Week 2

For week 2, Mr. Jenkins assigned the class to each attach a blank piece of paper on our backs. Students were expected to write one adjective about their classmate. A nice objective!  Basically, this was the perfect ice breaker activity to mingle with my classmates. The tricky part, I don't know what my classmates are saying about me, until I was able to look at the paper attached to my back. Overall, I loved this activity because it builds self-esteem and it's a fun way to get to know my peers!

Week 1

For week 1, our first assignment was to create a timeline of all the important events that occurred in my life. Mr. Jenkins introduced the class to a site called teach_nology.com, where we created our timeline. After completing our timeline online, we had to print it & present it to the whole class.
This assignment was helpful to me as  a future a future teacher because students have fun learning when they are working with technology. This is the perfect assignment for teacher's to get to know their students and have a little understanding of their background.
Other assignments that can be used for this site is a history project. A student can create a timeline of presidents or a timeline of all the wars the took place. Overall, I would rate this software a 10 because it was easy to use & the settings were simple. In other words, it was easy to create a timeline with just a click here and there.
