Presentations

Group 1 - E-portfolios

Group 2 - Twitter

Group 4 - Versal

Group 5 - Citation and Referencing

Group 6 - Social Media in the Classroom

All of the presentations were informative.  Some of the information I was previously aware of because I had done research in that area.  I had looked at using twitter in my classroom earlier in the year but instead opted for a twitter board where students make a tweet on paper about something they learned and post it in our classroom instead of online.  I had never heard of Versal so that was interesting to learn about.  Social media in the classroom is always a hot topic and comes down to do you use it or not.  I have used blogs in my classroom before but I find it hard to keep up with as new projects are constantly being introduced.  I use YouTube quite a bit for informational videos about how to do things or to inspire writing.  One website I had never seen before was http://powermylearning.org/ .  I am still looking at all the activities that it provides to see if I can incorporate them into my classroom.
