Drawing Tool Graphic



Today in class we used a Drawing Tool Graphic.  I used Goodle Docs to create my graphic for this exercise.  I used a flow chart to show how I used this tool to create my graphics.  You can view this by going to my Frequently Used Links.

The ISTE NETS T standard used for this assignment would be #2.  Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments.  I utilized parts A and C in order to meet these standards.  This allowed me to show how I use Google Docs in order to make a flow chart to show the process used to perform this activity.  Students should be able to effectively use this flow chart as a guide to perform the same task.

Poll Anywhere

Created a new tool to create polls to be used for class.  http://www.polleverywhere.com/

Screen Capture using Jing

Here is a link to the image I captured using Jing in class today.  http://screencast.com/t/NTJmYjk0YzQt
The ISTE NETS Standard used for this exercise was #2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments

Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers:

a. design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.

By using this tool I was able to use a picture to associate with a key signature for a piece of music.  There is one sharp (#) in this piece which makes this key signature the key of G because there is only one sharp in this picture.
