5. ❖ Glogster didn’t really work for me at school. That would make it a
major problem for students as it kept glitching as it loaded onto the
page. I also felt like the constant bombardment to upgrade and pay
more to use it was a bit much.
Challenges

6. ❖ Animoto seemed really cool, but I
also found it difficult to use. I’m
determined to master that one
though and will definitely be giving it
another shot in the classroom.
❖ The nature of Linkedin for self-
promotion was also tough for me. I’m
quite happy where I am in terms of
my job and it was weird to
constantly self-promote.
Challenges

7. ❖ This was my first course in several years. I was a wee
(childless) lass the last time I was in school and it was really
fun to get back into the swing of things - especially
electronically!
❖ I would definitely take a Moodle class again. I loved the set-up
and the ease of use. I also liked that I could easily track my
grades, get reminders about the class, and go back to look at
notes and instructions online.
