About Wikipedia

This lesson will give you another edge on what is happening in your student’s world. As with Blogs there are good things and bad things about Wikis. But the reality is you need to know about them.

Read what is it with Wikipedia?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4534712.stm

Here is one more article to consider:
http://kairosnews.org/developing-a-wikipedia-research-policy
Here is Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Questions
Use this encyclopedia. Look up a topic of interest.
1.Did you get good information? Your students will use this tool.

2.How can you encourage appropriate use?

Blog Spring 07

1. Read about My Space Review on Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySpace
It’s a long article, just scroll through it. Go from top to bottom and spend time on anything you haven’t seen before or any topic of interest. Be sure to glance through the whole thing,

2. Consider the most current happening
Virus Forces Users to Remove Infected Files http://www.crmbuyer.com/story/social-networking/54579.html

3.If you have a My Space blog, let us know how to find you and how to view your work.
If you have never been on myspace, create an account and go look around. http://www.myspace.com

As your instructor I used my AOB school account to create my blog.
Recently just for the experience I created a hotmail account that reveals absolutely nothing about me. I used that account to login to myspace to take a look around. If you are afraid to do that…….just remember don’t download anything. And also remember you really should experience this place first hand in order to form your own opinions.

If you are very familiar with my space you might want to consider looking at one of these websites instead.
Places you Should Explore
• http://www.Zanga.com                        Zanga
• http://www.bolt.com                             Bolt

Blue Group: Blogs

This summer I followed these prompts in a class I took with Norm Constantine from St. Mary's Annapolis. There are ideas we should discuss.

Please read the underlined articles and then tell us what you think of Blogging. Could a blog be useful in your teaching world? How?

There has been a lot of concern of late with http://MySpace.com, http://LiveJournal.com
and other teenage centers of expression. Some of the fear is justified but there is more to these sites that we often do not see from our perspective. Nothing Feels Good, http://www.eschoolnews.com/eti/2005/12/001246.php , by Tom Huffman in ESchoolNews sheds some valuable light on this subject that is worth considering before we dismiss these sites as just bad.

Now the flip side http://www.eschoolnews.com/eti/2006/07/001525.php

4 years ago

We have discussed many important topics and found many resources.
This week we will each create a formal plan for sharing at least one of these ideas with some colleagues at school. When I say FORMAL the format is up to you. This will be the type of plan that you would submit to a supervisor before a class visitation. If you don't have a format that your school uses, I'll be glad to provide one.
Your plan should include action items to motivate your audience.

In discussion keep a running log of ideas until, by the end of the week, you attach your plan.

Here is just one more place where you might find ideas to share.

Blue Group: Internet Safety

The direct link to the Internet Safety webpage is http://ideas4us.com/internet_resources.htm
on that page I have many buttons leading to multiple resources. But let’s start with the Internet Safety PowerPoint presentation. . There are 3 options for viewing the PowerPoint, my favorite is Option 2 but if one doesn’t work try another.

In that presentation there is a picture of me on my space, actually it is a picture of my dogs but that’s the point, I claim it is me. And in the next slide is the invitation I received after creating a blog on my space. I think you’ll find it interesting.

All the links in the PowerPoint, or on the website are hot, they will take you to many resources. So let’s start exploring through the hot link listed above. As always I’ll guide you throughout the week.

Hope this is an important resource for you.
Thanks again for your dedication to learning through this course.

Blue Group: More About Blogs

Topic of the week: More about Blogs and Wikis

Creating a blog is not hard. Did you know that you can invite members or require participants to have an account? You can even limit who can and cannot reply. Not all Blogs have to be placed on a site for the world to see. You can create a private and secure blog.

1 Read the prompt on my blog, create an account for yourself or login with the account you created for your own blog. Please respond to the question on the Blog found at http://credline.blogspot.com/2006/07/blogging-some-thoughts.html

3. Take time to go to http://blogger.com and create a blog that could be used by your students or colleagues. Take the time to look at all the options. For me the hardest part is creating a user name and password that I will remember. Perhaps it is not a good idea to have a secret place to keep all user names and passwords but I need to do that to survive.
Give us the URL of your blog

once your Blog is created save the URL so you can find it.

You can also find it on the Blogger Dashboard

Please read it and respond.

Here is a blog I keep that I add to periodically. I havent posted since Feb 2007 but you are welcome to look at it.

Cyber Ethics sp07

Whether the issue is web etiquette, citing web cites, or other legal issues, can teachers take for granted that students understand the serious consequences of their behavior? Do adults understand? Think about the huge issue of cyber bullying or kids stealing music from the Internet. Tony's source has some incredible resources to review in these matters.

http://www.doe.virginia.gov/VDOE/Technology/OET/internet-safety-related-resources.pdf

There are multiple resources for varying age levels on the topic of cyber ethics here, too.
http://teachers.archbalt.org/credline/cyber_ethics.htm

In order to make this discussion different from the one we just finished, choose one site that seems interesting to you and give us your report on the site. Give us the direct link in your review. Hopefully, we will give reports on many different sites with many different ideas.

Have you had any real life experiences with cyber bullying, internet theft etc?

Did you find any sites with real life stories that might bring the point more clearly to your students?

Tech Plan Lessons:

Before we begin a sample tech plan for your school, it is important to have some guidelines.

In order for a school to develop a good technology plan, writers need resources. The first resource we will study is the factors of viability.

Please carefully read the factors of viability written for all our schools as guidelines to good practice. All principals have copies of this document. The FACTORS OF VIABILITY are found in PDF format here: http://ideas4us.com/tech_plans.htm

Questions for discussion:
1. Which of these factors will be a challenge for your school to follow?
2. Of what value are these factors?
