What are the child-protection, copyright, and social issues that are involved?
-A child-protection issue that would be involved in a classroom blog would be that if a teacher or student was not careful, the student's personal information could be displayed where predators could gain access to it, same with photos. A copyright issue would be if any of the people making posts on the blog used any kind of material from another person without getting permission, which could lead to a lawsuit. Social issues might be that some students may not have access to a computer or to the internet, and therefore would be discriminated against in a way, because they would not be able to participate in the blog.
A blog is a webpage that enables you to share files and information with a finite group of people.
ReplyDeletePedagogically speaking, blogs are great for scheduling and group work/networking. Blogs are also nice because they are readily available and more interactive and engaging than a piece of paper or a flyer.
It is very important that child-protection and copy rights are observed. Child protection is an especially big social issue because there are a lot of dangerous things that a child can easily get into. With copy rights also it is important to observe the laws and regulations set forth because you can get busted and in trouble really easily. With the internet you can never be too sure of how "protected" or "private" your blog or webpage is, so it is very important to observe copyright codes and leave out specific personal information about yourself or others.

Possible ideas for blogs:
Upload pictures of activities
Share work already completed
Upload more information on upcoming assignments
There are also issues that have to be addressed if this technology is to be used. A few of these issues are but are not limited to: copyright laws, child-protection, and social issues.
Copyright Laws: It is of important to make sure you are not plagiarizing others work. An unsuspecting child may accidentally add something that cannot be posted without permission from the proper source.
Child-protection: it is crucial that an over assuming adult doesn't endanger a child by posting to much personal information. This would include but not limited to: photos, names, and/or locations.
Social issues: some adult are unfamiliar with blogging. It might pose as a daunting task. The students might live in an area where internet or computers are not readily available.

Blogs can be a useful toll in which students can interact with one another. Blogs can be set to private so only “followers” can view information unlike other websites that are open to the public.

One of the major issues with child-protection and blogs is that if you are not very careful private information can be shared with online predators. Children should be taught never to share any private information over the internet and all blogs should be supervised by a responsible adult.

Some of the social issues with blogs are that people post whatever is on their mind at the moment. Many people don’t think about the viewers of their blog or the impression they are sending out to the world. Even if a blog is set on high privacy settings you can never be 100% sure your information is safe.

What are the pedagogical implications of student driven BLOGS in contrasting to a teacher-created website?
When students particiate in blogs they are becoming active learners. They feel as if they are taking charge of their own education and becoming responsible for it. With teacher-created websites they might feel like passive learners and not as involved with their own learning. The students can learn from their peers as they use their blog to communicate with other students and learn from them as well.
What are the child-protection, copyright and social issues involved?
With anything on the internet one must be careful with the information that is made visible to others. Teachers cannot give out personal information about their students.

However to protect the students, as a teacher they must be sure to heed caution in what they post on the internet.

Social issues also need to be taken into consideration with the type of information one posts on their blog.

Students get chances to communicate with teachers and get instant feedback from teachers. Furthermore, students have better relationships toward teachers who use blogs than the one who don’t.
• What are the child-protection, copyright, and social issues that are involved?
Child-protection- The children’s personal information are not supposed to be on blogs and protect the children will be a big issue of how much appropriate personal information can be showed on blogs.
Copyright- Using other’s word, photos, or videos is not acceptable while transmitting those to your own blog.
Social Issues- Nowadays we saw lots of ad with sex appeal clothes or even more obvious way to promote sex, drugs, or just something are really tempting for youth.
How to use blog appropriately and carefully is a big issue as well.
What is a blog?
ReplyDelete-It can be an electronic version of a journal that allows people you allow to comment and give feedback. Most importantly, it can also be a great tool for learning, allowing students to write their thoughts on certain topics, etc.
What are the pedagogical implications of student driven blogs in contrasting to a teacher-created website?
-Having a blog is more student focused and allows students to take a more interactive role in creating it. When this happens, students will want to participate more and this allows them to learn more. Another important aspect is that it allows students and teachers to get feedback either on lessons, or performance, etc.
What are the child-protection, copyright, and social issues that are involved?
-For child protection, there should not be any personal information available, and if there are pictures, it should be as a group and not specifically labeled.
-For copyright, you are not allowed to use other people's pictures, words or other forms of media without the proper permission.
-For Social Issues, we need to educate our students how to appropriately use blogs such as not looking up things they are not supposed to, how to appropriately respond to comments etc.
What is a Blog?
ReplyDeleteA blog is a few different things. One of them can be like an online journal. The only thing is this journal is intended for others to see. The other thing is other people can make comments on what you write as well so it adds a nice twist.
What are the pedagogical implications of student driven BLOGS in contrasting to a teacher-created website?
For student driven blogs, they can feel like they did it more. It is their own personal thing. Since learning is personal the student can learn in a more personal way with how the blog is treated as opposed to just visiting what the teacher did.
What are the child-protection, copyright, and social issues that are involved?
One thing may be that some students, on the poorer end of things may not have access to a computer outside class and because of that they may not be as computer savvy as some of the other students. As far as protection goes you do not want to put too much information on the internet as there are internet predators out there.
I think Kosheila's comments are right on
ReplyDeleteI would say Rachel Raynor described blogs very well and gave thoughtful reasons for why child protection is so important. She must be very internet savvy!
ReplyDeleteA blog is a space that lets us all express ourselves to the world.No longer do we need to buy journals or subscribe to hear what people think. We have loads of infomation from everywhere, about everything at our fingertips.
ReplyDeleteThe Pedagogical implications of student driven BLOGS are that the teacher teaches students how to express themselves. These Blogs are a way for students to take control of their education and knowledge and contrast it with that of the other students. Blogs make learning personal for the student.
Some of the child-protection, copyright and social issues that are involved are included in topics of safty. Is it safe to have a childs name on the internet anymore? These issues need to be resolved by strict guidlines on what a child can put on their blog as well as their teacher. Another issue may be the problem of students writting things about other students in the class. This could be a problem but could only be solved through strict obervance of socail and safty rules.
I read the comment that was posted by "class blog" and I thought that they made some excellent points. They said that student driven blogs are useful because it gets the student blogging and gets them looking at other useful blogs, which was a very good point. There are some really good blogs out there that can be really helpful in the classroom, especially to a new teacher. They also said that we as teachers need to help our students to be safe about what information that they are giving out, and that we as teachers need to make sure that what they are posting is appropriate, which was also a very good point to make. I totally agree with these ideas.
ReplyDeleteI feel that Kealohi made a good point of reminding us that although we as teachers have "extra responsibility", we should look at it as making learning more exciting and fun and always teaching and helping to the best of our ability.
ReplyDeleteThis comment is not specifically directed to anyone because it seems that several of us agree that it is important that students understand the approriate uses of a blog, and what types of information they can post and view.
ReplyDeleteLacey Laycock - I read this one. I agree with all her answers. Students are a great resource for each other. And a blog can really help them communicate together. We also, as teachers, need to be mindful of the kind of information they are posting. We are responsible for these children.
ReplyDeleteSarah~ I love how you said "Blogs give people a chance to see what tomorrow's leaders are doing today." I never thought of it like that and I love the new insight!
ReplyDeleteNate suggested that student driven blogs allow students to be teachers as well as learners. I think that is a great reason to use blogs for assignments because teaching something helps the person learn it more thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteKammi G. is most definately right! Blogs are definately sights which are updated frequently. blogs are tools which will definately enhance creativity. But i am actually really impressed with her bullying insight... I never even considered that. I always looked at it from the perspective of outside harms, not the harms that lie with-in. Good insight kammi! Thank you. Supervision will definately be a key factor in using blogs in a productive way. Its such a great tool if used properly, we just need to figure out what works best for us in our classrooms.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Marci. A blog is a great way to get the students more involved and to make them step out of their comfort zone to learn. They are very interactive and interesting. Marci said that it could be used as a tool for planning, I think that this is a great idea because it allows not only students to see the schedule of assignments and important dates but also it provides a way for parents to get more involved. It allows them to see what their child is doing and play a more interactive role in their education.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Penman, I like how he put that blogs can be like journals. Its not common for people to expose their journals but its a great way for family and friends to know what is going on in your life if you don't live close enough to them to stay in contact. Also, I liked how he said that there is a bad end to blogs, which is the safety of putting things onto the internet.
ReplyDeleteI like what sharisseb said about blogs. It is good that parents can interact with what their children are doing in the class through blogging. This way everyone can be connected.
ReplyDeleteI liked how Brooke spurrier mentioned said that blogs can also provide information about upcoming events, activities, homework,reminders and that this technological resource is not only for teachers but for students and their parents. Good job Brooke!
ReplyDeleteI liked how sarah gave ideas for blogs and activities we can do as teachers to use the technology to our advantage! She addressed all of the issues and concerns about it and did a great job! SARAH IS AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kealohi's comment about the more we involve the child the more they learn.I think with teaching children, educators need to pay close attention to capturing the students attention i think that once educators have got the students attention they are more engaged to learn.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree Cristina, A blog is not just a place expressing your personal life, but provide some information for parents, students, or even colleague. Furthermore, blogger can share with others their creative work or inspired words. As we use blog there are some rule we should know about. Like what Cristina said "
ReplyDeletewith anything on the internet one must be careful with the information that is made visible to others." We future teacher should be aware of revealing students personal information on blog. Teacher should use blog appropriately and use it as a resource or place to connect to students and parents.
I also agree with Brook with the emphasis she gave in making sure that the safety of our students are priority and that this kind of approach might actually push for team work and group participation with students.
ReplyDeleteI agree w/ Wei's comment that a blog is a great way to share what you think with others, get feedback, and make connections to others. By having a blog, you have the chance to make connections to others from all around the world. There are many positive aspects of having a blog and I think that connecting to others and hearing what they have to say is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI like Aaron Puzey's idea of a blogs being three way communication between teacher, student, and classmate. Students can leave feedback or ask question about an assignment by just leaving a comment. That is a novel idea. Could you imagine if your professor had a blog where you could see the next writing assignment and ask or review question on the specifics of the assignment and not have to find the professor's email, email your question, check you email frequently and then forget what the response was so you feel addicted to email. Instead all you would do is post a question and either a fellow classmate or the professor would answer it and you would have one source to go to! That would be heaven!
ReplyDeleteI really like what RR had to say about blogs. She said that blogs are a great tool to get students more involved. I think that's definitely a great idea. Say a student may be a little bit shy about voicing their opinions in group discussion in class, If there was a group discussion question over a blog, the shy student may voice some helpful, wonderful insight that we may otherwise have never gotten to receive. Great idea RR!
ReplyDeletei agree with how Wei explain what blog meant
ReplyDeleteits a place where you get connection to friends and get feedback from people all over the place.i also agree by when he said that you can express your feeling through blog but you need to be very careful with what you said there, other people might interpret it in a wrong way or do not go too personal in there just in case you don't trust people who might read it
I agree with Brooke on how important blogs can be when used within a classroom. Blogs are another way to encourage class participation and have students contribute their ideas and share it with their classmates. I also agree with Cristina about the privacy and copyright issues that need to be adhered to. I believe that these copyright and privacy issues need to be taught to students, teachers, and parents to ensure the safety of everyone.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Lacey said about blogs. Her explanation of blogs was very easy to understand and relate to. Her idea to use blogs in groups in the classroom is a good way to improve peer communication and cooperation. It is very important for students to feel included. Blogs are a good way for students to interact with teach other and interact with the teacher. What Lacey said about child privacy was also very important in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteAsh is right I think it is so important to guard your identity and to have a password. It is also important as a teacher to monitor blogs between students to make sure nothin bad is going on. This is a really good idea.
ReplyDeleteWith the increase of technology use in the classroom, a blog is another tool that we can use to help, students, teachers, and parents stay informed about what is happening within their child's classroom. A blog can be used to display information on the internet so that people can have access wherever there is a computer and internet available.
ReplyDeleteStudent driven blogs are good because it allows the students to discuss and bring up topics that they are interested in. Blogs are another form that some students may be more comfortable to participating in.
Some of the copyright issues that should be considered is privacy and what is posted on the blog. Precautions should be taken when thinking about how much you want to share with others on the blog.
