SWOT of group 3 tools

I have completed a SWOT analysis of the group 3 digital tools.

Although I think that I will use all three tools in my classroom the tool that I think that I will use the most will be powerpoint.  I not only see myself using powerpoint for presenting information to my students but also for the students to use and present their work.  I liked being able to organise my thoughts with concept mapping and outline my slides using word.  This made the task more structured rather than adding random thoughts on a slide

In the powerpoint that I created I touched on the idea of presenting findings from a field trip to the beach.  I think that this is a powerful way to present the whole of the field trip and a good support for oral assessments.  Students could created slides and add images and recordings of what they found on the day of the trip.  It can help them organise their thoughts and present them in a logical way.  The use of images/audio and video will help their audience visualise what they are talking about.

Being able to add links to other slides and home keys allow for easy navigation around the presentation.  This also means that you are create options for students to follow.

I really liked the idea of the mouse mischief using powerpoint.  A great way to interact with the audience and receive feedback on understanding.  I also like the idea of chosing to share my presentation with.  It can always be shared with the students so that they can access when needed.

I felt that prezi was a great alternative to powerpoint and a little more entertaining.  The zoom in feature is great.  Once again a clever way to present information with other media able to be added. 

Glogster is a really fun and creative way to share information.  The possibilites are endless.  I managed to upload mine to my wiki page which is a great way to share with teachers and students.
