Comments on Jodi Zeigler's UDUTU

Well done Jodi!

Your UDUTU presentation on the The Effects of Tobacco was clear and informative.
You have an excellent presentation voice that kept me interested in review each slide.
Your use of multi media selections act as a powerful deterrent to tobacco smoking.

I liked your section on the social and emotional effects of smoking.
Your use of quizzes allows for engagement with the presentation.

As a suggestion:
Think about adding additional links to other health related concerns about smoking.
For example the new campaign called 'Shards of Glass' allows for people to see the business side of promoting smoking:

Comments on Classmate's Donna Thomas' UDUTU

Congratulations Donna!

Thank you for introducing me to goanimate.com as I think it is a great idea for supporting digital media literacy.You present the application clearly that engages the viewer to want to test run Go Animate. I think educators and learners would want to explore this application across the disciplines.

Suggestions:
Some of the slides were repetitive of the same slide. (I might have an older version of your presentation.)

Well Done!

Comments on classmate Dana Khols' UDUTU

Excellent Idea Dana!

I think your UDUTU presentation can be used a an introduction to web 2.0 applications for both educators and learner interested in knowing what is available and free to use. I think you say it best:

"The Udutu course focuses on creating a Professional Learning Network using iGoogle. We teach the faculty to use Twitter, Facebook, and Google Reader via iGoogle. We also provide an explanation of each for those faculty members not familiar with these tools."

I will use this presentation in my department meeting as I introduce a plan for supporting digital media literacy.

Thank you!
