Hello,

If you cant guess by the title, today in class we discussed Twine and Google Classroom. In formal terms, Twine is an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories.

I had never heard of Twine before today but after trying it I am amazed.. Twine is extremely fun to use! To me, it is an online story version of the game would you rather. You can create different scenarios in your story that readers can explore. Unfortunately, the stories that you create are hard to publish. Overall, it is a fun activity to do that can tap into your creativity and humor quite quickly. To me, Twine is an A+ downtime activity to partake in.

We also created our own Google Classrooms

Personally, I have always had an intense & passionate dislike for anything Google Doc related. I find Google Accounts to be confusing and always end up doing the wrong things when editing a Google Doc. But… creating a Google Classroom was extremely easy! Our teacher gave us a Google Classroom Workshop and then we played around with the program for awhile. I can definitely see myself creating a Google Classroom at some point in my career, although I am partial to FreshGrade now. Below is a video of me playing around on the site. Enjoy!
