Lastly, this past week in Education 204 we have been presenting apps that educators can use in the classroom to engage students. Students were prompted to design and create presentations that illustrated their acquired knowledge from their chosen app. Students presenting their apps encouraged peer engagement and resourceful tools that interest students in their learning. The apps demonstrated differentiated instruction and data collecting for all students that educators can use in their future classrooms. Dr. Ikpeze wanted students to provide an overview of the easiness and usefulness of the app that demonstrated a lesson or a quick activity that engaged students, if possible. For example, my partner and I chose to present Educreations. Educreations is a unique interactive whiteboard and screencasting tool where educators and students can annotate, animate, record, and narrate nearly any content. This lesson for the class demonstrated the many tools and resources that students can use to benefit learning outcomes. The lesson connects to ISTE Standards 3 as a knowledge constructor for students. Standards 3 connects to what we are learning because students can construct and develop their knowledge of curriculum content. Additionally, the lesson connects to ISTE Standards 6: Creative communicator for students. Students have to verbally communicate their presentations and ideas to the entire class that aligns with the guidelines. One way that I can implement Educreations into the elementary classroom is to teach an English Language Arts class for students to record themselves repeating and listing vocabulary words from the unit. Thus, I can access the student’s understanding and knowledge in the content. Another way that I can implement Educreations into my classroom is by having students create their own stories for a social studies project regarding history. Thereafter, students will share their creations with the class in a large group.
