Comics

At the beginning of the task, I thought that this was going to be a waste of time but educational comics enable students to use a large range of skills depending on the task and are able to present in a fun and engaging way. I feel that comics could be used in the class for a variety of reasons and enables cross curricula assessment and needs within the curriculum to enable students to demonstrate several skills

Multi Media Story

When creating multi-media stories the students need to aware of the use of the presentation software. I used Prezi as this takes away options for the students, as they have predetermined themes, font, paths and sequence. I would use this format as students spend a lot of time doing this and by giving them limited options, I feel that their multi-media stories would be more successful as they are focusing on the skills not the format itself. The students need to have basic PowerPoint skills but an understanding of researching, cut and paste and how to use the different resources to make their presentations fun, engaging and meaningful to the students.

Happy Times :)

"7 things you should know about blog"s: Comment/ Discussion

Blogs are a good way to be able to reflect and have an interactive journal by doing this we are enabling our students to be able to decipher their thoughts in a way that enables anonymity and the students to be able to think and discuss their actions using retrospect. i feel as though the negativity of blogs are that students need to learn the skills of reflection which is not inherent and this may cause the blogs to be flawed at times surface reflection but by scaffolding these skills the students will learn to reflect effectively
