JOURNAL ZONE™
FROM LCSI IS NOW AVAILABLE!
MONTREAL – Logo Computer Systems Inc. (LCSI), today announced
the availability of Journal Zone™, its first online
tool for reflective collaboration. This new innovation from
LCSI represents a breakthrough in educational computing.
Journal Zone™ is predominantly a "journal" that
supports reflective learning within a social context. It can
be used within a classroom or the user can join other
classrooms from around the world. As a classroom tool, Journal
Zone™ integrates three common practices of
exemplary teaching -journal writing, collaboration, and
scaffolding.
Journal Zone™ is a cross-curricular tool designed
for grades 3 and up. It can be used in all subjects of the
curriculum. As a collaborative journal, Journal Zone™,
allows students to keep track of their thoughts and plans,
discuss their project investigations and make dynamic online
presentations. The product works well either in a lab or
within classroom based computers. Journal Zone is available in
English, French and Spanish.
The software is comprised of a graphics, journal text and
comments area. In the graphics area, students can present
their ideas visually, using objects, backgrounds and
animation. However, in the journal text area, the owner of the
page enters text. This text may be plans, reflections or the
project information itself. The comments area allows students
to comment on journal entries of others or even respond to
someone else's comments.
