Introduction

Aspects to Consider When Working Online

writing4webcopyrightprivacy

In previous workshops, we have explored some online environments such as class blogs and podcasts, video-conferencing, collaborative online projects and communities, and other Web 2.0 technologies. Ease of creation and access to online publishing with Web 2.0 technologies have a lot of benefits for learning. But what issues are there to consider? Sarah O'Sullivan takes a creative approach to a somewhat serious subject and includes these topics in her presentations:
  • writing for the web
  • copyright
  • privacy
  • plagiarism
  • netiquette
Most of the ICT PD clusters for whom this online conference was organised have online cluster and home group areas where their members are geographically distributed. Angela Page explores in her presentation some aspects to consider when designing an online community and how they relate to teaching and learning.

Following these presentations, we invite and encourage you to join in with the participation activities.
Presentation one - Sarah O'Sullivan

Things to Consider When Working Online

Sarah O'Sullivan

Bio
Sarah is based in Nelson, and works for CORE Education on a variety of projects including ICT PD Clusters and ECE ICT PL (Early Childhood Education Information and Communication Technologies Professional Learning), mainly assisting in the Interact platform. She has previously worked for TKI (Te Kete Ipurangi) as ICT Online Editor where her experiences with online publishing and the consequential dabble into copyright and privacy first began.

She has a keen interest in the Arts and ICT and facilitated the Funinfotos Online Project within ICT PD Online, and the Pasifika Digital Legends Project with Margaret Hill for Multi Serve Education Trust. Her background is primary teaching, and she has taught in Japan and London. When she gets a chance she experiments with Web 2.0 on a personal level - usually with her son as guinea pig.
Description
These three slideshows are intended to raise points of consideration for facilitators, schools, and teachers when working in online environments and communities. Each presentation begins with a fictional comic scenario which then leads onto definitions, key considerations, and recommended web links for each topic.

And... many thanks to Oscar (5 yrs) for his help with the comic photography!
