1. What tool did your group use to deliver the PD tutorial?  Why?
   Our group chose Toondoo. It uses a cartoon set-up with easy to use clip art. The nice thing is that it seperates its clip art into many different categories. It also allows creation of new characters along with bringing in material from the outside. There is a character bubble tab to give your characters voices and doodler tab to draw your own inventions. It allows the students to show their creativity while reviewing class material. I do like the sharing it with friends feature to allow sharing of student emails or the teacher.

2. What did you learn during the development process of the final product?
   The ability to have a web conference with people anywhere. I really enjoyed the camaraderie that I developed with my group. Doing the storyboard as a group was great for editing. We were able to talk to each other about ideas or what to change. They taught me about Camtasia, improving my blogs and other presentations. There were certain tabs in Toondoo I had overlooked that Catie, Scott and Jen had used. I used them and found them fun and easy to use. I really enjoy importing pictures with the imaginer and drawing on them for my science classes.

3. What would you do differently if you had to develop a similar product again?
   If it wasn't for the storyboard and group discussions, I wish I could have had more input into the final product.  As a group, we liked how the Camtasia audio would come through on Adobe Connect for our presentation and felt this was the best way to present our project. I wish I had Camtasia but did not feel I should put in for the free 30 day trial as class was just finishing up. However, I will see if there is any chance our school system is looking into buying it.
