Module 6

I enjoyed learning about both bubbl.us and Glogster in this unit and as you can see I managed to combine both applications together and post them on my blog! First I created a mindmap about my reflections of Web2.0 as a learning tool. I found that I had to keep each box fairly brief or it was hard to keep track of the mind map and read it easily. Then I made a mind map of French verb revision as an example of something I could use in class with my Year 8 students covering the verbs we have done so far. This is what I included in my glogster poster.

The glogster poster was a lot of fun to create - it took me a while to play around with all the effects you can add in but it was fairly straightforward to use. I can imagine my students loving glogster and it would be a great tool for them to create posters for the different topics we study. I can think of family, pets and food as topics in which this would work really well. I'll have to check if all my Yr 8s are over 13? It would also be great to create pages as a teacher to upload to the school network site for French - in fact, I think I'll try and link my glogster page so that it's ready to go for the start of Year 8 next year!

Until next module...
