June 5th, Day Two!

Today class was loads of fun!  I enjoyed the collaborative atmosphere (thanks to our professor, Jean, who told us he believes that learning occurs best when it is shared rather than by reading or writing essays!).  I enjoyed using Titanpad and I can see that it could be used in different ways in the classroom.  I particularly like how Titanpad colour-codes text according to the participation of the collaborators.  This would be a useful feature in the classroom, giving accountability to each student in a group project.  After playing around with Titanpad, Jean gave us a demonstration of Skype. We then transitioned into using Google Docs, writing a document and an accompanying powerpoint.  All the software we used today were easy to use, useful, and fun!
