Hello,

This semester is going far too quick! I feel like all I have been doing the last few weeks is assignment after assignment after assignment.....! I thought I had finished assignment 2 for EDN113, I did a last check through the assignment details and realized that I needed one more reference! I thought we only need five references but upon re-reading the brief it actually says more than five! :( So that is what I am going to do now, find another reference. I found it extremely difficult and time consuming to find a conference paper on my chosen topic. So I will probably be looking for something more like a journal article, website or video.

One reference that I used for assignment 2 was a website that talks about interactive pop-up books. For my topic, history, I believe they would be a great tool to use with students. They can create/re-create moments in history and present it to their peers. Here is an example one which is linked to the main web page.

                                        
As you can see the pages turn like a proper book and the images pop-up. The students are able to click on the exclamation mark in the speech bubble to see what the characters are saying or for more information.
You can see the full example on this link

I am feeling happy with my efforts for this assignment, it truly proved to be more interesting than I had first thought. Then to get a crack on the third assignment...it has proven extremely difficult to get started on this one because my group and I have trouble finding the time to meet up and organize things. Also with all the other assignments that have been due, and thinking that we have ages before the third assignment is due has set us back a bit! But I have great people in my group and our idea is great!


Until next time...
