Journal 6A

1. I really liked this program. I thought it was really cool and a great organizer for me and could be for students also. I also liked the variety of the pictures to choose from and how they were so easily inserted. Another cool aspect of this program is the choice of layout. I could either choose to enter the information through a outline format (which is what I chose to do) and then click on diagram and it would have one made for me to edit as I would like or I could choose the diagram tab and then look at it in a layout format if that was what I preferred. It was very easy to navigate through and the pictures were amazing. I felt like this was a really well designed program.

2. I could incorporate this program into the classroom very easily. In front of the class when we are brainstorming I could use this tool on the big screen so the who class could view it or I could organize it into an outline for everyone to see. It would be nice for the kids to have an input on what goes into the brainstorm and choose cool pictures for it. It makes the process more interactive which is always a plus.

3. I did not have to access Atomic Learning much throughout this project because it was so simple to use (which is amazing coming from a weak technology background). As stated before, Atomic Learning is a great tool for support for questions about these programs.
