This week kicked off with a great discussion on the topic of legal and ethical implications of using ICT's in the classroom and for personal use. It was brought to our attention that there are many rules and regulations of which we must abide by when useing ICT's.
As a learning manager, it is our responsibility to teach our students of these regulations and show them what we can an dcan not use. This includes certain music, pictures and videos that may be protected or copyrighted. We were alerted that we must take extreme caution when posting anything to the internet, even if it is only on there for a day or two. Even after deleting, it is still possible that it will remain somewhere up in 'cyber space'.
We were briefly shown some interesting ICT frameworks which can be used for our assessment task two, which included TPACK, Big Six and the LEarning Engagement Theory. I have not yet invstigated further, however the Big Six looks quite appropriate for what I will need in AT2.
Towards the end of the lesson we set up a Wiki account on (http://wikispaces.com/) which I can see will be an excellent recourse for the classroom. Finally we looked at (http://www.weebly.com/) which I was happy to have already worked with last year for SOSE. Our assignment for SOSE was to create a Web Quest by building a webpage on an environmental issue in our commnuity. This is what I created: www.water-wise.weebly.com
I cound Weebly was very simple for a first time user with step by step instructions of how to do everything, from adding a video, to hyper-linking my documents.
So far Managing eLearning has been a great subject with an endless supply of fundamental information and recourses.
Until next time.
