Module 3

Google docs makes perfect sense and is a great application for saving time and simplifying life. I am often confusing documents saved under different names and which come from different sources and Google docs could be the solution! I also love the interactive nature of it and how it can be used collaboratively in schools. There are a multitude of ways that it could be used both in the classroom and with colleagues. As teachers we are always pressed for time and I can see that Google docs could be a great way for teachers to plan and update programs collaboratively from our own loungerooms. Also, it could be a great way for students to help edit and provide peer feedback for each other in the classroom. I'm looking forward to getting started.

Module 2

Module 2 makes blogging simple and I love the idea of using it in the classroom. Having browsed some of the blogs it makes me realise how motivating it can be for students to blog. It is great that they can have an audience beyond their own classroom and interact with  children all over the world. Also like the way that teachers can share ideas....I'm keen to try some of the Art projects posted by Kathy Barbro.
