a This week in my Integrating Technology into the Classroom course the assignment is to creat a multimodal tutorial for the classroom. I am doing my multimodial tutorial on the website KidRex.org to show students how to safely navigate on the internet. This tutorial is important so that students are able to find resources on the internet for inclass online assignments in my lesson plan. To create the tutorial, I chose to use Greenshot. This is a free screen-shot software for windows users that allows for desktop screencast to be made. With it, one can take full screen or specific region captures. The images taken can be easily edited using shapes, text boxes, colors, highligters, effects, and so much more! The images also are saved to the computer they are taken on. Overall, as amateur multimodal tutorial creator I will give this piece of software a ten out of ten. It is easy to use and comes with a variety of features for it's users. The only downside is, it is made for microsoft users therefore not everyone may get to enjoy it. Other than that, it a definite favorite of mine that I suggest to all educators that need a screen-shot software. This tutorial teaches students how to get to the KidRex website in order to find words that start with the letters of the alphabet. Students need this skill because it is important that they expand their vocabulary, find a word for their alphabet book, learn how to read as well as follow directions, and properly use the internet. Below are the steps on how to open the internet icon, get to the KidRex.org website, and find the information to complete one of the alphabet assignments in my lesson plan. Step 1: This is the home screen on the desktop of the computer. To begin, click on the blue "E" or internet icon in bottom task bar to open the web page. Step 2: The home web page for the computer is a Bing search engine. Drag the mouse to click on the text box search bar. In the search bar, type in "kidrex.org". Step 3: After typing "kidrex.org" into the text box search bar, click on the blue square with the white arrow. Step 4: The result of clicking the blue box with the white arrow, is the home page for the KidRex.org website. From this page a subject or topic of any type can be found. Step 5: In the text search box type in the letter that is being looked for. "the letter ___". Step 6: Click the green search box to get results. Step 7: Finally, click on any of the blue links to find what information is needed. Have fun and explore!
