Lesson #5 Sharing information and digital contents

In this lesson we learned about the importance of visual contents for communicating through the internet as they are highly appealing. Examples of visual contents that gather and summarize information are videos, label clouds, infographics and GIFs, graphs, tables, posters etc. They attract users attention on social media. It is important for us to be aware of the nature of the contents that we share in terms of licensing but also of reliability and accuracy. Sources must be checked and quality information must be sought for in order to prevent the spreading innacurate knowledge or data.
 
We also spoke about resource sharing through the internet. Since started teaching I have frequently used websites such as islcollective or tes.com. The latter offers resources for English learning at all primary and secondary stages. Although it began as a free of cost resource sharing website, in recent years teachers upload their resources and sell them to other teachers.
 
The definition given by the Unesco of OER's is the following: they are teaching, learning and research materials in any medium – digital or otherwise – that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions. OER form part of ‘Open Solutions’, alongside Free and Open Source software (FOSS), Open Access (OA), Open Data (OD) and crowdsourcing platforms. OER's must follow the rule of the 4 R's:
  • Re-use: Right to copy and use verbatim copies.
  • Revise: Right to adapt, rework and improve.
  • Remix: Right to combine into new OERs (open educational resources).
  • Redistribute: Right to share copies.
  • Retain–make,own,andcontrolcopiesofthecontent

In this lesson we learned about the concept of Netiquette. It is the short term for "Internet etiquette ”. Netiquette is a code of good behavior on the Internet for emailing, social media, online chats ( Instant Messenger Services ), forums , website or news site comments , etc. There are two fundamental milestones in the history of style rules: The RFC 1855 document ( Request for Comments 1855) of 1995. This document was the first reference regarding rules of etiquette for the Internet.   NETiquette , by Virginia Shea 1994 . In 1994, Virginia Shea published this work , which has become one of the Internet classics. Core Rules of Netiquette as written by Virginia Shea can be read below. They have later been adapted to 21st century Internet use but their main principles remains valid: Rule 1: Remember the human Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online... Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace Rule 4:...

The two images have been put together as they were a part of the same project   This is the first example I tried to make using Scratch and conditionals.   Variables  This is an exercise I tried by myself while practising the options that were given to us in class using variables.The following images show us two different ways of making a similar sequence of orders.     Loops  First I am showing basic examples of what I tried to experiment with in class     Here is another example of making a loop in two different but very similar ways:     This one is also a trial of different characters engaging in a conversation while they also move and interact within the setting :     Another example made to count from a given number upwards with a loop and variables:   Group work project on Scratch   This is our group project with all the different elements https://scra...
