Making A Video  At first I had some mixed feelings about Adobe Spark. That is probably because Im not much of a film and editing person. But as I worked though my project, I started to get more comfortable, and gain and understanding for this tool.  My thought process was pretty simple. I stuck with my typical football idea. I wanted to tell a story about our football season - highlighting the key points. I used the "Make Up My Own Story" templet to do that. It seemed like the route to go for this type of project. My interaction with Adobe Sparks was interesting. I do think this is a better video tool for educators then Imovie.  It was easy for me to add photos, and insert my voice - which I thought was a cool feature. I did find it difficult choosing a layout to use. I feel like it was very limited. But overall, it was not a bad experience.  I can see how this tool would be a great thing foe teachers to use in the classroom. You can recored less...

More w/ Notebook Features  I really enjoyed the notebook features I used in my Basic Football Interactive Activity. Its simple and fun for kids to use. It was the perfect Google Slide activity to use for introducing the game of football to kids before going outside and teaching them the sport on the field.  Activities like this shouldn't be to long, so I decided to add one more slide to my presentation. I decided to add in a sticky notes slide activity.  I choose this activity because it's a great way to see what students have learned from the presentation, by giving them the opportunity to type in their thoughts and make connections.  I built this activity with the idea of students making connections. The presentations presented the students with a lot of information about football. I want to see what they felt was the most important information and the connections they can make.  Using the sticky notes allow teachers to see what the students...

Google Slides Can Be More Then Just a Presentation For this assignment, I wanted to put myself in the shoes of an elementary PE teacher who is teaching students the basics of football. Going outside and playing football is fun and all, but teaching kids the fundamentals of the game while in a classroom setting before hitting the field prepares them for whats to come. I wanted to build a presentation that help students understand what a football player is, the different positions there are in football, and how football helps young people in life. This particular google presentation helped me build a great activity for doing this. During my decision making process, I wanted to put something together that would allow the students to present their thoughts while being interactive with the presentation. I wanted the students put together some kind of notes using their previous knowledge of football in an interactive activity. This brought me to the the google slide interactive no...

Google Slides - SU Football (Defensive Backs) I do not currently teach in a school setting, but I do coach college football. We spend a lot of time in the classroom going over plays and breaking down film. Google Slides is a great way to present my players with our playbook.  I love being creative, and Google Slides allowed me to do that. Applying each slide with a different background picture and highlighting important information.  This activity allowed me to get started on our playbook for the defensive backs for the spring. I will use Google Slides to teach my position group the X's and O's of the game this spring.  Link to Google Slide:  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1S_YjBqCqV_37GP8v7bH6Nex3Gq8SQV6HDgULTiMacmE/edit#slide=id.p
