Only when mistakenly sending emails about they didn't actually want people to see... -
What is this anyway? I thought it meant you published your emails to BBC TV -
It's a means of sending an email to various other people at once. For example, you might send an email addressed to a parent concerning a manner but you'd CC the same email to your year level co-ordinator so they know exactly what you're communicating to said parent.

Being too prescriptive about what tools to use will date this document - better to leave it to individuals to work out what's best for them

Maintain a list of core course documents throughout the year
-
Maybe this could be expanded a bit. list some of the "core course documents could be teased out.

-
Microsoft OneNote is a really useful resource for keeping track of these materials and remembering what you did in previous/similar lessons.

-
(Powerpoint)
-
Why just Powerpoint? Why not a HTML based presentation? Or one done in Flash? All are possible.
-
Yes, what about great online presentation tools? How much (if at all?) do we still have to play by the "Everyone needs to know MS suite so schools need to do this as 'Job Prep?'" Do you feel this as a need in your schools?

Edit a word processed document by: using find and replace, checking word counts, inserting page breaks, accessing the spellcheck and thesaurus functions
-
Is this more of a "basic" skill that we assume that all educators already know? If this section is regarding posting documents, we are talking about a different set of skills.
-
-
I assume this is a somewhat mandatory skill that users of Word Processing applications should have. How unprofessional to read a doc that has spelling errors etc!!

Analyse class maps as tools for discussion

Would this, however, be counted as hours in regard to the VITs PD requirements? If so, how would it be monitored/recorded?
-
-
Partner with a colleague to offer a new technology to extend or enrich learning for a group of your students
-
Blog the use of this technology and share with other classes via a social network such as Classroom 2.0
-
Good point. Collaboration doesn't need to be in-person & synchronous - or does it?
-
-
Use tables and styles to enhance the formatting of a document
-
-
-
-
Yes, any means - Moodle, Wordpress, Sharepoint, etc. - the idea is that we have a professional responsibility to make core documents available. Do you agree?
-
-
Consider taking an active role in an online community.
-
For what goal? Personal business just to keep technical skills up or must it be related to profession related topics? More clarification needed.
-
Good point, Hal. What do you think? By "Level 4" I would expect this to be a professional community. Is this fair?

Create opportunities for students to post sincere comments
-
Finding online resources (Wikis, Blogs) that dont require email addresses and passwords can be an issue with younger students.
-
That's why setting up an in-house system where you can create a large number of individual student accounts at the start of the year (such as VBulletin) comes in very handy.
-
On the flipside, we use a vocabulary training website in LOTE which students can't access if they declare their DOB to make them younger than 13!
-
-
Upload presentations, videos or animations for student use
-
Any ideas about the best way to do this? Should it be a WEB 2.0 application, such as Dropbox? Or is bandwith use a concern, so a LAN setup should be used? -
Just to save on costs, you'd probably have to do it over a LAN. It would also create a more reliable system, since an intranet/local network is less likely to fail than the connection to outside resources.

Obviously not the only resource for this. Open source solutions to cut costs?

-
How do you ensure appropriate content, privacy of other students, etc, in an environment where students can publish content for the world to see? Can you effectively?

This is GREAT. Now we just need an online database so we can take a good long hard look at our own skills and those of other staff. I don't think this should be threatening to anyone, but guide them through some essential skills.
