This weeks activities involved the use of digital interactive technologies such as PowerPoint presentations, Prezi and Glogster. PowerPoint is quite easy to use but has its limitations and is now considered very much "old school". After playing around with all of them I decided to present on my blog my Prezi presentation. I loved the Zooming capabilities of this program and it was great to be able to take my readers and listeners on a journey.
Group 4:
Wow i have to say group 4 technologies really piqued my interests. The Zoobox was a particular favorite of mine, Its like a popup interactive story book and Museumbox was another new and interesting digital technology that I think would be exciting to use in a classroom. Both were a little bit confusing to use but given more time I would really love to explore these two technologies more.
Google maps and Google earth are another 2 digital technologies that I use alot and I think would be very relevant in the Secondary Science classroom. From tracking whales across the Atlantic to seeing a birds-eye view of the Great Barrier Reef and the Tropical Amazonian Rainforests these tools have so much potential for activities in the classroom.
Google maps is an easy tool you can use from your desktop browser. Google Maps
In Google maps all you have to do is type in the address you would like to view and depending on how many match that search you click on the one you want and it will take you to it. You can view satellite images of your search, find out what the weather is like, get directions, view the neighbourhood.
