PhotoPeach

Here is another tech tool that I had the chance to explore.  It is called Photo Peach and it is very similar to Animoto.  It takes your photos and displays them in creative ways.  I took screen shots using Jing of the tech examples I have created over the last year, and saved them on the Photo Peach sight.  Then I was able to place the photos in the order that I wanted, and labeled each photo according to which tech tool I used.  The whole display was then set to music.

Penzu and ReciteThis

I tried out a few of the 25 Digital Tools suggested in the reading from my Tech-infused Classroom course that I am taking this summer.  I'd like to work my way through the list, but for now, here are two tech tools I tried.

Penzu

This tool would work well to record reflections on work, or just to take notes.  It's limited on the free choices for fonts, and colors.

Inside my journal is text regarding the tech class, and a screenshot of the masthead.

A screenshot of a journal entree regarding the differences between the old and new version of Penzu.  I also used the tools within Jing to add arrows and text boxes.

ReciteThis

Fun web site to create quotes.  This tool creatively arranges text, such as quotes, into pictures.  I didn't count how many images they have, but it seems a little limited.  I wasn't able to change the size or style of font either. This one says, "Tech-infused classroom rocks!"

Tech-infused Classroom Greeting

Just a quick hello to my fellow classmates enrolled in the Tech-infused Classroom.

I learned so much last year that I just had to come back for some more tech tips, and deep thinking this year.  I do have to admit that if I don't practice what I've learned, it tends to slip away.  So I'm glad to be enrolled in this class as a refresher of the skills I developed last year, and I hope to add a few new ideas to my repertoire.
