ICT Education, Week 5

Well we just finished week 5 so we are over half done our term!

Week 5 went good as we covered lots of different topics and different programs.

We looked at bookmark organizers like diigo and pearltree. Pearltree isthe one that I would prefere to use. It looked more user friendly to me. On Tuesday Mike showed us his prezi's presentation. I thought that was really neat and interesting. When making my next presentation I intend to use a prezi because I found that a lot more entertaining then a regular powerpoint presentation so I am assuming my future students would appreciate it more as well! We also talked about a great program called audacity for finding creative commons music that we can add to our presentations. This is great because music makes a presentation that much more intereseting.

We also looked at the SMARTboard. We talked about;

·         Calibration
·         SMART Ink
·         Shapes on screen; rotation, size, copies (ctrl + D)
·         Using markers.
·         Useful for presentations.
·         Word recognition.

Mike also showed us this little guy doing some sweet trick shots!
