Wow - now this to me is a very useful teaching tool.  I will definitely use this in the classroom.  This is my first Glogster and it may have taken a little bit of time but it was worth it.  A great tool for every teaching area.  Particular my two teaching areas (H&PE and Business).

For secondary students teacher support would realistically only be required for setup procedures and this would quickly reduce as this particular tool does offer a lot for each individual or groups own creativity and input.


I have chosen to do my analysis on Glogster and will use a PMI analysis on this particular tool.  I have chosen this tool as I believe it would be engaging to all year levels and allows for a variety of different options to provide input.

PREZI - on Business Studies - I made this Prezi and found it to be relatively easy. I thought I should change subjects as everything I seem to be doing has a Health and PE flavour to it.   Prezi presents itself as a useful teaching tool which can have many uses in the classroom and would cover a range of different KLA's.





INTERACTIVE POWERPOINT - on Working in a Coal Mine for Business Students




I created this slide show on microsoft powerpoint and then uploaded it to slideshare.net so I could then embed it onto my blog.

This was easy to make and like the other group 3 tools is also an excellent tool to use in the classroom.  This tool can be used for any year level and for any KLA which makes it a very versatile.

As you can see I have aimed this slide show at business students to try and show what is required for gaining employment at a basic level onto a mine site.  I figure that if I am going to start creating these digital tools, I may as well use it as an opportunity to start my portfolio.

I have added all these three creations as listed above to my website which I intend to now use as my online filing cabinet for future teaching needs and resources.
