Need To Know Attribute Maps Presentations

What a good night we had last night! The class presented their Need To Know Attribute Mapping Presentation.  All of them were GREAT! First, Bill, Jess, and Kim did an excellent job with their facilitation.  Their introduction and conclusion were complete and right to the point.  It was good group effort, and of course, Billy's creativity paid off once again.  The individual projects were so good.  I like them all! Some of them even have links with extra information about the project, which I didn't even think about.  They look neat and very professional.  Also, it was very interesting to see how, even though we were all coming up with the same ideas, we expressed them in a very different way.

This is my Need To Know Concept Mapping

We started with the tool time presentations, but we didn't have enough time for everybody.  I have to say that I really, really liked Audra's Qwiki tool time.  I immediately downloaded to my iPhone.  I showed it to my daughters, and they also like it a lot.  I think that it is a nice application to share pictures with family and friends of different events, such as birthdays, graduations, a nice hang out with family and friends, weddings (right Audra), and any party that people do through the holidays.  However, it is also an application that can be used in the work environment.  For example, people can use it if they need to go to a different location to do research or any type of evaluation, for example.  They can take pictures, do a Qwiki, and transfer it to er is Prezi or PowerPoint, for example, and prepare a very nice presentation.  Stockton, for example, could use it when they do their open houses.  They could take pictures of every step and posted on the website, so that new students and parents can get familiar with the college and where they need to do and go during the opening house, so that when it is their time, it runs easier and smoothly for them.  I am sure there are many other ways in which this application can be used.  Thank you Audra!

I was one of those who didn't have the chance to present a tool time last night, but I will do it next week. 

Last night, the facilitators for the next concept mapping, self-concept, were assigned.  Audra and I will be working on it.  She is extremely creative, and I am confident that we will put together a very nice project.
