Module Four

This module has taken a little while to complete....I found Flickr not as user friendly as the previous web sites we were introduced to but I do think it is a great place to store and share photos.  In saying that, the copyright issue was confusing - I'm not very keen on having the public able to copy my photos, especially those of my children, hence choosing the settings for friends and family viewing only.

Module Three

What a versatile, user-friendly medium for sharing.  Instead of sharing my home with my childrens peers, dropping in to collaborate on group assignments, Google Docs allows them to collaborate in cyberspace.  I can see so many uses for this and as a School Support Officier, creating Word Walls with blank spaces could encourage children to memorize sight words and insert.
 Personally, I created a table listing equipment needed for an annual camping trip attended by mine and 5 other families. We share the supply and transport of equipment and through Google Docs we can all have input into what is needed, required and who can supply!

This is amazing!

Module Two

WOW! I'm blogging - You're a Blog-Star my 11yr old proudly stated.  And she is very proud of her mum, as I am of myself.  I can see that this platform allows students to share thoughts and ideas, instructions and comments that they may not normally feel comfortable about sharing.

Module One

I am a School Support Officer at Christ the King Primary School. 

Having the opportunity to learn as much as my own children already know about the Web, empowers me and I am feeling very positive about the next 9 Modules.  I thoroughly enjoyed learing about igoogle, creating and personalising my little bit of cyberspace.
