SA SCHOOL Home

maggiesk — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 08:56:50 CDT

This wiki will look at, investigate, discuss and develop a list of websites/online tools/on-cell that can be okayed by South African school firewalls. It will also endeavour to create an AUP (acceptable use policy) for schools and learners that can be used to guide ICT managers to safeguard their learners. We can also share "policies" and practices about the use of cellphones and social networking in schools. (Mxit, Facebook...)

So if you are a school ICT manager, principal, computer lab teacher, teacher who uses ICT with learners (ICT champion ;-) ), then please join and help us to create a safe online learning environment for our learners!

Cellphone use

maggiesk — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 01:08:33 CDT

What do we do about cellphones in a school context? Do we ban it or embrace it as an educational tool?

Introduction

"The internet takes bullying off the school bus and out of the classroom and puts it into the community. It allows the bullies to reach the victim anytime. The victim can't even go home to escape it." Rep. Nick Mackey, a Mecklenburg County Democrt and chief sponsor of the bill to outlaw internet bullyling.This Quote shows that internet bullying has become a serious issue in our nation. We want you to make a pamphlet describing the laws, dangers, and ways to prevent internet bullying in your school and community.

Child Pornography and Internet Predators

We looked at both information and videos to help us grasp a better understanding of our topic. After becoming more familiar with internet predators and child pornography we created our webquest and made an activity for adults to see how easy children can be targeted. Finally, we presented our findings to our classmates in order to relay this important information and express our concern with such a crucially important issue.

By the end of this assignment, each group will have researched, written, directed, and edited a video about internet safety. Each groups' video will be reviewed by judges comprised of teachers and school board members. The video that does the best job of teaching and promoting internet safety will be featured on the Watauga county school website.
