My name is Emily and I am studying to be an English Education major. I find blogging to be really difficult, but as it is a new age, I figured I should learn. Recently in my Education Tech class we have been learning about animoto, a site that lets you create short videos set to music. They really help in education classes as a way to breakup the monotony of daily lecture. I have yet to use it, but the concept is pretty cool.
Since I'm required to do this, I figure I'll addsomething fun. As I aman English major, why not do a 'word of the week' segment. I'm always finding new words!
Word of the Week:
Katzenjammer
1: Hangover
2: distress
3: a discordant clamor
Example: Traffic was all tied up, the kids were fighting, and in the midst of this katzenjammer, the phone rang.
-Thank you Webster's Dictionary
I still have yet to fully comprehend what animoto is. I should probably google it to see. I love that katzenjammer word....maybe I'll start using it around. It could be the "new term". I agree, blogging is tricky.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using an animoto within the classroom! I believe the students will love it and really get into whatever you are using it for! It is a great way to incorporate technology into your lesson! I love your word of the week! Great blog post!
