Final Project

It was nice having clarification on the final project and analysis. It is nice preparation for the 894 project. I will definitely use this as a template. Walter shared his expert Web 2.0 tool with us about educational Comic tools. He gave us a brief history of comics that was very informative. I use Comic Life with my students and they just love it. It is a great way for them to introduce themselves at the beginning of the year and it works so well in science, especially when students are experimenting. They take pictures to document their research and add captions to describe what is happening in each step of the processes. He gave us a resource called pixtin which is a nice resource. Using comics for social networking is an interesting way of approaching the idea. I would not have thought of using it in that format. Comic Creator is a nice resource too.

Concrete learning is effective and memorable situations. We revisited the Web 2.0 activity we participated in on the first day of class, focusing on education. Web 2.0 has countless tools which will come and go. However, the education empowers the learners and opens up possibilities for global learning. There is so much possibility to understand content and access information.
