On to another topic...as I wrap up this blog for CI 556, I have to say that even though it was a requirement, I did enjoy having to reflect on class each week. This was a metacognitive activity which is really important. Even using blogs as weekly journals for students would force them to think about what they're learning and how they're thinking about it. Hopefully, I will continue to blog under another name or at least, make sure I keep up on others' blogs for helpful information. I'm really going to try.

Internet Security
I am writing a paper about using Web 2.0 resources during the writing process. Things like google docs, webspiration, etherpad, docstoc, and scribd. I need to include a part about concerns like security issues. My assumption is that if teachers get a parental consent form for setting up accounts with anonymous/pseudonyms that it would be okay with the district. Is that true? Anyone that is teaching right now, do you know if that would take care of it? All of those applications have built-in security features but to be able to have students make accounts is another issue. I'd appreciate any additional info. on this.

It's been a great pleasure reading your blogs over the semester. Thank you for sharing. I agree with you that blogs can be used as a wonderful tool for journal keeping. Also, it can also be used as a great platform for my L2 learners to practice their writing and peer evaluation/critique. As a teacher, I will also be able to provide advice and suggestions to their writing assignment. In fact, a lot of technologies introduced in class can be put to good use in facilitating teaching and enhancing learning. The choice is in our hands, how wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great resources and ideas you've shared this past semester! This blogging assignment was great for a lot of reasons, one of which being how much we learned from each other. We're all at different experience levels and I know being one of the younger graduate students, I've sure learned a lot from what others have shared. :)
