Module 5

Wow! It's wonderful as podcasting through itunes is like an online subscription which allows you to choose your own content. For eg. if students are studying a language, perhaps the "fast finishers" would be able to access a podcast activity relative to the language they are learning about. The visual content of a podcast is an attractive learning tool, a good alternative to paper and/or books.

Module 4

Even better! I like learning new things and doing them the legit way. Exploring photos and videos on the net without having to access google images is a breakthrough for me. I knew there were other sources I just had to learn about and discover. Thanks to Web2 and all the new applications I now feel more confident in sharing photos and videos.

Module 3

Wow, what a great app in a perfect world and learning environment. This is so good for note taking and great if you have access to the technology. I am able to collaborate with collegues to create and share knowledge. eg. google doc instead of a communication book or use a google spreadsheet instead of handwritten checklists when assessing classes. I could share these documents with collegues who would be able to edit/add to the process.

Module 1 & 2

So far I have learnt that Google is no longer a "search engine" provider and has so much more to offer.

Through Blogging I can reflect on elearning experiences and share these with my collegues and other interested readers.

If children were given the time and technology at their fingertips, I believe the use of blogging would be an ideal tool to share their experiences and/or reflect on their learning. Blogging could be used as part of journal writing experiences during guided reading. It would also be an attractive tool for children with special needs to use for recount writing, reflections and they would be able to share these experiences with their parents.
