WHAT IS IT?

Describe ONE way in which you can use this tool in

your learning area/subject

Wiki

A wiki is a website that uses wiki software, allowing the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked (often database) Web pages. Wiki software is a type of collaborative software that runs a Wiki system. This typically allows web pages to be created and edited using a common web browser. It is usually implemented as an application server that runs on one or more web servers. (1)

I could build a website that learners can be able to collaborate and share ideas to achieve common outcomes.

Jabber

In computer networking, the term Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) refers to the size (in bytes) of the largest PDU that a given layer of a. Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is an open, XML-based protocol originally aimed at near-real-time, extensible instant messaging. (2)

 Install a jabber net work which will help Learners to send one another Extensible Messages based on school work which will benefit them to learn more effective. If learners don’t understand they can always send me Extensible Messages for academicals work.

Podcasting

A podcast is a series of digital media files, usually either digital audio or video that is made available for download via web syndication. The distribution of multimedia files over the Internet for playback on a mobile device, often in MP3 format. (3)

I will use images to help learner to visualize what I am teaching them. And it will allow me to send them multimedia files and the usage of videos will breed positive result because some learners prefer visual education.

Tumblr

Tumblr is a blogging platform that allows users to post text, images, video, links, quotes, and audio to their tumblelog, a short-form blog. A tumblelog (or tlog) is a variation of a blog that favours short-form, mixed-media posts over the longer editorial posts frequently associated. (4)

I will open a discussion were learners can be able to post one another ideas, and it won’t cost them any thing to post using the school computers. We will discuses issues like economy growth, inflation and many more.
