 * Rating**: 9/10. This is an article from an educational website.
 * Description of Resource**: This article from Educational Leadership by Robert J. Marzano describes five key points to keep in mind while developing nonlinguistic curriculum. Those points are:
 * 1) Nonlinguistic representations come in many forms.
 * 2) They must identify critical information.
 * 3) Learners should explain their nonlinguistic representations.
 * 4) Nonlinguistic representations may be time consuming. and
 * 5) Represenations may be revised when necessary.
 * Alignment**: Marzano's article aligns with our text and helped to give me a better understanding of nonlinguistic representation.

 * Nonlinguistic Representation **
 * Name of the Resource **: Khan Academy
 * Type of Resource **: Multimedia Website
 * Rating **: 10
 * Description of Resource **: Khan Academy is online website created by Salman Khan to provide his video instruction to students worldwide. The website has over 2,000 instructional videos in the areas of math, science, economic and government. The website offers students an opportunity to practice skills at various levels in addition to video productions via YouTube. The video support instructional learning in all grades. Users of the Khan Academy videos gravitate more to the math and science instruction.


 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Alignment with Instructional Strategies: **<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Teachers are often asked to include instructional videos or some form of technology in their lesson plans to engage student interest. As stated in our text, today’s learners are more likely to learn a skill and retain the assigned skill when technology is used. As a common practice in the learning environment, teachers are now embedding some forms of technology in the classroom to support instruction inside and outside the classroom. For example, I post links to my Edmodo account weekly for my students to review. Our instructional coaches conduct weekly checks to insure that we are using technology. Also, my school district will roll out a new or updated curriculum this fall. According to several of my coworkers, the new curriculum has links to various videos to support instruction.

Dustin Hunter - Non-Linguistic Representation
 * Resource**: Mind42
 * Type**: This is an educational website.
 * Rating**: I would rate this website as a **9/10**. Mind42 is great because it allows you to create a large variety of mind maps. Mind42 is also nice because you can see many good examples of interesting maps created by others so your students can see the various ways people organize their thoughts and mimic whatever works best for them.
 * Description**: Mind42 is a free educational website that allows the user to create a graphic organizer. Students can create projects demonstrating their knowledge of of various topics and incorporate pictures and symbols into their organizer. Teachers can also use Mind42 to introduce new topics to students. By creating a graphic organizer on this site teachers can clearly display the relevant information and show how that information relates to what has already been learned using non-linguistic symbols.
 * Instructional Strategy**: This week's instructional strategy is non-linguistic representation. According to Pitler, Hubbell, and Kuhn "[n]onlinguistic representations enhance students' ability to use mental images to represent and elaborate on knowledge" (105). Mind42 presents students with the opportunity to make connections between pieces of information and incorporate pictures and graphs to represent that information. Mind42 uses non-linguistic representation to develop a deeper understanding of topics.

 * __Non-Linguistic Representation (Alexa Tyler) - [|Prezi]__**
 * Resource:** Prezi is a presentation software very similar to PowerPoint but accessible via the internet.
 * Rating:** 9/10. Prezi has been growing in popularity, especially in academia, however there is still a bit of a learning curve when it comes to understanding how to use it (Prezi Inc., 2017). While basic presentations can be created using premade templates, trying to go outside of the box and be creative will take some tech savvy and a dash of patience (Prezi Inc., 2017). This program can work on most platforms and devices which makes it very versatile in it’s use. While this product does offer a free version, those who wish to have more advanced options would need to pay for a monthly subscription.
 * Description:** Prezi allows users to get out of the box they are frequently stuck in when it comes to presentations (Prezi Inc., 2017).This program is mainly geared towards businesses and educational presentations. Instead of using slides, Prezi allows the user to zoom in a limitless digital canvas (Prezi Inc., 2017). Mind maps are easy to create with this program as are other forms of non-linguistic representations such as infographics and charts – however – with Prezi these items are much more fluid and interactive for the viewer (Prezi Inc., 2017).
 * Alignment with Strategy:** Prezi aligns with the strategies that are discussed this week because it “enhances students’ ability to use mental images to represent and elaborate on knowledge” (Pitler, Hubbell, & Kuhn, 2012, p. 105). Prezi is a program that focuses primarily on organizing information but can also be used to create brainstorming style images. Prezi allows the user to create graphic representations which “serve as mnemonic devices that facilitate the classification, organization, storage, and recollection of information into and out of long-term memory” (Pitler, Hubbell, & Kuhn, 2012, p. 119).


 * // Michele Schafer: Magnifying the Universe: [] //**
 * Type: ** Web-site: An interactive graphic
 * Rating ** 6/10. I think this is a fun nonlinguistic representation that compares the sizes of things in the universe from stars to animals and atoms. In science we can present ideas and use models to explain principles of some really hard to visual items. I placed this as a 6/10 because it is only it has a limited use to science and math.
 * Description and use in the classroom: ** I am always looking to find ways to interest students in science and show them how they relate to the real world. Sometimes topics or ideas are very abstract and hard to picture because we can’t see them on our own. What we see is a model or drawing. This site allows students to get a better picture of the universe. You can zoom in and out to compare the sizes of things in the universe all the way down to a Hydrogen proton.
 * How it aligns to nonlinguistic representation: ** Nonlinguistic representation focuses on creating mental images. Math and Sciences often use representations to teach ideas and concepts. Many times in science we talk about topics that cannot be seen like parts of a cell, organisms, atoms, or viruses. This site allows you to zoom into see 3D models of some very large and very small objects. Finding visual images to help students understand how we relate to the world around us is a great way to increase student interest. Collecting good multimedia to showcase ideas is a great aid to lessons.

__**Non-Linguistic Representation: Lia**__ ** __[|Book Creator]__ ** **Alignment with Strategy**: Book Creator aligns with our strategies this week because it allows educators to use a nonlinguistic representation of material. Using nonlinguistic representations helps students “to construct meaning of content and skills being learned and to recall it better later” (Pitler, Hubbell, & Kuhn, 2012, p. 105). Educators can model how to create a book and make one together as a class with student input or students can create books independently to showcase their understanding of a particular concept.

 * Resource: ** [|Book Creator] - available for iPad, Android, or Windows.
 * Rating: ** 9/10. Book Creator Free is the free version of this app and offers the basic function of creating your own book, and adding sound and videos but you are limited to creating only one book. However, Book Creator for iPad is the $4.99 version that offers pretty much the same thing, but with the ability to create more than 1 book. I have seen firsthand how engaged and captivated students are while using Book Creator. Definitely a tool that teachers could incorporate in their classrooms daily.
 * Description: ** Book Creator is just that - an app where you can create your own book. The basic functions make this very accessible for students. Students start by choosing the shape of their book, picking background colors, adding text, images, and even adding voice clips (or other sounds). They can insert photos of their own drawings or photos they have taken of their work or easily search the web. Students can share these books via Google Drive, share them to Dropbox, or send using AirDrop. Tons of support on Book Creator website with clear explanations, and a blog to offer up advice on how to use in the classroom. Book Creator is also an easy way to assess students’ understanding of different concepts - you could give older students a rubric to follow. Teachers can also use Book Creator to teach new concepts by creating their own stories.

Asma Alshammari Non-linguistic Representation Resource: Emaze Rating: 9/10 Description: Emaze is a website that allows people to create a visual presentation. It has a huge number of templates for different purposes. Also, Emaze offers various forms of charts, graphs, and specific data. Students and teachers can create their presentation without connection to the internet. However, this feature provides for the people who have a premium membership. Moreover, Emaze uses 3D animation and video background. It is free for some version, and it costs 9$ for per month. Alignment with strategy: I consider Emaze as the best tool for students to use mental images through the learning process. Students can create, manage, and share their presentation with the other. It helps students to use both kinds of representation, linguistic and nonlinguistic forms. Reference: - Marsan, Jeremy. (2016). Best Presentation Software: Emaze vs. Prezi vs. PowerPoint.

 * Name of resource: ** PowToons
 * URL: ** []
 * Rating: ** 9/10 – PowToons is a quick online tool that allows a novice to create videos/cartoons with ease. I rated this a 9 because there are some limitations with the free version. With a paid subscription there are a plethora of animations, characters, music, backdrops and more. The free version is good too, just has a few limitations. If you haven’t looked it up, take a peek and you won’t be disappointed. We have used it at work to add a little something different and it has been received well by employees.
 * Description: ** PowToons is a web-based tool that allows the average person to create engaging animated videos in just a few clicks. They pride themselves on exceptional support and offer free webinars with a live person showing you how to use the tool. There are also online eLearning options and an expansive knowledgebase as well. After creating your account, within 10 minutes you could create your first PowToon. (PowToons, 2017)

“PowToon is the world’s leading, most user-friendly and most intuitive animation software. With PowToon, anyone - even if you don’t know a pixel from a proxy server - can create engaging, animated videos with a professional look and feel.

Our greater vision is to bring a touch of awesomeness to everyday communications. Whether you’re teaching a class, sending a note to a friend or pitching a product to potential investors - just PowToon it.” (PowToons, 2017)

 * 9/10. It allows access for students on an assigned basis when the teacher assigns the class active. Teachers can also log in and see the process that the students are making on their project. You can also publish your finished product for $5 to share with family and friends.
 * You could use this website for virtually any subject . If students had to create a visual representation of a given topic, this site would allow that access. The students also have access to pre downloaded clipart and background images along with customizable additions. If students were given an assignment to show the steps of the scientific method, they could illustrate it with a storybook rather than an oral report.
 * This aligns with our chapter about Nonlinguistic representations because it gives students a chance to show a visual representation of what they have learned. They will show their content understanding with visual representations/mental images as stated in the book. It fits many areas for students and their representations of both linguistic and nonlinguistic forms and allows them to fulfill the goal of how they interpret curriculum content into an image from their minds.

 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Resource: **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Drops allows students to associate words with pictures to help them grasp a foreign language.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">I took two years of Spanish in high school and squeaked by with Cs because learning a foreign language is difficult for me, so I love the idea of apps that enhance the learning experience and make it fun in the process. Drops is an excellent free tool, with purchase upgrades available, that can be downloaded on any Apple device. It is convenient and fun. I am going to use it, so I can finally learn Spanish and survive down here in Miami. But don’t take my word for it, here is what one satisfied customer has to say about Drops, “I am not exaggerating when I say that it is a game changer. The vocab (sic) is clean and easy to understand, separated into themes that you can choose from, and there’s a real sense of progression” ( <span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">[] <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">).
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Rating: ****<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">9/10. **

<span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Drops is “for visually-oriented students, and you can use it to learn a variety of languages like Spanish, French, German, and more. With each new word, you are introduced to minimal yet attractive visuals that help you understand what you are learning” ([]). The app pairs text with pictures, which reiterates the subject matter. Instead of students trying to mesmerize and comprehend new words (as I did when I took Spanish almost 20 years ago), Drops helps students learn foreign language through non-linguistic representations.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Description: **

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Most people are visual learners, so it is imperative for educators to utilize non-linguistic tools to enhance the learning environment. Drops is a great tool to assist students learning a foreign language by combing pictures and text. Pitler, Hubbell, & Kuhn state, “nonlinguistic representations enhance students’ ability to use mental images to represent and elaborate on knowledge…The more individuals use both types of representation, the better they are able to reflect on and recall knowledge” (2012). Based on this information, that is why Drops is such an amazing app because it combines linguistic and non-linguistic representations to teach students a foreign language.

Resource- [|Easel.ly] Rating- 10/10 I rate this app a 10 because it demonstrates how nonlinguistic knowledge storing works. Nonlinguistic is "taking mental images and physical sensations and using it to learn and remember new content", (Pitler, 2012 pg.105). Ease.ly does just that! Description- Easel.ly is a website that you can use to turn your thoughts and ideas into infographics that are fun to learn from. You can use a template or you can create your own infographic template. Alignment: I think today more so than ever, students are becoming visual learners. This website allows you to take a lesson and create material in a way that makes it fun to learn and easy to remember.
