  • catspyjamas Joyce Seitzinger , Lecturer in Blended Learning at Deakin University Wonderful to see the work you and your students are doing. Shows that these technologies can enhance the learning of student groups not traditionally perceived as 'into' IT. Thanks for sharing! 3 years ago Reply

  • ozi Simon Brown , Stonemasonry teacher at TAFE Queensland at SkillsTech Australia I’d like to introduce you to how we’re using Ning, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube to build an online learning community.
    This is not a shopping list of Web 2.0 sites, merely four online tools that I’m using to connect with my students.
    After I’ve showed you what we’re doing, I will ask you a few questions about your views.     4 years ago Reply

  • ozi Simon Brown , Stonemasonry teacher at TAFE Queensland at SkillsTech Australia Why build an online social network?
    My students are spread geographically, and I want to maintain contact between block-release classes at TAFE.
    I also want students to learn how to present themselves online in a global context.
    Doing this gives students a chance to collaborate with each other, maintaining their own network and extending it around Australia and to other countries.     4 years ago Reply

  • ozi Simon Brown , Stonemasonry teacher at TAFE Queensland at SkillsTech Australia Taking liberties with words provided a small dose of humour. Students ‘don’t mind’ that ‘their’ trade sector title is a little distorted. 4 years ago Reply

  • ozi Simon Brown , Stonemasonry teacher at TAFE Queensland at SkillsTech Australia The stonemasonry ning is a place for students to meet and share information about themselves in both work and personal contexts. The home page features tabbed browsing and 2-pane setting for widgets. A widget is a ‘web object’ or a chunk of HTML code embedded in the page. Widgets are customisable by the network administrator.
    Members’ avatars (avatar = thumbnail image that represents the member) are prominently displayed, providing a sense of ownership.
    The Voki avatar introduces the site with a spoken message when activated with a mouse click. She reads the txt sms message at the top of the page and guides usage of the browsing tabs.     4 years ago Reply

  • ozi Simon Brown , Stonemasonry teacher at TAFE Queensland at SkillsTech Australia Students are sorted into groups to give a greater sense of membership. The groups are named after Australian natural dimension stones used in the stone trade: Ariah Park Beige; Sydney Green; Verde Marinachi; Grandee.
    An embedded slideshow features photos from Andrew L. Petrie. Building and Monumental Masons at Toowong in 1980.
    A forum lists topics and invites discussion.
    The ‘gadget’ at the left of this page embeds a Sony Walkman video game on my personal profile page.     4 years ago Reply

  • ozi Simon Brown , Stonemasonry teacher at TAFE Queensland at SkillsTech Australia The ClustrMap shows who is looking at the stonemasonry ning around the world. The current view shows visitors from every continent.
    Students know that what they post to this site is viewable not just by each other, but also by their current employers, future employers and employees and colleagues. It is effectively their e-portfolio.     4 years ago Reply

  • ozi Simon Brown , Stonemasonry teacher at TAFE Queensland at SkillsTech Australia Signing up for a stomas.ning account.

    All fields are compulsory. Students are required to tell a little personal information, as well as identifying their work contexts. This helps the community get to know its members.
    Fields are editable after joining, so that changes can be updated.     4 years ago Reply
