Moving on... finally...
Some interesting functions explored in module 5... the standout being the bubbl.us function.
I can really seeing this being a good visual tool for initial brainstorming in new units, but can also see its use when it comes to encouraging students at senior level to brainstorm over thei assessment topics.
Prezzi is another issue... I spent several hours futilely attempting to utelise this tool. It looked so much fun and so much more interesting than powerpoint.... it looked.... in reality it took far too much time for basic use, time I do not have to prepare for a very simple presentation, so my students will have to continue to suffer Powerpoint.
Interestingly I did encourage my seniors to utelise this function when doing their recent tutorials, thinking most would be able to do better than I can... after all aren't they the internet generation???? NO WAY.
We only got one of 7 groups present using Prezzi, the rest gave up when the function lost their work or failed to load or save... so for now I am staying clear.
