Reflecting on Flickr, BeFunky, Voki's, podcasts and Movie Maker

So, this week we were suppose to engage with numerous technological programs. I have to say I found them all pretty easy to use but that is probably because I have used most of them before or similar programs.

Flickr for me means not getting caught out on copyright thanks to creative connections. All you have to do is give attribution.

BeFunky is a great way for students to get creative with the images that they may have taken for projects or special classroom events. And it's FREE! :)

Voki's are another great way to engage students and to appeal to different learning styles. They are super easy to create and students can create their own personal voki and upload it to their blogs, wikispaces or weeblys.

Podcasts could be a great way to rewind the teacher or reach students who are away. There are many teaching opportunities here as mentioned in the earlier posting.

Movie Maker I have used numerous times through high school and uni. I always just found it a great way to get the message across by using multimodal features. It also ment I had fun being creatve in my assignments and also wanted to complete them. Movie Maker is simple to use and many primary school students would adapt to it easily.
