Module 6

I really enjoyed this particular module. It was quite easy to develop a mindamap using bubbl.us and set up an account. This particular tool would be useful as a means of assessing students knowledge before a unit of work and after the unit has been completed to ascertain the growth that has occurred. It also provides valuable insight about the student's understanding of a particular topic.The arrows that connect sibling and child bubbles also reveal whether or not a student can connect the main ideas of a particular topic. I think glogster is aimed at students in the latter stages of primary school. Even at this stage it would probably be aimed at higher ability students as it explores public attitudes on complex issues. I feel this learning tool would be more appropriate for high school. The combination of text, pictues, video and audio provide an entertaining and informative presentation of an editorial cartoon.
