Creating and Communicating online...I'm starting to get a slight case of brain overload now - I thought I was on top of everything, until I discovered this module - there is just a plethora of information, ideas, concepts, tools and technological equipment, that I feel like I can't keep up! I get the hang of one thing and before I know it, it's a "thing of the past" and something bigger and better is put in place!
All of these discoveries are definitely fantastic and I can see how wonderful these are to help with teaching the 21st Century Learner - but I feel like I'm only one step ahead of the kids, if that!
The next purchase for every classroom should definitely be a SmartBoard, and I know I would use it for so much more than just an expensive overhead projector. Once again, time and facilities are such huge contributing factors to getting all of these Web tools taught and understood.
Bubbl.us - I becme familiar with the inventive brainstorming tool last year and used it quite extensively...but like some of my colleagues, I was simply a visitor, and unable to save and edit my concept maps. Now I'm a member!
And I love how you can create an online ScrapBook and post it to your Blog - very impressive!
Looking forward now to our next Module!

Hi Laura, I feel the same way you do...I definitely have a IT headache. Wouldn't it be great to have a smartboard in every classroom! I know that in some schools this is the case but it is a very costly exercise. I love your glog. I think this is something that the kids would love using however I've heard that only children 13 yrs and older can register. Next time have a search through some of the animations...some even have sound effects.
