Module 6 - Communicating Online

Bubbl Us is a great tool similar to Inspiration.  I have used Inspiration in the past for students to brainstorm project ideas and use their own inspiration to come up with concept sketches.  I have also used Inspiration to pretest students on a topic and organise ideas.  Its a great way to find out what they already know helping to inform your teaching.

Bubbl Us allows you to export the mindmap as an image.  This would be a great homework activity for students to complete and email as an image. Check out my Bubbl Us below...

Glogster is so great!  I just spent so much time last week researching the best way for students to publish and share their videos and project work without using YouTube.  Glogster is the answer!  I can't wait to use this in the classroom.  Its like a digital poster.  The girls here a going to love Glogster.  And so far i have not had any issues with uploading.  http://noonanr.edu.glogster.com/year9textilestech/ I create this in the space of 2 minutes.  I love that its private so only those who know the address can see the site.  It is otherwise not published on their site.
