Module 4 - Flickr


I find Flickr a fantastic tool, not least to share pictures with family abroad


Creative Commons is extremely important for responsible use of images. A good website to use for any creative commons (image, video etc.) is http://search.creativecommons.org

Module 3 - Google Docs


Ok, so I've been away for a while, sorry :)

I've been using Google Docs for a while, mostly thanks to Mick Prest's insistence and usage. It is a great way share documents and collaborate. If you want to allow for multiple editors its excellent. 'Forms' are fantastic for evaluations, monitoring responses immediately in tests and surveys. If you simply want to upload and share documents with no editing I prefer 'Scribd' which can then be embedded in a Wiki or Blog

Module 2 - Blogs


There are lots of excellent blogs out there, Chris Betcher's 'Betchablog' is one of my favourites, particularly for eLearning (read about mobile phones in the classroom): http://betch.edublogs.org/

I also think there will be a lot of great blogs to come out of this course.

Blogs are particularly good for journalling with students e.g. for a TAS project

Module 1

Oops! I've already made a mistake and made my first post without reading the instructions. I don't endorse this impulsive, experimental action....honestly :)

A much better intro than last year's course!
