Wiki

Today I learnt how to make a wiki. A wiki is a collaboration tool where pages can be changed and published straight away. Within our class we made a wiki page where all of us were able to make pages. Down below is a link to the page.

Our wiki was about 'Technology through the ages.'

This was the home page and you were able to edit it at any time. I was able to add images, change the font, add colour, add links etc.

You were able to click on the different pages which were allocated on the right side of the page. For example I selected 'Education and Technology in Niger'. I was able to add information, pictures and videos to any of the pages which i selected.

Wiki's are great to use in an educational environment as anyone can add information, delete information, add pictures, add videos, or comment on the different pages. This is great for learning as a teacher can use this for the class to discuss new information. 

Today I made a movie on iMovie. I decided I was going to focus on different learning contexts. Firstly I had to download the images and then import the pictures onto my iMovie.

I had to import the pictures in the order i wanted to use them. I found this straight forward and easy to do. I then wanted to add a title so i clicked on add title like below, i was able to add a title anywhere on the movie, but i decided to add it onto the picture i selected 

It allowed me to add a title to each of my slides. I then decided to add a transition to each of my slides.

This was also simple and easy to do. I added different transition's to different slides for example i added a fade in transition to make the previous photo fade in to the next photo. 

It was easy to add music as it was connected to my iTunes. I decided to add the song 'photograph' by Ed Sheeran. As I thought it was relevant. 

I only had to drop and drag down the song to where i wanted it to be played from. 

I then had to import it into my blog this was also very easy and straight forward 

I found this app 'iMovie' very straight forward, it was more focused for older children, but i believe children would be able to use this app. I would use this app again if i had to make another video. I would use this app in a school environment as I think children and  teenagers would find it easy and practical to use.

This is my final video.
