Has anyonetried using Prezi? I used it for a coolaborative task in Y10
and kids loved it. It is easy to learn, non linear and images, video are
easy to upload.

Hi all.  I'm in class now starting U1O3 - Issues Talks.  One of the
problems in the past is that groups of students had to create parts of a
slideshow separately and then stitch them together to create a coherent
show.

This year they're using Google Docs Presentation to work in teams on
their shared slideshow and they're loving it.  
An inadvertent benefit is that Google Presentations is spartan compared
to Powerpoint so kids are less tempted to waste time on shiny bouncy
special effects at the expense of content.

Google also provides Google Sites, which will be of value to ITA for
schools who can't afford Dreamweaver (or Notepad  )   

It's a shame there are no collaborative outcomes in units 3 or 4, but
when simulating virtual team tools, Google Docs will be a valuable tool
to consider.
