Blog post3_201013_week1

This is my artistic endeavour using Cacoo. Something of what my students will be able to do once they log into this site. I am really excited about this.

  1. Well Nicki, you have got to tell me more about this application. Also, please contact the teacher about the post naming conventions, you don't want to loose any points because of negligence or not knowing. (I believe its BP3_2010011_Cacoo) Her ichat is on the syllabus. Hope all is well.

  2. Hey Nandi, thanks for the heads up... I know I was having some issues with it, so I thank you for pointing them out.
    I eventually uploaded a pic of what I initially created when I first used the site.
    Instead of just using shapes to represent graphic organizers, I can use actual images which will give my students a clearer idea of what I am talking about. This site doesn't have all images, but with what is there, it is a start.
    Students can also use it to build a storyline with characters having conversations, etc.
    It is pretty cool and what I will be doing is giving my artists the option to use the site or hand in one of their own renditions and my artistically challenged students no longer will fear having to draw something. They can go to Cacoo to find the images and insert the text in order to complete their assignment.
