Prepare to be Emaze-d

Emaze

         Emaze is a tech tool that teachers can use to create visually unique presentations that keep students interested! Emaze offers numerous default templates that can be customized to fit the teachers needs . While Emaze is slide-based, it's more artistic than other slide show programs. Images and text can be layered on top of one another, and there are many different fonts to choose from. The Emaze tool was fun to use, I would recommend playing with the program before starting your project.

         One thing that I wish were different about Emaze is that it is a paid service so you need to be aware of that from the start. The other thing that I wish was an option with Emaze is that students could use it to collaborate with each other. This is not a great tool for students to use as a group project.

         Real world use and application using the Emaze tool. Teaching students about emergency escape plans and how to be safe can be scary. When students are taught what to expect in an emergency situation can help to ease their minds. Students who have practiced what to do in an emergency can save a life and stay safe.

Assignment: Have students talk with parents and make a fire escape plan for their home. Practice the fire escape plan. Discuss when it is appropriate to call 9-1-1. Be prepared!
