Exit Slip 3/25

Today's lesson was about using simulations. I think that this was an interesting chapter and I liked the websites that were presented to us. I think that simulations are a good way to have students interacting in their work and doing things that wouldn't normally be done in the classroom. I got really distracted by the Science Simulations website, I like the way it was organized and I think it would be interesting for students to see some of the simulations that they presented.
Tiffany showed us a cool tool, simbaloo, that I thought was really neat. I like the idea of having a page for your class and bookmarking things for them. I think this would be a good way to have students learn information and contribute information to the whole class.
I really liked Kathleen's Contemporary issue that she talked about today, I liked that it was a global issue. It made us aware of the issues that go beyond the classroom ad the country and that some of these issues can affect our multicultural students.
We also learned how to use Garage Band today. I liked this program a lot and might try to convince my friend to let me use his Mac so I can use this program. I liked all of the sound effects and so I might need to change my topic so that I can add more of those.
We then talked in groups about our stop animation project that we will be working on next week. Ours is going to be funny and I am looking forward to learning a new computer skill.
In all it was a good class, we learned a lot, even a new word... Construtonism!
