Okay so I’m back after a small break (the reason is here). I thought I would re start by using my blog to pull together the varying thoughts I have on using socially based learning technologies in learning- not so much on their benefits as that’s been covered elsewhere but with regard to the nitty gritty of using these technologies, i.e. ‘how do I fit this into my assessment?’. benefits, and so for the next few weeks I’ll be focussing on blogs followed by wikis etc.

Digital story telling using Web 2.0

Interesting. Using web 2.0 technology to create a narrative and tell a story. The whole process appears to have been captured using screencasting software in which zoom-ins and motion were used to emphasis key points within the story.

Via the Bionic Teaching site (here) consider how this might be taken further: “You’ve got lots of room to play with this concept in a variety of subjects – history and English are pretty obvious but you could use it wherever there’s an interaction of objects and create a narrative around it. It’d work in chemistry (enzymes as instigators comes to mind), science (biomes, cell interactions) and government (it’d be a fun way to look at the bill to law process- maybe as a Google Map).”Could be an interesting way of getting students to outline and explore subjects / projects.
