I'm using my summer to create, explore and learn new things. One thing that I am working on is a series of
online courses for our teachers for the next school year. This course is designed to provide some foundational understanding of the why behind tech in teaching and learning. I am also participating in the
Thinglink Teacher Challenge, so I chose to create my introduction to the course using
Thinglink. This is a bit of a mashup. I used
Canva as my main canvas for creating my infographic. As I started working, I realised that I couldn't find the copyright friendly images I needed, so I created my own using
Google Drawings.
(Note to readers, if you create something that you don't plan on using to make money, consider using a Creative Commons license so that other teachers may use, with attribution, to build other great tools that they too, can share.)
When I started looking for short and sweet introductory videos to link to my image, I found some really nice explanations that teachers had created (and shared) using
Powtoon. I will be creating another class on creating a Tech Tool Box. It's great to have tools like Thinglink, Canva, Google Draw and Powtoon in my Tool Box.
So here is a preview of one of my upcoming classes.
