Reflection:
I used photostory for a presentation project for my SPED practicum. I thought that it was different from the other presentations because I was able to incorporate music and make it a mini movie. I think that this will be an awesome tool for the beginning and end of the year in the classroom. Parents and students will be able to see what has been done in the class and will also know what to expect. Instead of explaining to parents on Parents Night what the students have been doing in the class; they will be able to watch it in the photostory.

Reflection:
The Jeopardy Games were absolutely fun in the classroom. I used this tool in one of practicum classes for one of my mini lessons. It was used as a review for some of the math unit objectives for 5th graders. They were thrilled with the game because it was fun and interactive. I believe that this is a great tool to incorporate in the classroom because it is educational and fun at the same time.

Reflection: Wordle is a wonderful tool to use when introducing a unit to the class. This particular wordle names all the objectives that were taught during my time at my practicum. It is perfect and fun word cloud to give to students and their parents so they know what they are learning in the classroom.
