Using www.box.com account

I have created a box account and shared it with my e-learning teacher. I have used the box account to store and manage some of my e-resources. This is my main folder for this course which holders all subsequent folders and resources

My main folder currently has two main folders, one for my e-resources and the other for screen dumps pictures etc. Finally my assignment checklist is stored at this level

Below are two screen dumps (created through using the snipit tool) of some of the resources etc I have stored in my box account

Twitter - Jamal Edwards visit

After being baffled by Twitter I finally was able to use it for the first time when Jamal Edwards a successful young entreprenuer (ex-student) came to talk to students at the college. Here is the link to my Twitter feed and evidence of my first few tweets. Many of the students were from our level 2 and level 3 business groups. They asked Jamal lots of questions but I managed to capture only some of his replies...

Using the timer from ClassTools.net.com

Using the ClassTools.net 'timer' tool. I would select the Avengers theme for this timer tool. As this resource has both visual and audio elements it will enable all students in mainstream education to access this tool

Using Random name generator from ClassTools.net

Random name generator I have created a random name generator for my tutor group. I will use this in class and during tutorials to select learners. This resource will enable me to ensure that all students are able to participate in class especially if I use the facility to remove names after they have been used.

The Dustbin game - from ClassTools.net

I have created this short dustbin game for my L3 marketing class. This resource can be used as a resource for checking of learning or for learners to assess themselves independently. This could also be used as a whole class activity. This resource is also accessible to most learners whether they are at home or in the class as it can be accessed from most devices with internet connection. Learners who have physical impairments could 'buddy up' with another learner who could perform the key strokes for them.

My second audioboo recording

listen to ‘Second audioboo recording’ on Audioboo

Using podcast with resources such as audio boo can be very useful for use with students as it improves accessibility for learners making any-time any-place learning possible. These casts can be sent directly to learners, placed on Schemes of Work or the website link sent directly to learners.
