CHECK YOUR DRAFT POSTS

There are large numbers of draft posts in the Edit Posts section. I am going to leave these here until the end of November, then have a clear out.

You've got a couple of weeks to look at these, and post them if they need to be posted. If your draft is not needed any more, please delete it to save me the job.

Checking your drafts - go to the Posting tab, click on Edit Posts. You should see a list of posts and drafts - you should now be able to delete your own drafts. If you have a draft of something that has now been posted - delete it.

HEADINGS ON POSTS

I notice that lots of the headings to the recent posts are very similar - of course you are doing similar work, however, it makes it easier if you try to make them different. That way you can find your own posts far more easily in the list on the right hand side.

Please try to make your post headings clear, descriptive, and different to other posters.

This is awaiting text - due to technical problems



Whatever this says at the bottom - it was posted by Halo-pro

WHAT CAN I POST?

REMINDER - All posts on this blog must be related to your ICT lessons. I have deleted two posts that were about other things.

All students MUST read the guidelines for posting and add a comment to say that they have understood them BEFORE they post anything.

So what can I post?
  • Post completed work that you are pleased with - so that the blog becomes a gallery of good examples of work - clearly mark these as COMPLETE or FINISHED.
  • Post work in progress that you are looking for advice and comments on.

Other ideas

  • Post what you have learned in doing a task. Or problems with something that you have overcome - how did you solve the problem?. Other people can learn from what you have written. When you explain to other people you are helping your own learning.
  • Post about tasks that you enjoyed and why they were interesting.
  • Post your personal targets for ICT - what NC grade are you aiming for by the end of the year? What will you need to be able to achieve that? What software will you need to learn to use? What skills do you need to develop? (examples: reviewing and evaluating your work, awareness of audience,
  • Ask for help or advice on things that you are finding difficult.

Comments

Remember to read other students' posts, and add helpful comments. Let them know if you found something interesting or helpful.

Blogging guidelines for students

ALL STUDENTS MUST READ THIS POST

When you have read it please post a comment to say that you have read and understood it.

This blog has two purposes:
  1. to practice a variety of uses of electronic communication - ie: e-mail, blogging and uploading photographs, posting of material on another web-site, linking to other material, etc.
  2. to practice evaluation of work and helpful criticism of other students' work

When can I post to the blog? You can check and post to the blog at school or at home. However, remember the importance of time management in school - if you have work that should be finished by a deadline, or you have got a backlog of work, then it is not appropriate to spend very much time checking the blog in a lesson.

Checking your comments. If you post some work for consideration by other students, then remember to check to see if others have made comments. Remember that the comments may come from students in another class.

BEFORE YOU POST

Remember this is a public blog.

All students should post at least once during the year. Remember that you are looking for helpful feedback on your work, so think about what it is you want to know.

Posting for help while you are working on a task. If you are adding work for comments then don't wait until you have finished it. Put it on towards the end of a lesson, and look at the beginning of the next lesson to see if there are useful comments to help you improve it. If you are looking for specific help, then explain what it is you need help with - for example, you might ask for comments on whether the background and text are suitable for the target audience.

Can I post completed work? Of course. If you have done good work, then put it on the blog, it may give other people ideas to develop their own work. It is also a public gallery for completed work in your ICT class - remember anyone can look at the blog - please clearly mark this type of work as COMPLETE or FINISHED.

BEFORE YOU ADD A COMMENT

Comment must only be helpful and constructive. Posting just an opinion does not help the person to improve their work as they are working on it.

For example: "I think that is really good." "I don't like it."

This doesn't help the other person to understand what is good or bad about it. Explain what is good or bad about it.

For example: "I think that you have chosen a good colour scheme for an audience of year 6 students, the colours are bright and friendly, but do not distract from the pictures. The font is clear and easy to read". "The animation seem rather fast to me, try comparing this with a slower animation speed."

Can I just say that something is good? Provided you are not spending much time in the lesson then there is no reason why you should not add a comment to give praise to another student about a piece of work that they have completed.

GENERAL RULES OF BEHAVIOUR

Never post personal or private information (including name, address, photo, etc) of yourself or any other person.

This is a public blog - while only the invited team members can post and comment, anyone in the world can read it.

Make your posts clear and easy to read.

Avoid text speak. If you get in the habit of putting u, ur, l8r, and so on then you may put it into your work, where it isn't appropriate. It also makes it harder for other people to read - and this is a public blog that other people outside the school may choose to follow.

Any students who post unhelpful or unpleasant criticism of others will have their posts or comments deleted, they will be removed from the blog and their parents will be told why.

Any students who post material which is unsuitable or contrary to the school's principles will have their posts or comments deleted, they will be removed from the blog and their parents will be told why.

Problems with my profile

Today I explained the class blog in more detail to my class, they are still finishing off their presentations, and writing notes on them, but two of them have joined the blog.

I can't currently post to the blog from school. I don't know why, but I don't have the WYSIWYG posting toolbar on my posting page - which means I can't change font, upload photos, or preview the finished post. The network manager reset my profile on the network - I hoped that would fix it but it didn't. No-one else seems to have the same problem, so it's very frustrating. I'll have to have another look at the problem on Monday.

I've been investigating presentation sharing sites on the Internet, these allow you to upload your presentation for others to see it - this seems like something the members of this blog can make good use of. It's here:

http://www.slideshare.net/

I haven't yet checked it out from school, to check that we can access it from the network. I'll look on Monday.

First Lesson on Blogging

Today I introduced the class to blogging. They seemed to be quite excited and some a little confused - bit like me really. Took a bit of effort to ensure that every ones blogging name was appropriate and not personnel. I do think the Ding Dang Dong group have taken this to a new level of extreme and I am not sure I will ever remember their real names now. I do hope we don't have a problem with Jesus, he may have gone a step too far. I do hope the cat and chicken don't fight too much.

Next week I am looking forward to seeing some of the students posted input. Sharing their experience in creating their Open Evening presentations - what went well etc.., and sharing ideas and experience in ICT work.

Good luck everyone.

Meeting the class

I met the class yesterday, they seem very nice, some very enthusiastic students in there. I'm going to e-mail them to invite them to join the blog over the next day or so, then explain to them how to join in the lesson next week. I really hope that it works well.

Starting a team blog

I'll meet my year 9 students for the first time on Thursday, and I'd like to get them more aware of the uses of ICT outside the classroom, and just playing games on the computer. I'd like them to work together as a team, post some of the work they've been doing, and write about what they've learned. I'd also like them to learn to add constructive criticism to each other in the form of comments.

It's a bit of an experiment, but I'm keen to give it a go, although I know that it will involve me in quite a lot of admin and checking that posts and comments are suitable.

We'll see how it goes, I'm looking forward to doing something a bit different.
