Some thoughts about a workshop
The first workshop that we wisited today was about eTwinning tools. The workshop started with a very charismatic presentation about Flashmeeting by John Warwick. He gave us a good overview of Flashmeeting possibilities and illustrated it with various examples.
The next presenter – Christian Komonen introduced webmagazine- Magazinefactory. This is a tool that is well-known tool for many eTwinners. It was interesting to know, that Magazinefactory is developing and it is now possible to embed Youtube videos and interactive Google maps. Both above mentioned tools are easy to use. It is also important that the environments are safe to use for project work.
Thomas Maier finished the workshop with a talk about blogging and podcasts. He explained the notion of podcasting and also demonstrated how to use podcasts for project work and how to find good educational podcasts.
All the presentations were inspiring and interesting and it would be nice if the powerpoint presentations were put up into the blog, so we could go through them once more at home. Thank you for a wonderful workshop.
