Monday, May 10, 2010. PowerPoint - A time for me to reflect on my personal growth and development with this tool. I found the video in week 6 quite amusing.

http://sammartynslearningejournal.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

I admit I had seen the icon on websites, but had no idea (and honestly no desire to know) what it was used for. In our courseware, Aldred, S (2010) provided a link to the following you tube video, which explained everything in a nutshell . Which we are trying to move towards in all 21st century classrooms. Throughout th...

Sam Martyn's learning e.journal. Friday, April 2, 2010. Voki's (speaking avatar) in the classroom - Brilliant! If my children are a good example of children in the 21st century. Voki's definitely have a place in the classroom! When I found out that we could actually make our own, on the voki website, I was keen to learn how. When I realised how easy it was, I let the kids have a go . now they won't leave me alone, they're always wanting to make them! I would most likely use them as the "hook" for a learn...
