I chose to do a timeline on myself.
I picked out when I started school, whether it be elementary, high school or college.
I know that something more educational might have been a better choice, but I felt like talking about myself, so here is my TimeGlider.
Students love to talk about themselves and I know that they would love to do it in this form.
I was going to do something more educational, but I could not find specific days with anything.
So I chose to talk about myself. I did the time line based on when I started different grade levels, so it is somewhat education related. ;)
I feel this assignment meets Standard:
Standard 3
Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. Teachers:
a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations

Resume Grade
The grade I got for my resume, when I went to RezScore was not the grade I excepted at all. The resume I have now got me all of my points for my portfolio grade (according to my Liason) however, it got me very few points when it came to the website's grade. My resume was too short and it was not professional enough, and I also had things I didn't need. Oh well, as long as I got a good grade when it was important that is all that matters.
To do this assignment I found my resume on my computer and attached in on the website, and clicked grade. Then I got my results, which I didn't like very much, so I will be working on my resume before I turn in any applications.
The standard that I feel this assignment meets is
Standard 5
Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership
Teachers continuously improve their professional practice, model lifelong learning, and exhibit leadership in their school and professional
community by promoting and demonstrating the effective use of digital tools and resources. Teachers:
d. contribute to the effectiveness, vitality, and self-renewal of the teaching profession and of their school and community.

PhotoStory
This was one of the hardest assignments for me.
My computer would not download photostory, so I had to wait till I came home for the weekend and create my video here. Then I thought I had Photostory on my old laptop, which I didn't. It was too slow, so I gave up on downloading it. So in the end I used the desk top to create my video. The problem then was there is no microphone with the desktop, so I tried to find a song that kind of fit the topic. Too bad the song (even though it is from ITUNES, is copyrighted)... so there is NO sound at all!!
Here is the end result... FINALLY!!
I do enjoy the idea the photo-story offers. I really liked making the one I made in my undergraduate class, which was all about me. I did find it hard to time the picture correctly for this one, and to know which order I wanted them in. Also since I do not have a microphone putting in slides with the information on them had to be taken into account when it came to time. I really do like the idea of photo-story, this assignment just wasn't the the I enjoyed (like I wish I had).
I feel this assignment meets is standard

File Converter
I used this for a file converter of a youtube video. Below are the steps I took to convert my video/file The steps include what I wanted to convert the file to (in this case a Windows Media Video) and then put in the URL of the website and clicked continue. As you can see it was successfully downloaded to the file. The final step is to click download and then it will pop up and allow you to watch the video in whatever file you chose.

Appropriate You Tube Video
To figure out how to save a YouTube video to my computer, I simply used Google to search "how to save a YouTube video to my computer". This search lead me to Computer Hope and then to KeepVid. Neither of these wanted to do what I was asking them to do, atleast when it came to inserting the video into my blog. I have several copies of my video on my computer but none of them wanted to be embedding in my blog.
After both of those failed me,I then tried Freecorder, which is a tool you can download for free that allows you to save video, audio, and even convert files.
Since everything failed for me I asked in the discussion board, and found that I was over thinking things. All i had to do was copy and paste the HTML and it worked. Man this assignment stressed me out more than it needed to.
I believe that teachers could definitely benefit from this skill.
When you find a video that get the point across just the way you want to, you can save it and have it forever, not have to worry about the site being blocked on the video being down next time you go to access it. No one wants to being talking about something and using a video that on the day they are talking about it, they find it is no longer available.

Jeopardy Labs
Here is My Jeopardy Template
I used one that I had created for a Social Studies unit I did.
I liked it so well that I sent it to a 3rd grade teacher (at the school I student taught at) and she now uses it with her class.
It has come in handy in many different situations, so I thought "why not use it for this too".
I hope you all enjoy.
I feel that this assignment meets more than one standard.
I meets both Standards 1 and 2
1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student
learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers:
c. promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students’ conceptual understanding and thinking, planning,
and creative processes
2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessments incorporating contemporary tools and resources to
maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers:
c. customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using
digital tools and resources
d. provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology
standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching

Prezi
I did my Prezi on the phases of the moon.
I was really easy to insert text and photos.
It took me a while to figure out how to embed my presentation. I hope it works.
I think Prezi is a really fun tool, once you get the hang of it.
I found information about the moon, and then downloading images to go with all that information. I then put the information in an certain order and attached the pictures along side the information that went with each of the pictures I added. I finally chose the path I wanted the information and pictures to go in, and then saved it all and embeded it in here.
The standard which I feel this assignment meets is:
