I did as asked and created an account with Bubbl.us and created a flow chart based on the Web 2 course.
as you can see I have left several blank boxes on modules unfinished and have listed some of my thoughts and ideas. As I progress thru the rest of the unit I will go back and add more .
Glogster
I like the idea that students can create their own video or images and upload or embed into a blog. Can see many uses for teachers especially if the teacher has created a classroom blog
I particular like that the teacher has control of the students account and I especially like that each glogster edu account allows up to 200 students. Being the only computer teacher in the school signing up for accounts with student access is often restricted to 20 or 30 student accounts which is a problem when you have 3 classes of year 6 with 28 students in each . Having said that it was very annoying to click on link and see costs come up. I did manage to find a free section and after 5 attempts of a nickname with no characters ( missjane I thought was fine ) I successfully got in and created my gloster.

I found myself frustrated in doing it as it is not really user friendly and some things are not intuitive .
Activity 3
Using Prezi. Prezi looks like a great tool for creating far more interesting presentations. I really enjoy that zoom and movement effect. Unfortunately I do not have access to my school email account and as such will not be able to complete the full activity before 5th July deadline for this course so will look more closely at creating one after deadline.
Overall this module has given me several great ideas for using the tools in my classes this term . My brain is ticking away on how we can use both Prezi and Glogster next term. Keep watching and at the end of next term I may have several links to students work
