• Educreation is an excellent tool for creating recorded presentations for lessons. It will be a valuable resource for future classrooms and teaching. The only thing I found frustrating was having to re-record and re-insert pictures. But, I really enjoyed using this tool and will definitely use it again. 
• We will cover the digestive system in class and make our own Educreation projects in class on the classroom iPads. Each group will cover one of the 10 parts of the digestive system. Then we will take turns presenting that specific part during class.
• This video is excellent for classroom use and home use. It gives students a place to come back and review already taught material.

Managing Stress Evaluation

Standard #1: The students will learn ways to improve mental health and manage stress.

Objective #4: Demonstrate constructive ways of managing stress. 

Educational Technology Standard #4: Use general purpose productivity tools and peripherals to support personal productivity, to remediate skill deficits, and to facilitate learning through the curriculum. 

• This google form will be used for a variety of purposes when learning about Health Education. It will be a tool for students to be able to openly talk about what causes them stress, it will be a tool for me to be able to help students when it comes to stress, and it will test the students' knowledge on what they learned about stress during our lesson.
• It is very important for students to understand that EVERYONE feels stress, no matter what age. But, there are very effective ways to control our stress. This project will help us learn ways to identify stress and cope with it.
• This form will coincide with our stress management plans we made in class.

• Thinglink is a great way to create interactive projects! The site is easy to use and fun to create projects on. It provides the opportunity to add important information, videos, and pictures to your project in a fun way. I really enjoyed creating on Thinglink and look forward to incorporating it into my classroom.  
• I would like each student to be familiar with the website and different healthy foods, then share their favorite healthy meals and snacks with the class.
• This web page will be beneficial in the classroom and at home. It is loaded with valuable suggestions for a healthy lifestyle!
