Trip Choice: “9/11 Tribute Memorial”

In New York City, there is a 9/11 memorial that was built after the horrific 9/11 event that took place in September 2001. There is also a big museum underground that talks about the 9/11 events and has all different displays of the towers, firetrucks, names of people. There is a whole wall inside this museum where names are listed of people who died during 9/11. Outside, where the twin towers had fallen, are now pools of remembrance and around them list all the police and fire departments that were involved in 9/11 who died.

On this virtual tour, it explains how someone to donate to the 9/11 museum, articles about this terrible event that happened in our country, tribute stats explaining how many people have come to visit this memorial and museum, and how many tours have been done since it opened. There is also something called “One World Observatory”.  Here you can see its resilience firsthand at the top of the tallest building (World Trade Center) in the Western Hemisphere. One World Observatory provides unique, panoramic views of New York City.

The 9/11 Museum shows different artifacts, murals from this day. The museum takes people at least 2 hours to go through as it has a lot of information to give off to people. I went to this memorial and museum a few years ago and it was a great experience. A lot of information was shown throughout this museum, I would like to go back and take someone new with me that’s into history and never been there. I would highly recommend going to New York City and visiting this amazing 9/11 experience through the Pools memorial and museum underground.

Intro: The show “Chopped” is a cooking show where a couple people compete against each other in rounds to see who the best cook is to make it to the final round and the prize of a lot of money. They get evaluated by 3-4 judges each time to see who’s dish is the best.

Watching this in the English language like we normally do on a daily basis, everything is basic, and easy to tell what each person is doing. The background setting was simple and expressed the mood of the show. Each person moved around the same way when they needed too, to get food supplies for their dish. Everyone reacted to the setting of the show and time they had in their own way, depending on how difficult they felt the situation was. Watching it in a different language made these circumstances change into a different perspective. The characters moved around differently than in an English language view. The setting of the show was in a different scene-setting to let people view the show on how people in another country or language see it. This way it gives people the opportunity to see the different settings, cultures, and actions of the characters.

In their culture (Spanish), they travel differently through the show as they see observations differently than we do. They use different types of food ingredients for their dishes than others used. Their spices and ingredients are similar and different apart from our culture. It also all depends on how they use it in their foods.

When using Powerpoints, students love to personalize their presentations with fonts, images, animations, transitions, hyperlinks, 3D images, digital ink, and more. You can speak to someone through PowerPoint.

How? You can type out messages onto the slides and use images, emojis, GIF’s, and other types of effects to set the tone for your message to someone. Communicating through Powerpoint is something most people don’t know how to do very well or know about.

What is Presenter Coach? – It is an artificial intelligence-powered technology assistant that can help teachers and students prepare for presentations without having to stand up in front of a real audience at that time. It is easily and freely available for anyone to try when using PowerPoint.

Presenter Coach works in a way by listening to the sound of your voice as you go on and present your project, and it scans each slide you create for content. The coach will give you suggestions for more inclusive language and help keep you and the presentation on track for grammar and other language and writing mistakes.

There are many different types of activities that are used by global educators. The following are typical things that they do, often on a daily basis:

*Maintain a class blog and invite comments

*Write a personal blog and share via Twitter

*Skype with partner classrooms to support inquiry and literacy

*Interact with PLC’s

*Link educators and projects together

*Work in a paper-free environment

Global educators can use all these different types of activities listed here to bring people together into education more and show them different ways to communicate with other educators and tools to use to chat, video, create projects, and more.

Research shows that another few activities for global educators was found in this website link below:

1-Globalize existing lessons.

2- Celebrate a new holiday or tradition.

3- Read your way around the world.

4- Collaborate- Connect- Communicate with classes around the world.

I chose the tool Remind or Remind.com.

I chose this tool because many of my former teachers all throughout high school used this to keep us students on track for upcoming events and assignments that were due. This tool is very helpful for teachers to use with their students in school. What this app can do, is the teacher can send out a notification to just one student or the entire class and their parents if need be for an upcoming event. For examples: Back to School Night on October 14th or an upcoming test the students should start studying for.

What I always found unique about it is how your teacher can communicate with you other than by an email. The teacher can send out quick reminds to his/her students so they can see the notification automatically and either reply back or send a quick emoji in return so the teacher knows that student saw the message sent out.

I would use it in my classroom to send out messages and quick reminds to my students about upcoming tests, assignments, due dates, events at the school so both the students and their parents can see what’s coming up or going on at their child’s school soon.
