Module 5 bubbl.us, Glogster, Prezi

What a module! Great to learn all about the exciting things that I can do. Cant wait for the holidays to have a play!
Thinking about using Glogster for a portfolio piece - maybe next term.
Love the idea of Bubbl.us and Prezi also. Have touched on it at school but this reminder has got me really interested. The preps could also handle this. Definately going to play around with these on the holidays.

Module 4: Podcasts and Animoto

Module 4 - Podcasts & Animoto


Was a little wary about podcasts. Had heard about them but not sure what they were exactly and didn't know how to use them and why I would need them. Pretty easy and a great idea.
 
Animoto!! Wow, how awesome. Loved making my own and will DEFINATELY be making more. I'm going to teach my daughters all about this. Fantastic!!!!

Am really enjoying learning about all of these new and interesting ideas :)

Module 3: Creating & collaborating with online applications


Module 3 – Google Docs

Really like the idea of Google Docs. Can see lots of positives to further explore this.  Makes sense that you don’t have to go through the motions of checking emails and clogging up your inbox.

As a prep teacher I am not sure how I can use this with my students but can see the benefits of using it with parents and colleagues.

I think I will need to get on and play with Google Docs to get the feel of how to really use it.

I wonder if people who don’t have a Google account can access Google Docs and respond to a form in it. I also wish that I had known about this earlier as I would have been able to use it during my Masters. L In saying this, I am sure that I will be able to make further use of it, even during our planning.

Module 2: Exploring the use of blogs in K -12 learning spaces


Module 2 – Blogging

 

Having no prior knowledge about blogging, I now have some insight and am keen to get into blogging. I have set up my blog and have begun posting. This is a major achievement for me!!

I like the idea of blogging but not really sure about how to go about using it in the classroom.  Will need further investigation into this one!

Have signed up to Twitter #idontunderstandwhattodowithtwitter but am quickly learning how to stalk - whoops follow people.

With this info overload, I wonder if my head has the capacity to understand and utilise all this information in my classroom but I can’t wait to have a go.

 

Module 1 - The beginning of my Web 2.0 journey.


Module 1. What I want to know…

 

I am currently nearing the end of completing my Masters.  Yippee!!!!!

 

I am also teaching Preps and am eagerly awaiting the end of term.

 

I am not very confident in the world of technology and am very keen to expand my knowledge in this area.

 

I know nothing about Google Docs, Flickr and Moodle, however when investigating the first module, realized that I would like to learn more about these and probably others.

 

I am sure there will be many challenges along the way but I am looking forward to the learning journey.
