Blogging ... now bubbling and glogging ... my head is swimming with a new language! How much I will remember is hard to say. So I better start blogging before my brain starts blubbing.
Blubbr.us is easy to use and I can see an immediate role in my classes, especially in Years 11 and 12. In fact I created a mind-mapping tool for use with my 2 Unit SOR class. We've started working on St Paul as our Significant Person in Christianity and the bubbl (I want to put an"e" on the end of that word - but I am resisting ...) will be quite helpful. Imaging a mind-map with the tools bubbl has should make life a lot easier - for me as well as for my students.
Glogging. I'll be honest. I don't see much use in my classes. It was amusing and time consuming! I spent at least an hour or so on the Glog (before I realised I hadn't followed the instructions properly. Well I did make a clever collage of some travel photos and included a YouTube clip). It might have a practical use for junior years - for poster presentations, especially with the sound and visual applications. Did I enjoy myself? Not really. Feel free to have a look and let me know what you think.

Completely agree with you on Glogs. Just a bunch of bells and whistles but light on the content side.
ReplyDeleteGood use of Bubblr.us and agree with your comments on Glogs. Would be good if they could combine it with our current blogging program to pu it all into one.
