<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>2. To me, one of the fundamental purposes
of having students create posts in wikis and blogs is so that they can
communicate with other students, teachers, classes and experts around the
world. Of course that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t have to be
vigilant and treat all connections with some care but there are ways, such as
setting password protections and private settings to ensure that they are
reasonably safe. It wouldn’t obviously be as safe as your environment but
it does make it easier for ‘ordinary’ teachers to use these new
technologies with their classes.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

post from Year 12 IT Apps<br>
<br>
I have built a PHP based wiki/blog/profile system here at narre warren south
p-12,<br>
a few classes are using the blogs as a 'journal'.. nobody has used the wiki
yet, but hopefully soon. <br>
and because we have it 'onsite' we have full control over the content, <br>
as in we can delete an entry then and there if it is innapropriate.<br>
the 'profile' section is perhaps a little questionable, but better than the
kids using the real myspace from school.<br>
the newest feature is being able to include 'mp3' files in your blogposts, AKA
podcasts. <br>
maybe you could use something like this as part of your new IT course, and even
non IT subjects.<br>
<br>
anyways, there's a few screenshots at <a
href="http://web.nwsc.vic.edu.au/narrespace" target="_blank">http://web.nwsc.vic.edu.au/narrespace</a><br>
<br>
I would love it if a few other schools were 'beta testing' it for me too
though... hint, hint... <br>
