PLE week 4

I liked learning this week about how to embed things into another website for access and to save space on your website. I also think that was the hardest thing for me. It wasn't hard to do but it was difficult to understand how embedding something works or what it does exactly and I'm the type of person who likes to understand things like that.
I created a wiki this week and I'm still trying to figure out how to get the lay out of the page the way I want it to be. That might also be one of the tougher things from this week. Here is a link to my wiki page. I think that this tool will be really helpful in the future because I hope to be able to post things to it for my classes that my students can access. I also think that the sharing on Google Docs will be really helpful for my students when they want to access a syllabus or project assignment. I hope that I will be able to implement these tools in my classes so that my students can have greater resources available to them to help them learn.

Storyboards

These are my storyboards for my video on German Modal verbs. This video will serve as an example for my students as they are assigned to create their own video in German.

PLE week #2

I will make a video as a demonstration of Modal Verbs and what my students should do to create their own video of their use of modal verbs. I will use still images of myself at the grocery store shopping for foods that I want to eat. During the narration of these pictures, the text of the narration will be shown at the bottom of the screen with key verbs being underlined. At the end of the video I will list verbs that the students could use in their own videos. If I were using this video in class I would also hand this list out to the students. The Utah Core Curriculum has ability standards the students should reach. This video will comply with Beginning Standards 2
