This is the first attempt at "blogging" and the first attempt at using the Inspiration software. The software is incrediably versatile and user friendly. It could easily be used to generate mind maps, for family history studies, science and sose reseach projects.

This week we have been exposed to MS Publisher. Whilst this is often overlooked, it readily comes with most MS Office packages, and is available in most schools and is a great tool for both teachers and students. Today we looked at how we as emerging teachers can use it to produce an e-portfolio, as we enter the interviewing world once we complete this course. This was an incrediable slap in the face for me, as I thought that a good old CV and cover letter would still be acceptable. Seeing how easy MS Publisher makes producing something as sophisticated as an e-portfolio is of huge benefit, and no doubt I will be playing further with the template that I have produced here in the workshop.
