Module 10

Today I explored different wikis. There are some that I will use next year with my class, especially the booklist, as we are doing reviews at the moment so students can look at reviews and create their own to add to the site. I looked at the digital book talks, vidlit and speakabook that will also be useful for the unit on reviews and for other english topics. I also looked at wetpaint but had to do so at home as we couldn't get complete access at school so I don't know how it will be used at school due to this problem.

The digital looms map will be useful to access when programming in the holidays as it makes for easy access and all our programs at school are differentiated.

Module 9 Scootle

I have been using Scootle since the beginning of the year to access games, vidoes and images etc. to supplement the teaching for all KLAs. I usually provide the scootle code in programs for tec's to access. Today I learnt how to make 'Learning Paths' whereby I choose the scootle links that I want the students to use. Then I made a link in myclasses for students to access these. A great way to set activities for computer school time and for students to acces for homework.

Module 8

Today we added Google Reader gadget to our igoogle page so that we could access any changes to sites that we check regularly rather than having to go to each site. We added Blogs from our Web 2 course group so we can keep up to date with the changes they made. This makes it easier to see changes and keep up with changes. To add something to our reader we add a subscription by typing the URL.We can also choose to share these sites with others.

Module 6

This week we used bubble.us website which would be a great site for students to use to create mind maps for topics in various KLAs. We also learnt how to embed the mind map we had created into our Blog and into a gloster poster.

We also had a look at and created an account in gloster and began using the features of this web site to create a poster about what we have been learning in this course. The students would have a lot of fun creating creative ways to record and display what they have learnt in various KLAs. We learnt how to embed our poster into our Blog.

Module 7

Today we learnt how to use online communication networks to share favourite web sites. We made a delicious account so we could tag websites and organise them into topics for easy access. We learnt how to visit friends delicious accounts so we could tag some of their favourites to add to ours. This is a great way to share website with each other. If there is a web site you don't want to share you can make it private.

We also visited other people's Blog Sites and commented.
