Module Five:
Today I learned the difference between Podcast and Vodcast. Podcasts (personal on demand) do not rely on traditional media and no satellites are needed. The three main stages in preparing them are: recording, publishing and publicising. Vodcast is a form of podcast except the difference is that video, voices and images are included, hence the V for video.

The photostory three program is free and can be used K-12 for digital storytelling. The process for developing a photostory is clearly explained and I can see great opportunities for students of all ages to use this, particularly in literacy. It would be a very attractive opportunity for students who learn so very differently these days and can utilise technology for a broad range of purposes.

Module Four:
Flickr is an online photo management application where you can store, share and edit photos.
I like the way you can do an advanced search on flickr instead of going to google images all the time. With regard to copyright it is important to use common sense and acknowledge the source. Using free for education websites is also a good idea as they are copyright free.

Module Three

Module Three:Google Docs Rocks-The greatest benefit I can see for google docs as a teacher is that groups of students can work on a shared task and the teacher can monitor who is doing what and comment on each person's contribution. It is also available 24 hours a day so it is accessible and feedback to students immediate.

Module Two:


I thought I was really clever by doing this at home myself in advance but I soon found out that I had not linked it to the CEO website. Hopefully it is all connected now.


I can see great benefits for students using blogs as learning journals to record and/or clarify their reflections. I also think that as a staff we could use blogs as a vehicle to discuss our ideas re the professional readings we do for staff meetings.

MODULE ONE: The first session was nowhere near as daunting as I expected. I am so motivated I am going on to session two to see what I can do independently then I will know what questions to ask when we get together again. So far...so good. C.F.
