Week 3 PMI

Week 3:

This week during our computer time it was great to see how easy it was to use wikis, weebly and blogger after some physical help. This is where is always seem to struggle as I am a kinaesthetic learner I need to be shown to learn these tools. Overall it was a good week and I did feel a little more confident about the 3 ICTs that were covered.  

Wiki:

Overall I Like using wikis they provide a very good basic layout which is interesting and applicable to everyday people. There are simple enough instructions and what I would call user friendly options. There will always be that global use going on in your head but by making the wiki private it brings the usage of wikis back into the picture.  

+Plus+	-Minus-	?Interest?
·         Easy tool bar to navigate through modifying your wiki ·         Can make the wiki private, invitation only ·         Collaborative overall theme	·         Online threats from other people ·         Initially setting up the wiki was a little confusing	·         Can change your design of wiki, layout and colours ·         Can keep tabs on viewers usage

Blogger:

Blogger is a useful online tool as it provides you with complete control as to what goes onto the blog and exactly what is said. There is ample room to upload multi modal devices. This would definitely be something I would consider using in the future.

+Plus+	-Minus-	?Interest?
·         You can upload endless amounts of pictures, videos and web links. ·         Able to edit your work and post what you like ·         Multiple uses not just for school use, personal sue is also available ·         You can control who is following your blog	·         Cannot link the comments to online threads just that particular work ·         Have to add urls to follow people	·         Can change your design of layout, make it to your liking ·         Easy to navigate around people blogs as well as following links

Weebly:

I was first exposed to weebly last year and from having experience I would definitely use it again. It provides easy enough explanation of the set up process and allows for a lot of personal choice. This I feel would be best suited for an investigation style task as you can link a lot of things to your pages and follow this in an order of tasks.   

+Plus+	-Minus-	?Interest?
·         Easily accessible to all students ·         Can make the page to your own preferences ·         You can upload endless amounts of pictures, videos and web links.	·         Cannot post feedback onto webpage ·         The page does go global so is open to everyone in the world	·         Can design to incorporate a learning journey/process ·         Because it is on the internet students can access this at home aswell
