Thing #7: Blog about Technology
I am thinking about the application of tools like blogs and Flickr to be incorporated into the Study Tours - Sandra, your thoughts? - it might be an interesting way for the students to create and share their diaries and to review visits and post images... actually the blog site and images could form part of the assessment tool. I wonder if students would find that an interesting exercise, or if being away and having to log on to complete these tasks would be seen as difficult... probably not, given that students are already logging on and doing this, and other Facebook like things, all the time.... an idea worthy of further investigation I think! I'm going to try and find Sandra's blog and post this as a suggestion.

Facebook might be better, since there is a greater variety of things that it can do - post videos, tag people, and the like. The study tours already have a rudimentary blog at http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/mkt/study/overseas/2009/ so I guess the travellers have time to do the postings - time to upgrade the technology perhaps?
ReplyDeleteFlickr can also host videos, and you can tag people in it, too!
ReplyDeleteBut it is very different from Facebook... Flickr was built on a foundation of photos rather than "connections".
