multimedia poster. In Glogster, you can add text, audio, images and videos. It can also

be used for lessons in any kind of educational topic. It is easy to make and informative.

In fact, it is practical for parents to be inform using a multimedia because everything is

me learned new ideas of how I can make lessons. In addition, using this tool can help

my future students learn in new ways and it can also keep them motivated and

concentrated on the lesson.

used Google form to make a math quiz for 1st graders. Its easy and convenient to

make because you are able to make it multiple choice or short answer. I would use

google form to create surveys for parents, it is used best for older children or adults.

Word cloud is a set of important words used to create an image. We used

Tagxedo as a tool to make a word cloud. In Tagxedo, you can add words, change

colors, text, fonts and arrange the words horizontally or vertically. In fact, Tagxedo is

used better with Moxilla Firefox browser. In my future class I would use Tagxedo it is

easy and fun to make and it is also educational for students.
