Photo 4 - Computer Laboratory
WCI is keeping abreast of digital technology available to students. As well as traditional computer labs, we are able to move banks of laptops to traditional classtrooms, expanding students' access to data and information. One of the challenges of this instant access is teaching students ethical use and protocols relating to on-line and social media.
Hi Beverley :)
ReplyDeleteI´m curious and wonder what/how you teach the students about ethical use and protocols relating to on-line and social media? In Sweden we discuss the matter ethical use, and it is always on the agenda, but the problem seems to increase...

We are developing institute protocols, but as soon as decisions are made, the social media issues change. Students also seem to separate the use of institute computers with their iphones. In the business section, at least, we do not have problems. Business professionalism and ethics are at the forefront of all class work.
ReplyDeleteHi!,
ReplyDeleteWhen I was at my VFU (practical training) had school I was on a whole theme week which was about social media. We were in a theater with the mentioned "Condemned". Then the students information to write a story about themselves, when they themselves felt "judged" by other people.

Who did the students share their stories with?

Hi Beverley,
ReplyDeleteStudents shared their stories with the teachers and also sent them into the world Culture Museum where they saw the theater play. The museum publishes them, so that students can read each other then also entitles panels from students from other schools, but they are of course anonymous. They can not assess at this but it is more disskusion of social media influence on students. Very instructive!

this sounds like a very innovative idea!!
