Module 9


SCOOTLE - wow... what an awesome interative and collaborative learning tool.


The issue that i have is trying to get access to this site... i had access when i was working at De la Salle College Ashfield. For those trying to access Scootle you need to contact either Adrian Brown or  Cheryl Fahey... who will send passwords etc.

I am waiting for login and password... will update feedback shortly


 SOCIAL NETWORKING


I am not a fan of Facebook - i like keeping my personal life private and to myself. Particularly being a teacher my personal privacy is extremely important.

I agree with the comment made in Module 9 - The use of collaboration tools such as blogs, wikis and nings for learning with students is recommended. Personal social network sites such as Facebook and MySpace are not. 
I love using NING with my classes - especially Year 12 Geography. Students are able to contact you via NING... you can attach videos, photos, blogs, forums, documents and  have discussion etc.. All things that have been shown in previous Modules to date. Students are also able to add to the site - before content is added to the site it is sent to me for approval. A good way for monitoring what is on...
