This week we got the opportunity to explore graphics. I believe graphics can benefit me as a teacher as I can create worksheets, and interactive slides and even show 3D models. Graphics can also provide visual elements to words or steps to help to create engaging lessons. The two main graphic resources I will use in the future are PowerPoint and Canva. Today I used Canva to create a little Valentine’s morning worksheet that I could give to my students immediately upon arrival to encourage quiet independent work time to start the day. Being able to have the skill to create my own work is super beneficial as lots of teachers sell little things like this but I was able to create this little worksheet in about 15 minutes very easily, along with this routine will help give my class structure and peace in the morning. Additionally using and creating graphics is a great skill to pass on and teach my students. They could create slides of their summer, an infographic from research they did, and even try to create their own worksheets or games.
