The beginning of the semester is here, and its time to get back into the grove of things and get to know one another before we take on the semester together. We were assigned a digital tool to create an about me project to present to our classmates. I thought this was a great opportunity to get to know a little bit about each other and how to use different types of digital sites that we can use in our classrooms one day. By doing this activity we were able to learn the background of each student in our class, how old they are, where they grew up, what nationality they are and so much more. I created my digital me project using glogster and introduced myself to the class. I provided information about me, my nationality and what I look forward to learning and teaching in Social Studies Methods. I personally think glogster is a great tool to use in the classroom if you are trying to create a poster on material you may have learned on a certain topic. Glogster allows you to upload words, pictures, videos and links. It is quick and easy to use and I think students will have no problem navigating the site if used in their classroom one day. There were many other useful digital sites that I was introduced to as well, Go Animate, Tagul, Thinglink, Pintrest and many others. This project got us started incorporating technology into learning right away. I think it is a great way to start off the semester and get to know our peers. I am excited to use these sites and tools in my very own classroom one day.
