Prior to doing this project and hearing the class presentations, I had little to know understanding of most of the definitions. The App Smash Presentations were incredibly informing, both on the specific definitions we were asked to define and on the apps that were used to present the information. After seeing the presentations, I of course reflected on our own project and feel it would have been a good idea to include more examples in the presentation.
Ashley and Ainsley's (apologies for any misspellings), project used terrific examples. The lens through which they did their presentation was fun and informative. Many of the apps used by presenters (save the Google and Camera apps) were apps I had never used and or even heard of.
As mentioned during our presentation today, I am the Resource teacher for our school. Scheduling in a small school with a teaching staff of 6 and a half people, can be a logistical nightmare and I have had to take on a Resource role. Working one on one with students who struggle has been both a test of my patience and incredibly rewarding by times. I have an ongoing list of specific apps that I plan on using with specific kids. Technology is an excellent way to engage learners and facilitate learning.
