Digital Tool: Zooburst


 Using zooburst I created my first digital pop up book book and even had it trialled by my six year old friend. Then we created another one together.






 Zooburst was fun to use and fairly easy. I used images provided by the program which is suitable enough for the primary school audience but delivered to a secondary school class probably wouldnt work so well.  The option of using uploaded images is available and could then appeal to older audiences. This could be used for information delivery through presentation or as students for assignments or review.

Strengths
- draws upon multiliteracies
- easy and simple to use
- fairly quick to develop
- open to imagination and creativity
- uses images and audio
Weaknesses
- could be too basic for older audiences
- image selection is limited
Opportunities
- makes reading interactive
- can turn boring text into an interesting experience
- great for reflection on an experiance (ie. excursion)
Threats
- childish - may make older audience feel like they are being treated like children
- public profile online
