THUMBS UP OR DOWN?

Hello teachers!










Here I am writing one more post that you might find interesting.
As you know, in our Masters’ we are supposed to work in different “missions” related to ICT, but in this case, we were asked to assess an e-project carried out by one of our last year classmates.
In this task I have evaluated the following e-project:
The e-project is about “Landscapes” and it’s really interesting how the author uses many tools to develop the topic. The main reason I chose it is because, at first sight, the topic looks too simple for developing an ICT project but I find quite interesting the way of carried it out.
At first, evaluating a project seems quite easy, but you have to pay attention to many details and to be analytic enough, that’s the reason why we use different rubrics to know which aspects should we bear in mind (if you want to know which rubrics I used please click here and here).
Once I had evaluated the project I had to make an online presentation to show my conclusions. I utilized a free online tool called https://www.genial.ly/Dashboard I had never used this website before and I really like it since it allows you to add plenty of resources such as links, pictures, slideshows and lot of contemporary templates.
The tool I have used is called Genial.ly

Moreover, this tool provides you their own pictures and images that you can add in your presentations. Using this resource, it’s not necessary to look for pictures on the internet and as a consequence, the license.
Initially, it is quite complicated to get used of managing the tool, above all adjusting the time you want every element to appear.
As I see it, evaluating an e-project helps you in the development of your own work. You can be aware of the improvements you can add, the organization, take some ideas… and pay attention to strengths and weaknesses of projects. Besides you can improve your critical thinking.
In conclusion, although this web is less intuitive than others (like Power Point) is more complete, different and catchy so I won’t doubt in apply it as a part of my classes and also in my academic life.
Here you have my assessment in case you want to have a look:
Thanks for visiting me and do not hesitate to add your comments and suggestions!

Ana.
