Tech Review Presentations...

For my tech review presentation, I decided to present the ReadWriteThink Timeline tool. Preparing for this presentation I was excited to tell my classmates about this tool. I think when a lot of people first saw my tool they did not think much of it.It was not until I explained why I chose that tool that they took another look at it. I think my explanation of the classroom idea is what changed their minds that it is in fact a good tool. I also think that when I explained that I chose it because it would be a good tool for younger students they understood why I liked the simplicity of the tool. Some things I would do differently would be to go into more detail about how it fits into 3 levels of the SAMR model. I also would want to maybe include one of my own timelines to show another example. One other thing would be to add in pictures to entertain my audience a little bit! I enjoyed learning about all the different tools that my classmates presented. These short presentations could be a huge success in a school. If one teacher from each grade researched a tool and then did a short presentation to the staff every few months, teachers could learn a lot. I know I learned a lot by listening to each presentation.
