Module 4

wow, flickr. This website has huge potential both professionally and personally.

I can definitely see myself using this application for personal digital photos. At present I have numerous files containing my digital photos, which no one can see, now that I have learnt about Flickr I will be able to upload my photos for friends and family to view. My photos now will no longer be stored in the darkness of my computer waiting to be viewed.

Professionally, it will give students a chance to shareo take photos that are part of assignments or excursions or more science specific experiments with other students, students friends and families. It will allow others to take a sneek peek at what we have been doing in class and/ or on our excursion. Photos from excursions and significant events at school where alot of pictures are taken can now be put up for others to see.

Module 3

I have found Google docs to be an effective tool to use in the classroom. I feel that this resource will allow me to have more collaborative tasks within class. Particularly in Science I feel that Google docs could be of great use with the students. I could use this resource when students do an experiment, that is, students from within the group can complete sections of the experiment and share their part with the rest of the group. this tool could also be used for group assignments, so there is no excuse for students not participating in the group assignment because they can all have access to the assignment online.

I look forward to using this with my students to create collaborative pieces of work.
