technology for eLearning

so i have taken another look around the internet and realized i could revisit the Presentation aspect of lecturing,

Prezzi: one of the better alternatives to PowerPoint (which to be fair has its uses, given the right situation) is relatively interactive, meaning to say you can zoom into and pin point any given slide at any given time.

Spicy nodes:
another useful tool for presentations, similar to prezzi, the lecturer can set different spider diagrams to evolve from a central spider. the central point of each spider can be an image or embeded video.

Emaze:
this software is a wonderful alternative to powerpoint as it has an easier, more aesthetically pleasing layout

skype for lecturing

in my own opinion, this would be an ideal way of conneccting with an absent learner, this is because the lecturer can call through with the seminar or similar activity with the group and the learner will not miss out on seeing and hearing the topic.
another advantage of skype is the Text typing, so during the group disscussion, the learner can formulate answers/opinions and send them in for screen display.

so for skype in education, it is a rating of 5/5

STRESS

well...what an eventfull day,
             the first day back on placement, we had to clear up the mess from the people who had hired the bbc building for a fortnight. they left it in a right state. As if that weren't enough, in the presentations, one of the students went on a rant about how she felt left out and that she felt that everyone was against her...Right...! but i must keep a professional head, well, try and not get stressed. song of the day: JUMP-Van Halen.
