Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe Creative Cloud is a great tool to use to make worksheets, flyers, slides, and videos. I was able to use this application to create GIFs for my slides, find stock photos to use in my projects, and take the backgrounds out of various pictures. I am looking forward to using this application to help create engaging visuals for my students in my future classroom and have an easy way to create flyers and worksheets to hand out to my students. I am also excited to use Adobe Creative Cloud to create and edit videos for my students to follow along with and slides that they can engage with.

Google Forms

Google Forms makes it easier to quickly create assessments for your students to complete in class. This application is a great tool to create surveys, quizzes, or comprehension checks for your students. I am excited to use Google Forms to create assessments to check for my students' understanding, and I can include pictures, videos, and GIFs within each question and answer. It is also very easy to see when your students have submitted their answers, what percentage of your students got each question correct, and the answers each student put for each question.

Cosmic Kids Yoga

Cosmic Kids is a great app for teachers to use with their students at school and for parents to use with their kids at home. There are a wide variety of kid-friendly yoga videos to choose from and follow along with. They are grouped by age, length, or theme so it is easy to find a video that fits you and your class's needs. Along with the guided yoga videos, there are also meditation videos, bedtime videos, brain break videos, and social and emotional learning videos to use in school or at home. I am excited to use this application with my future classes to have cool down activities, brain break activities, or yoga adventure activities. There are so many options to choose from and incorporate into your lessons!
