Module 8

To be honest i had never heard of RSS feeds before. I have to say i don't use blogs on the internet simply because i never new how to. I am constantly learning in this course.
I would be hesitant to use them in a proeffesional matter as i would be concerned as to how correct the information is that i recieve. I would be more inclined to use blogs for topics of interest.

I think this tool could be quiet useful for people who do use blogs and are interested in similar topics.

I have added some subscriptions to my google reader account, youtube, the surf report and cricket scores.

Module 7

Someone please help!!


I have spent the last 30min watching youtube videos and creating a Yahoo page in order to then create a Delicious page and have no idea how to set up bookmrks and tags.

This is so ridiculous!!!!
I can't beleive how many accounts we have to create in order to complete this course. Why is it not linked to our wiki page and our main account.

This is meant to be a resource for us to use in the classroom. To be honest they have made it so hard to learn about why would we then want to use it.

I'm going to take some time out from Web 2.o course and hopefully I will return with a more positive attutide beacuse right know I feel like I have wasted 2 hours of quality time I could of used for planning and making new resources.

Module 6

Hi,

to be honest I was quiet frustrated completing this module. When I created my fisrt Bubbl page the account did not save so I had to redo my mind map and create a new account.

I can see some benifits with this tool, being able to put ideas down for others to see and comment on is a great communication and learning tool.

I feel a little overwhelmed at the minute with all the modules we are learning about and to be honest I am having trouble thinking of ways to implement all of them in my classroom.

I guess it is just a time thing. I think I need to spend more time learning about Bubbl and the benefits it will have for my students learning.

If you have any comments or ideas please let me know.!!

Module 5

Hi,

I have just completed Module 5. I'm familar with Youtube and already use it both for my private use and for the classsroom.

I think using You tube to show students videos on line that link with their learning is a great tool.


It gives students the opportunity to learn in a new way. It creates great discussion between students.

I will definately continue to use Yout Tube in my classroom.

I was not so familar with Podcast. I have not used podcasting. I have see my parnter use podcasting to learn about photography courses and a teacher friend of mine was explinging how it is linked to itunes. Thanks Jann!!

I had a look and found that podcasts will also be a great resource for the classroom. A tool that educates children in a fun way, they don't have to write or talk, they just listen. For the visual learners this will be very useful.

Hi all,

I have just completed Module 4 and can appreciate the wonderful tools flicker has but due to privacy I do not want to create a flicker page.

Module 3

Hi all,

I have just completed Module 3 and found it a little difficult to workout how to share my documents.

I think the blog page will be more benifical for my students. I think the Google doc page will be a good tool for myself. If i'm away and need to document things down for work i can use this page. I like that it doesn't matter where I am I can save my work and access it from any computer.
