Here is my poorly drawn google drawin...

Here is my poorly drawn google drawing. This is what my computer looks like. It consists of Facebook, my Outlook email, and then something for a class like blogger. That picture is my current facebook picture and not actual old women..haha.

I have used many drawin tools. I've used paint since my family got out first Windows 95 computer. I thought it was so cool that I didn't need paper and crayons/colored pencils to draw. I was a 7 year old really living the high life. All I did on our computer until about age 10 was use paint; I bet that made my parents really thrilled that they bought their kids such a fancy machine so Sarah could get on paint all day.

1. What ISTE NETS T standard would you consider this activity most closely matches and why?
   1a. promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness
   Why, because paint as a kid really allowed me to be creative and inventive.

Glogster

1. What is glog?
   Glog is more than just a blog; it's an interactive poster in which one can incorporate things such a video or audio.
2. How might you use a glog in your class?
   Instead of having a group create a poster about specific content like "The Country of Germany," I could have them create a glog where they could add their own audio, facts about the country, videos, etc.
3. What ISTE NETS T does the use of Glogster most likely correspond with in your opinion?
   3b. collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success
   and innovation; I feel that is corresponds with this ISTE NETS T standard because I can see using this as a group to educate the community.
4. What is the problem (if any) with this program?
   Students could come across inappropriate glogs.

The VARK Questionairre Result

Here were my results:

Your scores were:
Visual: 10
Aural: 7
Read/Write: 3
Kinesthetic: 8

It is no surprise that visual and kinesthetic were my two highest as I learn by seeing and actually doing!

Snipping tool

I didn't snip anything important, but still very cool and potentially useful.

The snipping tool is very neat. I used to use "print screen" then paste my screen in paint and crop it, but this is much easier. Here was a test using the snipping tool:

Voice Thread

I really liked voice thread. It took me like four takes until I was halfway satisfied with my thread. Definitely couldn't work for the radio! I had never used voice thread until the class, but I can definitely see it being useful. I really loved this and could see myself using voicemail in a similar manner if I teach young elementary students someday.

As far as ISTE standards go, I felt that several could easily be incorporated through Voice Thread. However for the above kindergarten activity link - 2a is probably the best fit:

design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
