So far, I have been really impressed with Book Creator as a free tech tool. As a science teacher, I am always looking for unique ways that students can model their understanding. While hand-drawn posters can work to show students' understanding, this digital platform is much more fun, and user-friendly. After working through Book Creator to create an example artifact, I can see that it can be used to satisfy the checkboxes for transformation under the SAMR Model. With students able to redesign the task given to them with this create outlet. Again, while students can create hand-drawn artifacts to model their understanding, Book Creator reads aloud to students, creating a more independent sharing experience for a wide variety of learners. Students can also insert videos of themselves completing a task, with images and text to support their model. As students are able to create a unique artifact, and have control over their design, it also supports student standard 4a under ISTE. I came across this Tech tool while reading through a blog on Ed Tech 4 Beginners, written by Neil Jarrett on March 2, 2018. EdTech4Beginners Link.

After reading through some sources and listening to a podcast on digital collaboration in the classroom, I used Miro to jot my notes down. In the spirit of digital collaboration, it has been left open to edit. Please feel free to clink on the link below to access the resources I looked into, and add notes of your own in Miro!
Thanks! Kylie's Miro on Digital Collaboration I really enjoyed Canva as it gave me a creative outlet to share my takeaways from learning about guiding students as responsible digital citizens. The headlines summarize what I read from three different resources.
