A Week of New Information

The weeks are flying by and there is so much information to be learned about all the different bits of technology that we, as future teachers, will be able to incorporate in our classrooms.
Working on the infographic was a brand new experience for me.  I found the ease.ly website fairly easy to manipulate and add my content to, however, as the website is still in its BETA period there weren't a lot of options for graphics or fonts or backgrounds.  For a novice like me it was perfect for my first project.  I enjoyed creating the infographic and once it was completed I saw the usefulness of the tool and how it could be a resource for communicating with parents as well as a tool for students to present and share information they have learned on a topic; something a bit more jazzy than a traditional report.
The more I use these tools the more comfortable I am becoming with using them and creating different projects with them.  I am looking forward to becoming more tech savvy and more and more comfortable with not only creating but also editing and refining so my presentations look more professional.
Here's to another fast week filled with lots of new information.
