Google Drawing Tool
https://docs1.google.com/drawings/edit?id=1O6i883t0PK73_Aj1qllu9nSZnlIln-IWiMtd8e5vB0o&hl=en
I really dont use drawing tools too often. The only other one I have used is paint. I know my students at school really like using paint. I would use the standard two for this activity. Teacher engages technology and students use it in the classroom. Im not sure my students could use the google drawing tool, but I could be wrong. I know they use paint so I guess one tool is better than none at all.

Glogster
http://krichards.glogster.com/glog/... Here is the link to my glogster. A glog is a social network to connect with people. This is a very fun thing to use. You can also design it how you like and upload all kinds of things. It reminds me alot of facebook and im sure it will be catching on soon. Im not real sure I could use this in my classroom because of the grader I teach. The upper grades, especially middle and high school kids could use this. I think they would really enjoy setting one up of their own. It meets standard 2 which focuses on bringing the technology into the classroom and untilizing it. The only problem I found was that my music didnt download that fast, but im sure that has something to do my internet. My video popped right up, but it took about 4 minutes for my music to appear in the box. I think it is very self explainatory and very user friendly.
Self Portrait
I really didnt have any trouble. I thought it was actually a good change a pace. They maybe could add a little more to their selections, but other than that, I didnt have any problems. I created my good looking self-portrait at http://www.picassohead.com/create.html.

After Learning Styles Test
Well I guess I was right on. I am a kinesthetic learner scoring 7 in that category, which was followed by 4 for aural, 3 for read/write, and 2 for visual. I definitely knew I wasnt a visual learner I have never been and probably never will be. I like to see a demonstration and then be able to perform it.
It is really important at the grade level I teach to be the type of learner I am. We do alot of hands on activities especially in math. We do some in reading but it is hard. Math is where we do our hands on learning. We just adopted a new math series this year and I really like it. I think the students are actually enjoying math because they are so involved.

Learning Styles Guess
I havent had alot of experience with learning styles. I do remember talking about it in one of my college classes but im not sure which one it was. I do know we didnt talk about for a long time. So I thought I would be a kinesthetic learner, aural learner and then read/write. I think kinesthetic first because I learn better when I can complete task that has been shown to me right there. I am a hands on learner. Well I guess I will take the test and find out for sure.
Snipping Tool
I will be using this to reinforce math concepts that I have taught or they have already learned.
Voice Thread
I have never used voice thread until this activity. I thought looking and exploring the voice thread was interesting. I actually knew one of the people that created a thread. Her husband teaches at my local high school. I think it is a good way to find out and actually see who you are in class with exspecially when we are taking most of our classes online because of our busy lives. I think you could also use it with older kids and they could learn about all of their classmates.
I would say it meets standard number 2 which is design and develop digital-age learning experiences and assessments. With this tool you can teach your students to use it and interact and learn about each other. With this you could even talk to other students throughout the country or around the world. This is a very exciting tool to learn to use.
