Saras UWA blog: ...why doesn't she just RING the police????
http://saramorganblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/why-doesnt-she-just-ring-police.html
Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Why doesn't she just RING the police? There is an interesting point how Web 3.0 mentions the web of things. Which undoubtedly can be rather useful and totally scary. Are we really going this way? 20 years ago, there were similar scare tactics and scenarios presented and we didn't really get there.Hopefully, the progress will happen as we all move along the continuum of development, fitting into the world we then will live in. Mobile phones can now be used in the classrooms, as we i...

Saras UWA blog: April 2010
http://saramorganblog.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 28, 2010. When I recently was writing about the new national curriculum in History, I came across a rather interesting disagreement with regards to indigenous history in the media, where totally opposing views were equally portrayed. Historians like Keith Windschuttle. Were claiming a less cruel and intent behaviour towards the indigenous population in the past, backing up his arguments with various details and data and another acclaimed historian, Robert Manne.

Saras UWA blog: March 2010
http://saramorganblog.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 21, 2010. Discussion on the collaborative intelligence of wikipedia. There is a real concern of falling for the idea that "if enough people agree - it must be true". However, avoiding Wikipedia as collaborative knowledge in the education process will not highlight these important pitfalls. Therefore we need to use it and discuss it in our classes. Tuesday, March 9, 2010. Level of constructivism depends on the task and the audience. Well, doesn't that depend on the task? Of course what to te...

Sunday, May 23, 2010. And here’s why schools should use social networks …. Oh, that was easier than I expected.good one! Talk about using the phenomena of Facebook and run with the flow, controlling it by channelling it into something useful. Interesting. May 24, 2010 at 4:07 AM.

Saras UWA blog: ...my days of blogging...
http://saramorganblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/my-days-of-blogging.html
Tuesday, May 25, 2010. My days of blogging. Hey, haven't we come a long way! Being forced to venture out of your comfort zone and establish an online voice has been a fantastic experience, one that most probably now will end. Developing my on-line voice has been a learning curve, where the idea of just having-a-go. Even in such a public way has been the most useful learning experience. If starting a new blog now where would I begin? Will I continue to make personal, educational and professional postings?

Saras UWA blog: info overload
http://saramorganblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/info-overload.html
Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Perhaps my unfamiliarity with the newer tools of the web is shining through, but I am a bit weary of where we are going.Thinking back 14 years ago when I was an exchange student at UWA and email was kind of new, and a phone call to mum and dad back in Sweden cost $2 a minute, I feel the world now is SO much smaller! May 20, 2010 at 3:19 AM. May 20, 2010 at 11:36 PM. May 23, 2010 at 9:11 AM. The - option is incredibly useful! May 23, 2010 at 10:50 PM. May 23, 2010 at 10:52 PM.

http://saramorganblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/and-then-we-have-those-online-dangers.html
Monday, May 17, 2010. And then we have those online dangers. However, this in not entirely the teacher's role - each child's home structure shares this responsibility, where parents have to take an active role in what they believe is appropriate use of the Internet and teach their children the pitfalls. The current censorship at DET schools, where websites are blocked, will limit the possibilities for teachers to develop their student's true understanding for the dangers on-line.

Saras UWA blog: digital story telling and voki's
http://saramorganblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/digital-story-telling-and-vokis.html
Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Digital story telling and voki's. After having played around with Movie Maker for the first time in my life, I have realised that it isn't quite as hard as I first imagined. If I can do it, I am sure any upper primary school student can do it too. It would be an engaging way to tell a story, requiring a similar thought process to writing. April 25, 2010 at 4:42 AM. April 26, 2010 at 3:02 AM. April 26, 2010 at 4:19 AM. I think making a digital story will be engaging for the chil...
