Week 5 Module 5 Creating and Collaborating online

Web 2.0 presentation example on Prezi

Here are two examples of online creations http://www.bubbl.us/ and  http://www.prezi.com/  that we have looked at through this session. I am very interested in the practical applications of each of these in the classroom and can see significant potential for both of them.
I commenced using each of these during our session and had attempted to upload them onto my blog (which I did successfully incidently!) BUT when I tried to look into them later I discovered some problems, which were user errors on my behalf using Blogger!!! I think I have refined my skills somewhat and now I have a greater idea of what I am doing on Blogger...YAY!
I like the way that http://www.bubbl.us/ provides an instant way of creating online brainstorming/mind-maps for a whole class group that may be directed by the teacher, a student, or a group and that can also be linked /saved or printed immediately. From my perspective, working with students of varying needs, it is a way of easily capturing the information for them and ensuring that they get the most from discussions in class.
We also looked at http://www.edu.glogster.com/ as a multi media online presentation tool, while it has many clever features it looks clumsy to use.
Looking at http://www.prezi.com/,  a presentation program, in a sense it is like creating a large piece of butchers paper full  of information that can then be linked with paths to go from one idea to the next. I quite liked this concept and found it relatively easy to use. I would like to experiment further with this application as I feel it would be a useful and easy tool for students to use as apresentation format.
I found this session very useful, full of potential and I look forward to using these tools further.
