Concept mapping tools
of eLearning. Today we have seen some great examples of how eLearning can be used in the classroom. The real challenge is to make the decision about when to use this type of learning as opposed to concrete materials, or other activities. Maybe this can only come with experience!! I am looking forward to finding new tools, and vehicles to engage children. I have had a play on bubbl.us - a concept map builder, and have created this concept map to ask the question - What is eLearning? I will add to it as I journey through this course.. Feel free to give me any suggestions.

Love the use of the concept map in your pose, Karen! Hm, might have to use that myself in future.. :) I like your comment about when to use this type of learning, as it clicks with my own outlook towards technology in the classroom. I also look forward to seeing the technologies, tools, and digital pedagogy in future lessons.

Suggestions? Only one, perhaps... your first entry didn't have a title? :D

Loving this "lost in cyber place" title.

Totally agreed with what you said about making the right decision when it comes to selecting a tool. Chosing one the is too hard or too easy can cause problems...but teachers need to always have a pack up plan in their head!

You mind map looks great so far. You could even add something about how eLearning could solve behaviour problems in the classroom.
