Here are some attempts I have had at image manipulation (using the free version only):. This is my photo, I have resized it here. Using these two technology tools also needs 'creative ...

Sam Martyn's learning e.journal: March 2010
http://sammartynslearningejournal.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sam Martyn's learning e.journal. Tuesday, March 23, 2010. I hadn't even heard of RSS (Really Simple Syndication)feeds until I was at the Uni residential school in February in Rockhampton. I admit I had seen the icon on websites, but had no idea (and honestly no desire to know) what it was used for. In our courseware, Aldred, S (2010) provided a link to the following you tube video, which explained everything in a nutshell . Which we are trying to move towards in all 21st century classrooms. Throughout th...

Sam Martyn's learning e.journal. Friday, April 2, 2010. Voki's (speaking avatar) in the classroom - Brilliant! If my children are a good example of children in the 21st century. Voki's definitely have a place in the classroom! When I found out that we could actually make our own, on the voki website, I was keen to learn how. When I realised how easy it was, I let the kids have a go . now they won't leave me alone, they're always wanting to make them! I would most likely use them as the "hook" for a learn...

Sam Martyn's learning e.journal. Friday, April 16, 2010. Image courtesy of ETC. I have not had the pleasure of seeing an Interactive White Board (IWB) in use first hand. There is one in the classroom where I am doing my EPL, but I have been informed that there is no software at the moment to use it. The teacher has contacted the technicians for the school and they are in the process of getting it up and running. I had never realised the potential of the IWB's until I viewed a you tube video. I talked to ...

Sam Martyn's learning e.journal. Monday, March 22, 2010. Wiki's in the 'real world'. Throughout this course I have heard the term 'Wiki' being thrown around quite often. Not wanting to admit my ignorance, I chose to keep telling myself, "You probably wouldn't need to know this, this is for the. Members of the group", which certainly didn't include me! Next I see this. OK Bring it on! After engaging in the week 4 courseware, I was totally inspired by. To my suprise, I created. Relate: The students in a Ho...
