Blog Blunder # 6 - Creating and Communicating Online

Module 6 - The Year 2010 - the era of creating mind-blowing presentations using a variety of media and tools. 

Any creative way to enthuse and interest students in the completion of tasks, especially for Stage 3, is now a necessity. If students realise that there are ways to present things in a yet to be discovered/experienced format, you have created a level of interest like no other. 

Mention the following terms, and watch the creative juices fly:

• ONLINE
• FREE
• PRESENTATION TOOL
• MEMBERSHIP 
• AUDIO/VIDEO/IMAGE
• COLOUR

Two popular online creative presentation tools are:

"bubble.us" - a free online mind-mapping tool. Very similar to:

• Free - "IHMC Cmap Tools" - http://cmap.ihmc.us/
• Licence - "Kidspiration & Inspiration" - http://www.inspiration.com/Kidspiration

A simple yet affective program to present information. Easy to create. The ability to see the whole page allows the user to manipulate the information with ease, using the space effectively.  

Glogster is a social network that allows users to create free interactive posters, or glogs. The ease with which you can create an interactive poster with:

• Import sound/image/video
• Decorative graphics - backgrounds - glog wall & page wall

There are really no limits to what can be completed using this program. The ability to so creative can be an issue - getting the task completed in an appropriate time limit!
