Networks on the Web
There was not very much new in this unit.
Scootle: I am the school administrator for Scootle, and my class use Scootle for HSIE, Science and English activities. I have set up a number of Learning Paths, and have shared these publicly. Year 3 seem to love "Catch the Thief"!
Facebook: Through Facebook I have been able to keep in contact with many former colleagues and past students. I do think that we need to be careful as to what we put on Facebook and if we let current parents and students become friends. I think it would be extremely unwise to allow current students to add you as a friend, and would certainly not recommend it.
Twitter: I do like keeping up with what the mighty Parramatta Eels are up to in Sydney and the Carlton Blues in Melbourne (and even the Sydney Swans). Kevin Rudd (PM) and Barry O'Farrell (State Opposition Leader) are also prolific users. At the recent NSWCEG Conference I heard how St. Mark's College, Stanhope Gardens keep in touch with parents and students using Twitter and was impressed. They even used it to advise the Athletics Carnival had to be postponed.
