"Literature Survey The Importance of Community to Learning The concept of learning communities has been discussed for more than two decades (Caverly & McDonald, 2002). Research has clearly shown that functioning in a community can enhance the learning that occurs among community members (Hargis, 2005; Kember, 1987; Powers & Mitchell, 1997). While community has been defined in the education literature in many different ways (Boyer, 1995; Hill, 1996; McMillan & Chavis, 1986; Preece, 2000; Rogoff, 1994; Sergiovanni, 1994), below are elements of community frequently identified: 1) A sense of shared purpose 2) Establishment of boundaries defining who is a member and who is not 3) Establishment and enforcement of rules/policies regarding community behavior 4) Interaction among members, and 5) A level of trust, respect and support among community members"

"Have you ever Googled yourself ? Have you ever checked your virtual identity? Do you know that you leave a digital footprint every time you get online? Do you know that whatever you do online is accumulated into a digital dossier traceable by others ? These and several other similar questions are but the emerging tip of the sinking iceberg.One that is packed full of concerns related to issues of our online identity and privacy issues."

Let's fight it together film on Cyberbullying. A good resource which has a teacher lesson plan included and other videos on the perspectives of the characters in the video. A bit outdated with the cellphones used but still shows the cyberbullying behaviour that still continue today.

A great little hard hitting video made by Netsafe a few years ago. It can be found on this site as well as youtube. I liked it because it played on kids emotions and hopefully made them realise they wouldn't like to feel like that or make anyone else feel like it.

There are a few things you need in order to get a verified CashApp account. First, you'll need to provide your full name, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security number. You'll also need to link your CashApp account to a bank account or debit card. Once you have all of this information entered into the system, you'll be able to request verification. You may be asked to verify your identity by providing a photo ID. Once you've been verified, a green check mark will appear next to your name on the CashApp home screen. This means that all future payments sent or received by this account will be automatically deposited into or withdrawn from your linked bank account.

What is a rich task

Great application for teaching the fundamentals of programming logic. Scratch has a "drop and drag" interface and "code" is created in the Scripts panel and allows a beginner to use more complex structures such as loops and if statements without actually having to know the "how's". I use this tool in the first 4 hours of teaching programming to beginners by teaching students how to make a simple fish game and then once they have these basic concepts understood, then build on their previous knowledge by teaching them how to make their own version of Pacman. So a highly recommended tool for all levels of students.

This is a great group and full of information! Well maybe full is an understatement. You can see why tags are handy as you can click on a tag that takes you to what you are interested in rather than wading through screeds of information.

Very useful website to help parents and schools keep children safe online. It does have a cost if you want Rob Cope to attend personally. However for a set price, the information can be shared digitally with the school community over a number of school meetings etc. There is also a student component of videos to watch too.

Mindomo is a mindmapping tool that is free for teachers. You can use it will Google Drive and the app links with your Google Apps. Will be using this tomorrow with my students.
