My fist week of E-Learning meant a big learning curve for me (and I'm sure it was for a lot of my peers as well!). I was introduced to wikis and blogs but more importantly I have begun to consider how information and communication technology can be implemented into learning environments.
Another thing I've been thinking about is copywright laws (this was prompted by the email we all recieved through moodle). I copy and paste images into my assignments all the time as do my peers. However my knowledge of the legal implications of such actions is extremely limited. Surely people breach these laws frequently; half of my friends' facebook pictures have been taken from somewhere else. the internet really does open up opportunities to steal others hard work or get products for free - downloading music and pirated videos, plagerizing people's research and so on. So should there be a larger emphasis on educating students at school about the legal ramifications of their online actions? After all, while ITC has great potential to make life easier and more convienient it also makes commiting crimes easier too.
Well I'm sure we're going to be considering technology from all perspectives in week two using thinking hats to evaluate cell/smart phone usage.
