The areas that I found interesting to me was the "the toolbox" (Page 9) with the list of items available for use. I am sure by the time I read this that the list has increased.
Another area of interest was keeping the student safe (Page 10). I work with post high school students, therefore my concern about keep them safe is not a pressing issue, however I do have some students who are very naive.
Another area that I was discusses was how the student should be able to determine what information they found was correct and what was misleading. For example I asked the students in my automotive engines class what the "W" means in "10W 30 oil". Many students only would look in one source and that was the correct answer and the only answer. The automotive area seems to have a large amount of misinformation by so called experts. The information sounds correct but when it is checked it is found to be wrong.
Keeping the students safe to me also means that I need to inform them that when the post "how to" information, they need to be aware that it could possible involve some legal liability issues for them.

So forget the tech side, now I want to know what "W" is on oil. I'm thinking "weight" but I have no clue!
ReplyDeleteI tried to play "sudoku"!
ReplyDeleteYes, your students really need to be aware of the issues around what they post. They are old enough to have some good conversations, I would think.
What gorgeous pictures! The "deer at 70MPH" caught my attention as I did have 3 different geo metros resemble that look when the deer hit the hood and then kicked in the headlight before sailing away to damage yet another vehicle.
ReplyDeleteNice job on your podcast as well. What a great way to reinforce all the important information as class begins!
