Digital Futures - 2 - Moodle etc!

With Chris Meadows.

Moodle is only really useful to tutors, students can ask for things to be set up but cannot set thing up themselves. Various platforms can be embedded into moodle for others to see which is about the most useful thing for our group. Before the meetings today Chris had thought about different platforms that might be of some use to the group and categorised them into 5 sections as follows

  • Connect - Twitter, Email, SMS, Padlet, Facebook
  • Collect - Delicious & Deiigo (Online bookmarking with tags and public collections), dig, stumble upon, interest, google drive, dropbox, box.net, flickr
  • Curate - scoop.it, storify.com (Links all the various platforms)
  • Conclude - Blogs, Journals
  • Co-ordinate - Eventbrite (e-tickets, map, email list, print off attendee list, analytics)

Other useful platforms:

Google hangouts - similar to Skype but you can have multiple people talking at the same time.

Padlet - Brainstorming, organising tool, you can link out to a Facebook page

Mindmup, Mind meister, freemind, x mind, simple mind, my note - Main Map creator

Sketch book pro, Notability, Ink pad.

Pocket - Bookmark tool to read websites later.

if this then that - automation tool which makes recipes to link different platforms and perform different automated tasks

LinkedIn Groups - Handy to get involved as you can get jobs from this.
