Where has the day gone?!
With the exception of the occasional knock on the door from family and friends and the routine visit to the clothes line, I spent most of Sunday online. I know, I can hear you say – oh Lina, get a life!!! Now that I’ve started students on this blogging journey, I’m finding I have a number of questions that I need to deal with.
My main concern at the moment is to encourage my pre-service education students to engage with the blogging process in an ethical and safe manner in the hope that they can make informed decisions regarding their use in educational contexts. During the initial planning of this unit I questioned whether I should set up the student blogs within our Learning Management System – I decided not to as this restricted access would impact their experience with blogs. Even though these are early days, after reading the students’ initial posts I’m pleased that I made this decision.
Now that I’ve let my students loose in the big wide world I realise the importance of making them aware of behaving ethically online. I found the following sites to be a useful start:
I would really like to know how you tackle the issue of behaving ethically online with your students?
