I am at the critical point where I need to really demonstrate what I have learned in my classes through some rather intense assignments. Well, I guess it is that time in the semester. Besides that, I could see this being a helpful and exciting tool for students that they could easily use. That would have to be handled by the teacher in the beginning and explained before the books are even created. If a student thinks that they have created their own masterpiece, they may continually ask about purchasing their book and other students could get caught up in it as well. One of my concerns was about the option to purchase the books and whether students would accidentally purchase them or not be able to let the idea go. Students could also create storybooks about their own backgrounds and share them with the class. This could work for many different subjects or people that are being discussed. They could create a wonderful storybook that compares the Athabascan and Navajo cultures and their environments, and it could incorporate some beautiful pictures. If I had longer than two weeks for my unit, the students could partner up and compare the two different cultural settings. I was thinking about how it would fit into the unit that I am creating for my other class. The classroom setting opens up many opportunities. A book could be created about a family or even as a gift to a mother if one was created about the life stages of her child. It could make great gifts for family members or friends. I think these books are wonderful to piece together a nice story about a trip or place that you've visited. I was not able to collaborate with a partner on my project so I ended up just creating one on my own. I feel as if I would have no problem discussing with my students how to create one themselves. I think those storybooks are the type of thing that gets easier the more you create. I just had to mess with a few of the settings, and I ended up learning more. Most of the questions I had were only because I was unfamiliar with creating a storybook online. There were only a couple of setbacks that I came across, but nothing was very difficult. I enjoyed becoming more familiar with it and playing around with different pictures and layouts. I found that this tool could have many applications. I have enjoyed learning everything that we have this semester, and I consider this class very important. I will also remember most of these for myself or projects that I want to create that way I will ensure that I will not forget how to use them and I have thought of many personal uses. As with every other tool that I have learned and used this semester, it will be something I will keep in mind in case I find the right moment or lesson in which it could be used. If I was in the middle of recording and messed up, I could just cancel and start the comment over, which I did a few times. I really enjoyed the ease with which the comments could be recorded and edited. These were just a couple ideas that came to me, but I am sure I would need to test out one or two before knowing for certain how well it would work in the classroom. The teacher could also post different significant historical pictures of people and have certain students take on that character and post a small voice comment discussing particular characteristics or happenings that relate. A teacher could use it for fun to get the students interested in the tool by posting random pictures and assigning certain people to view it and comment on what they get out of the photo. I think it would be slightly difficult to teach an actual lesson plan through this method, and it also costs money to continue using it though I believe it's relatively inexpensive, but it could be incorporated in other ways. It would be simple for them to navigate through, and it could be helpful for the teacher to find out a little more about what the students know. I think that students could have a fun time playing with this and scrolling through pictures. ![]()
