Luckily for new users like me, this tool has all the templates to get started with. The animations are eye-catching!
In the future, I could use this tool advertise a brand, as the bright colors and animations will catch people’s attention. Mostly, I think this tool is great for conveying basic information. Anything more becomes too much text.
Predict how you think we will practice each of the 7 main core competencies in this course.

Communication :
In this course, we will learn to use EduBlogs and personal portfolios to communicate our interests, ideas, and learning. We will also interact and communicate with peers and Ms. Abercrombie to enhance all of our learning experiences.
Collaboration :
A part of why technology has become so essential is that it can be a tool for collaboration, when used effectively. I think we will learn to do this via completing group projects, assignments, and tasks with classmates, in which we build relationships and must learn to respect each other’s opinions and contributions.
Creative Thinking :
To create projects, we will design and come up with ways to use what tools are at our disposal in new and inventive fashions, all while having fun.
Critical and Reflective Thinking :
Part of the design process is testing, then failure, then reflecting on why we failed, and going back to fix the problem and improve on design. This cycle repeats until we succeed.
Personal Awareness and Responsibility :
We must treat our technology with respect and care. In addition, when online, we are still responsible for our actions, like social media or blog posts, and will behave accordingly.
Personal and Cultural Identity :
This course, like all other events in our life, will build on our individual identities, in that we will develop new skills and abilities, as well as be part of a mini “community.”
Social Awareness and Responsibility :
As we interact with our classmates, peers, and teacher in this course, we learn to build and appreciate positive relationships.
