Journal 4

The classroom tool I choose was Kahoot!. I choose this tool because it is kid-friendly and easy to use. After doing more research in the program I found it to be very compliant with ADA and others. It is designed for all ages but I have to be extra careful with children under 12. 

As far as my own AUP, I have a very general and child-friendly one. It basically outlines using the technology appropriately and not using sites that are not on their symbaloo. This program is on their symbaloo so it is covered in my AUP.  I do not have any issues with the future use of Kahoot!.

Journal 5

  • What was a technical problem you had to plan for when crafting your presentation?
    • When I was crafting my presentation, one technical problem that I planned for was not putting too much on a slide so it would not take to long to upload during the presentation. 
  • How did you plan for it? What is your favorite thing about the technology resource that you presented on?
    • My favorite part of this presentation was actually almost all parts. I liked diving deep into the program and it helped me learn so much more about what the program can do...even more, than I originally thought. I also was interested in the cost part because iI thought it was free. But there is more to it. I, of course, liked the creative piece to this as well.

  • What is your least favorite thing? Elaborate on both parts.
    • My least favorite part of this presentation was related it back how it is used on an LMS platform. I wasn't sure what that was asking? Like can it be played in the Classroom? That was the only confusing part to me. 
  • What takeaways from your presentation do you have? 

      • What went really well?
        • I felt like I was very prepared for this presentation. I really put a lot of work and time into the slides and I like to make it appealing to the eyes as well. I think it is visually appealing.
      • What went really bad?
        • I am not sure anything went really bad. I think I could have put more information in my presentation. Maybe make the slides more bullets. 
      • What changes will you make for next time?
        • I would make the slides shorter and more simplified about the information. 
      • What did someone else do that you really enjoyed?
        • I really likes how Joslyn went into detail about the UDL and ADA. I copied the rights but did not show examples. 
      • How can you improve on your delivery of information to best serve your users?
        • I think it depends on who is the audience. If I were delivering this to teachers, more of my slides would be why to use this app and how as opposed to the policies.
