Today, after watching a few soccer games, I spent a lot of time researching sites that would give me insight on some of the best web apps, tools, and other resources. I found some great websites from many blog entries on Edutopia. I also used Google as a tool to search some sites and find great resources for technology. There's so much out there, it's hart to look at it all. What matters is that we know that it's there for us to use when we need it.
The webinar on Flipped Classrooms was a great eye opener. I enjoyed listening and having questions that I had in my mind answered. I learned that it's important to give the students different options to choose from when giving them the assignment to view a video of some sort. It's just like giving them a rubric for a project. They're free to do it the way they'd like as long as they follow a rubric.
The lesson that I would like to use is something along the lines of character traits and characteristics. I would like the students to make a video using Animoto, which is an onine video making tool. It is very easy to use. Some of the downsides of this web app is that it only allows 30 seconds for free and it requires an account. Other than that, it's a great tool.
