I'm not sure whether we in Melbourne were supposed to do this Module but I thought as we are learning new Online web tools and skills it wouldn't hurt looking at it. So I did. I thought the Bubble Us was a good useful brainstorming tool that could be used even in the classroom as a tool to teach children to brainstorm. Rather than have it on sheets of paper that will eventually be thrown out or filed amongst our ever growing hard copies, it would be much better to save it online where it can be retrieved and reused at a future stage without all the extra hard copies.
Picaso is very similar to windows media as well as all the other places you can store photos and images. My only problem with this is that you are doubling up on all these images. Between the Microsoft documents where we save images and videos, we can also save them to Dropbox and I Cloud and Sugar Sync. Do we really need all of these places to save all these pictures? Why can't just the media files designed for the computer be good enough to store there and one in our virtual world? I have a concern that there will be so much space used on the computer that we won't have enough space to save other documents. Otherwise I can see it is a good tool. Therefore is it better to use Picaso that Windows media? I would appreciate any ones thoughts about this. Maybe that's why we didn't have this as part of our Module work.
As for Prezi I didn't sign up as I didn't feel comfortable about giving our school website without permission from my Principal.
