Module 7

Delicious is fantastic, a sophisticated version of bookmarks and favourites on Internet Explorer. I like that I can access other people in my networks tags and bookmarks without needing them to approve me like facbook does. I commented on leonie's blog. I will show the delicious site to my Year 6 children, a useful research tool for online work. I am looking forward to investigating the RSS Feeds. The wetpaint wiki keeps on sending me emails to let me know that helen has updated someone. I am finding this very frustrating and time consuming to delete several emails a day that i dont need to!

Module 6

I found bubbl us to be a great online, interactive mind mapping tool, which is easy to use. This is fantastic as the generic mind map on promethean gets a little boring. The Glogs are amazing... I created an Antarctica glog and linked a u tube clip to a picture. I am a little confused about how the kids access my classroom glogs, I tried to embedd the URL link into a DIY Property, or paste it as a link on my noticeboard but its restricted to my log on only. Great idea to let the kids 'glog' as an ICT/ KLA Assessment.

Module 5

I tunes is a fab program, the iphone apps are even more fun. Digital storytelling is fantastic. I would like to see children bringing in their ipods and downloading audio books and podcasts to use during literacy sessions.

Thoroughly enjoyed this Module and the course so far. The outline of this course is fantastic, especially as its avaliable during school hols. It even inspired me to create a staff IT My Classes page, complete with a voki thanks to Helen Christou :) (Thanks Helen).
