Potential support resource for assign 3a if your topic is literacy

What a great resource. I have just been learning (In my language unit) about how important reading aloud to children is. Not sure if I will be able to use this for our assignment... I will definately book marking for my own kids to use though!

Nik's QuickShout blog. Offers suggestions about how this tool could be used to support student learning. Could be a potential resource for assignment 3

This paper reports the findings of a national survey on the use of dataloggers in secondary schools (grades 7-10) and junior colleges (grades 11-12). In particular, it explores the types of learning activities that teachers conduct using dataloggers, the support structures they deem necessary and the difficulties they face.

I found this resource very helpful and quite comprehensive. I especially liked the Cyberbullying acronym G.E.T R.I.D. I think this concept would make a great poster to hang on the wall of my classroom when I am a teacher. It passes the C.R.A.P test (Gold, 2010) as it is current being copyrighted from 2006-2016 so I would assume it is updated quite regularly and relevant for the topic. It is reliable because it is supported by the Australian government, Murdoch children's research institute and the Royal Children's hospital in Melbourne among others. The media collaborator is the ABC and it has won quite a few awards. There are no advertisements so I do not think there is any agenda and the information is not really biased in any way, it is quite factual and informative rather than opinionated. One negative that I found was that there are a few statistics mentioned but no reference to what study these statistic come from, making me wonder how reliable they really are. All in all a brilliant resource for understanding the concept of digital citizenship and cyberbullying. Thank you for posting it!

I agree, this website is great. I've found it really helpful in my research and it passes the CRAP test :)

I totally agree with previous comments, this has been very helpful for me as I research information on digital citizenship ;)
