PE2_Sketchfu


Sketchfu  is an online tool that you can use to draw and animations. You can share your drawings with other members. It is a fun tool but with a mouse or even with a drawing pad it's not that easy to make drawings. I think that I need more practice.

I sign up to this tool, I think this tool is very useful for educators and students. With this tool you can organize and share websites with your students.You can organized all your teaching resources in one place and you can keep communication with your students. This tool is very easy to use. Comparing this tool with iGoogle, Symbaloo EDU is more simple and it have more bright colors too. I love this application and I know I will be using from now.

PE1_Flash

This week I start viewing the Flash tutorials in Lynda.com. This is a software from Adobe Systems. With this software you can do websites and animations. Flash is also used in advertisement and games. The tutorial have 24 parts with 8 to 10 videos in each part. By this week I finish the first 3 parts. With every video that I watch, I have to practice the things that the tutorial teach me. This program is very challenging and a little difficult, I know that I have to practice a lot, but I will be learning it soon!!

Kidopo is an online coloring application where kids can color online coloring books. There are many coloring pages to choose from like, cars, animals, cartoons, food, music, nature, seasons and a lot more.  This is a very cool tool for kids. I also have printables, which you can use in the classroom. It includes coloring sheets, bookmarks, awards, certificates, writing paper, room decorations and stickers. There are games, videos and a craft section. The craft section include step by step tutorial on how to do the crafts.

Kidopo help primary students practice mouse manipulation and a good way for you to gauge where their fine motor skills are. This website include video games: Arcade games, brain games, card and board games, Dora games girls games, math games, memory games, puzzle games, science games, sport games, word games, Sponge bob games and Holiday games.  This games are fun for kids.

I think this a very fun and educational tool to use in the classroom, especially for elementary school kids. Kidopo makes kids happier!
