Audio & Visual Tools

More recently I have using Canva a lot throughout the duration of this program. I really believe that Canva has helped me develop more of the design skills that I believe I have been lacking with presentations. Prior to the ADL program, I heavily used Google Slides for pretty much everything. I used it everyday when creating interactive lessons for my students. It is a great program for presentations and making click and drag activities. As far as videoing, my go to website is Screencastify. I found this website to be extremely helpful during the early days of teaching during COVID. I was able to record videos of me reading, and demonstrations of how to do assignments for my students. I even recorded tutorial videos for the parents to help them navigate my teacher website and technology tips. At the beginning of COVID I started a podcast and utilized Audacity to record and edit audio. I know we have an upcoming podcast assignment, Audacity is a free program that I suggest to use. It's not extremely hard to use and does pretty much whatever you need to have done to edit audio.
