use. It was really simple to use. Animoto was fun as well. The video was very easy to put together and I can see myself using this with the students in my class. I created two Fakebook pages. That was fun as well. I really enjoyed getting to post the things that they possibly would say on Facebook if they had a chance. Overall, I learned a lot from this one assignment. I am going to take some of the things that I learned from this assignment and show it to my fellow teachers.

I also found this assignment to be quite time consuming; however, I learned some useful skills for my classroom.
