Module 5

Just recently the students used Bubbl.us to create their own mind map. Everyone was capable of using this tool and like me, found it very easy. The only concern I have is that the creative students enjoy 'drawing' their own mind maps. Therefore I think  Bubbl.us is a bit restrictive. On reading some of the other blogs, the tool exploratree offers many more templates - http://www.exploratree.org.uk/ 

My very simple mind map on the 4 modules I have completed. 

Glogster EDU is a great way to incorporate images, audio, text and video to create an interactive 'poster'. I have had a bit of go at using Glogster and I found that it takes a long time for the content to load. In a classroom situation, this could affect the lesson - timewise and causing frustration.

Prezi is another tool I had not heard of before. I thought the 'Thoughts on using Prezi as a teaching tool' was very informative and showed exactly what Prezi is capable of doing.

Prezi is similar to a Powerpoint presentation, but through the use of zooming and finding information in obscure places, it will help keep the students engaged.
