Using iMovie and the Alabama Virtual Library in Kindergarten was divided into two parts. First Ms. Bennett talked about how impressed she was with kindergartners using iMovie trailer. The kindergartners at Gulf Shores Elementary uses the same iMovie that college students are using. Also, she talked about how students are eager to edit their work before the teacher publishes it. Ms. Davis mentioned that Alabama Virtual Library is free and that you can sign up the public library. Alabama Virtual Library is used for research.

When watching We All Become Learners, Ms. Bennett talks about how much of a learner teachers can be. She told a story about how a student taught her how to use Padlet. Students are not the only learners.

Some of the videos that I viewed talked about how students are enthusiastic to use technology. When using technology, the students are excited about their work. One of my main weakness is the lack of knowledge on how to coordinate a project based lesson for students. In the next year in a half I plan on watching tons of videos about project based learning and other different technologies that I am unfamiliar with. Also, I plan on searching on YouTube different videos from Gulf Shores Elementary teachers because they have a lot of essential information about PBL. One of my strengths is that I am prepared to be a lifetime learner. I am very self-assured that as I continue my learning in these areas I will be ready for the new generation with technology.

  1. "...before the teacher publish it." publishes, not publish

    " 'Earth We’re in it together . " Should be written like this: "“Earth We’re In It Together." Capitalize the words in a proper name, even if it is a song. You need a closing quotation mark. You have an extra space before the period.

    "... that he need a teacher that understand technology , team player and don’t lecture.…" Should be written in this way: ...that he needs teachers who understand technology, are team players, and don't lecture. I made 7 changes. did you find them all? Do you know why those changes must be made?

    "Dr. Rosado want teachers that …" Should be written in this way: "Dr. Rosado wants teachers who…"

    "... in a half , …" Remove space in front of the comma.

    "...and other different technology…" technologies, not technology

    You need to improve your writing.
