Module Six:
This is the most difficult module so far. Having worked through it now I can see that students who do not like to write very much text would be motivated to use Bubbl.us as the 'bubble' begins quite small and expands as they add they text...not as intimidating as a blank piece of paper for a reluctant writer. It would also have appeal as a real audience can be generated in allowing parents, other teachers and students to have access to it.
Cathy I absolutely agree with you, many relkuctant writers are able to thrive in the digital world making learning more equitable. Teacher and students could utilise this application in a variety of ways. Often we start units of work with a mind map of prior knowledge, this is a new way of brainstorming! Bubbl.us mind maps can also be exported as images which teachers and students can use in presentations, wikis and blogs.
