My i-Images
These are images that are inspired from my BIG Idea for the ImagineIT Project I will implement in my classroom. The goal for the project is to get students to understand how all concepts in chemistry are connected. I choose the first slide and quote to push the idea that everything in science is connected, and I want my students to be able to explain the connections between concepts we learn in class. Specifically, I want students to explain how all concepts relate to the aspect of energy. Energy is everywhere, and while many students know this, they often don't understand the existence of energy and how/why energy changes forms. I want students to be able to define energy in various ways and identify what type of energy is present. The last two images I choose, not only show forms of energy, but connects it back to human beings. The quotes I choose also give meaning to the symbolic meaning of energy. This is important because I want my students to understand they can go beyond the limits they have set for themselves in and outside of my classroom.

My i-Video
The BIG idea for my ImagineIT project focuses on the connections in chemistry in relation to energy. Nothing in the universe can happen without energy and I want my students to continually connect with that idea to understand that the content they learn in class also has a connection, whether that connection is large or small. Connecting content not only assists with understanding, but remembering the content as well. When thinking about my video, I wanted my video to probe students to begin thinking about the existence of energy in chemistry. For my video I used Vittle to create slides and recorded my voices over those slides. Once those slides were complete, I uploaded the files to iMovie to edit and add sound.
