Workshop

Abstract: Connecting with the Community

Here's what I said we'd do.....

We'll have a short look some blogs.

We'll have a quick chat about digital literacy- the things you could do and shouldn't do with your blog.

Then we'll either construct a Blogger blog if you haven't got one or add features to your blog if you have already got one! Do the tricky stuff while someone's around to lend hand - really speeds up the process.

When you get home you may like to print off particular blog posts from this blog so you can have them beside you as you work your way through.

Before posting student's work or images on line it is best practice to ask their parent/whanau permission.


Here is some paperwork around this issue that you may like to adapt.

Privacy Permission Agreement

Student Use Agreement

Staff Use Agreement - add in File Sharing Legislation notice


Think about cyber-safety as you work with children. Blogging gives children a real context for conversations around digital citizenship and cyber safety.
