 * Reflection: **Prior to this assignment I had no clue that technology resources like this were available. This assignment was very interesting but difficult. It was hard to figure out how to upload the pictures and embed the video. As a future elementary school teacher, I think using a technology assignment like this would be good for a final project. However, I realize the ways that I struggle and would want to be sure my class did not do the same. I would make this a group assignment and allow it to be completed during class. I feel like having each other to figure the technology out would be helpful for young students. Also, it would be beneficial for the teacher to be around while they are completing or a technology resource teacher to guide them through the steps and process. Using this technology was fun, eye-opening, and helped me to start thinking about using 21st-century skills in my future classroom.
