The Future of Mobile Learning Presentation



1. Was the software user-friendly?
-Well, it is kind of user friendly. As long as the downloads were successful.

2. Did the software have extra useful features to enhance your presentation (or just minimal)?
-Not really. Because you had to download it from your powerpoint and when you have to edit something you had to go back and redo your powerpoint presentation.

3. Is the software specifically useful for teachers?
-It's just as similar to the powerpoint we use on our computers it's just that with slideshare you share with everyone else.
4. Would you recommend the software for other educators?
- I recommend it when we are using it for classes where you want the students to follow along with you to look at links. it is good to share with other teachers as well.
5. If you had a choice to use this software again for a presentation, would you use it?
-Yes! Most definately. Great to put up a slide of your pictures
6. What overall consensus rating would you give for this software 1- 10 (10 being the highest).
-I would say a 5 only because it gave me a hard time to edit and I had to reload the presentation. But I liked it!

Elluminate Live


1. Describe the experience with Elluminate Live.
I loved it! It was the first time that I have ever worked with a program like that. I loved it and I am most interested in doing it again. I learned a lot from it and you can share many things with other people.

2. What did you like? Dislike?
I liked, again, how we can all share information with eachother. It was very fun! I would like to use this in the classrooms. What I didn't like was that depending on the wireless signals in the area we can have good sound and communication. Without a good one, we tend to be cut off.

3. How would a distance-learning application like Elluminate benefit students?
They can learn about new things about other people and their communities. They can find out about what new cool things are going on in the mainland or anywhere else. You know how sometimes we are a little behind on technology and new things that come up, well, this way, we can keep in touch with others who can give us useful information.

4. What are some ideas that you learned from Bree?
I learned about some new cool sites that I can go on to teach my students. There were some I have never heard off. I am going to try it out for sure.

5. What will you take with you to explore in more depth? Why?
I will take into consideration that technology is in and a lot of the new generations are into it. So what better way to keep our students learning than to incorporate these cool ways they can learn through technology of the outside world. I will look more into what new ways to work with them to help them succeed through the ever changing world!

Picture trail presentation




1. Was the software user-friendly?
Yes it was. It was easy to use.

2. Did the software have extra useful features to enhance your presentation (or just minimal)?
There were a lot to choose from. You can change the way your slide show would appear. It was fun and very unique. You can add a lot of features to one picture or change it around when you like.

3. Is the software specifically useful for teachers?
I believe it is because they can control what kinds of pictures to put and what text to write in.

4. Would you recommend the software to other educators?
Most definately. It was so cool and the effects were awesome.

5. If you had a choice to use this software again for a presentation, would you use it?
Oh yes, most definately.

Photo editing assignment

1. Go through most (if not all) features of software.
I would say I liked the photobucket, fotoflexer, and lunapic sites. They were fun and very cool.

The only downfall was paying for more features. It would be nice if it was free.

The three sites I would say are a 10 for me. They were pretty cool.
