Module 6

I have found this module to be the most helpful thus far as I have never heard of items such as Glogster.

In terms of in class use, I am a big fan of mind maps and brainstorming in general and generally use this technique throughout the course of a unit. Whilst I have never used bubbl before, in Yr 12 Multimedia we create an in class mind map using the schools software to break apart the syllabus and delve into each of the dot points. As the school has its own mind mapping software (inspiration) I generally do not use the Internet versions which saves me from worrying about Internet speeds and so forth however, as bubbl has a variety of features that Inspiration does not I may look to this site in the future to create more advanced mind maps for the students. (On the right I have created a Web 2.0 mind map as a test of Bubbl).

The idea of 'Editorial Cartoons' is a new one for me. Whilst I have used and seen a number of digital storybooks and online cartoon creators, a site such as glogster seems to take this idea and expand upon it. The ability to create video and audio alongside your storybook and use it to add an extra dimension is a tremendous idea and allows a number of possibilities not only for presenting work to students but also for students to create their own work. I am thinking about incorporating this into a junior assessment to see its full potential.
