Thing Fourteen


I explored Gliffy and Bubbl.us these are both great sites for brainstorming activities and would be fun for students and teachers for class projects. Gliffy has more options for creating different types of flow diagrams. It will also allow you to create and design a room, which I found interesting. Bubbl.us was just mind- mapping and would be great for organizing projects. I liked both sites but Gliffy was my favorite because it had more options to explore and use. I am planning to teacher younger children and do not think that I can incorporate this into my class but will keep it in mind when I do start teaching.  I can see teachers using these sites to organize class events, activities, and fund raising projects.

Thing Thirteen

This is the drawing that I created in Google doc. I can see where student would enjoy creating pictures and writing paper in this program.  There are many cheaper more affordable computer but they usually lack the programing to create documents such as this. Being able to create and use this programs on the web, rather than buying the expensive word programs makes it more affordable and attainable for all students. Students could collaborate on many different group projects, such as science projects by using this online web and each student in a group could contribute their part.
I did my drawing on Google Doc which you can find here: https://docs.google.com/?authuser=0#all for free. Another site that I looked at was Zoho Writer found here: https://writer.zoho.com/home and I did not see much difference between the two site. As usually I just stuck to what I am more familiar with and that is Google.
