Week 3 - Engagement activity 2

The creation of a website

I have created life!
In saying that I needed a lot of help when starting up my webpage (thank the tute girls). this was a task I never thought I would do or even be able to to be completely honest. The Web 2.0 tools can be really amazing which makes me wonder what we will be able to achieve technologically speaking in 20 years from now.
I am working on my website (even as I write this) I am finding that I have little time to explore and design unfortunately but now I have the "know how" I will be able to expand on my knowledge through out the rest of this course and latter on in life as well.
Here is a link to my website http://shaneselearningweebly.weebly.com/
I have also found a video on the use of wikis in a classroom which was I found interesting.

The creation of a website by students for an assignment would be great. I have not seen it been done yet in a school but I think it would be excellent. the students could update their page and retrieve information, add a reference list and create their own space. Of course there would need to be restrictions because having a students assignment for public use on the net could lead to many ethical problems. A document I had found outlines some of these issues

This site outlines the responsibilities from the student perspective also when dealing with early childhood students.

And for those teaching middle school

Education Queensland gives the formal positions on this topic which is absolutely imperative to the safe use of ICT in classrooms.
