Sighting
Examples of the ways in which the presence of social media is apparent in the lives of my students:
- They use e-portolios to publish their scripts and films in the digital film class.
- In Spanish, they are also starting to use e-portolios to gather their artifacts (PowerPoint presentations, etc.). Issues and challenges to be discussed (in the discussion area): How to assess e-portfolios; safety of online publishing; how to avoid palgiarism.
- In Moodle, we are exploring the use of forums and chats in Spanish. Issues and challenges to be discussed (in the discussion area): What is the idea teacher’s level of participation (intervention); ethics & web communication conventions.
