Bitstrips











Comics.. Really I'm not that interested! But in saying this I do think this is great for the classroom. The fact that it accommodates a range of learning styles and abilities is a great aspect for use in the classroom. I feel although I am not totally interested in Comics I wold incorporate this program if my students were interested in the idea. I would find it useful to have pre-made lesson plans and feedback from other students and teachers before introducing this program to my students. I think it is extremely clever that this website relates to Facebook, Nintendo Wii and other technology that students are currently using in society. My introduction to bitstrips was fascinating and I am interested in gaining resources for this program and Pixton.

Wikis

Once again, something I have never done.. used a Wiki Page.
I had never really heard of Wikis and did not think they were relevant to me. I was not interested in looking into these in my private time however was exposed to my first Wiki experience at Uni.
Surprisingly they are not only a useful resource for my current assignment but for my future profession and university assignments. I find them similar in to Google Docs as you are able to edit the page from any computer with the internet. I find this very useful as I am currently forever sending attachments of assignments and drafts via university email when completing group assignments.
I still feel I have alot more to learn about Wikis and their functions. I hope to further my learning before entering the workforce so I have a valuable, accessible tool I am an expert at.

My First Blog EVER


This is my first blog. I have never been interested in blogging. I created this Wordle when looking at a range of blogs and their features. I am using this blog for University purposes.
