This makes more sense. Wish I had been able to get to the briefings.
Thank you.

Brendyn, I wish I had read your response before giving mine! Please don't be scared - this is basically no different to the technical requirements of the current study design. Students need to create an interface (website) that looks like a blog or social networking site, but it doesn't actually have to function as one. Students' websites should contain all/most of the required features, but they actually don't have to work, but where possible give the appearance of working, hence a prototype. And the website does not have to populated with much data - just enough to show the functionality of a feature.
Through sharing our ideas and understandings we will all move forward!
Regards
Paula

Thank you for your clarification but now I'm as scared as hell!
I could never, neither could my kids many of whom have NEVER used HTML PHP until they reach my Unit 1 2 classes, build from scratch a blog site, or a social networking site with picture walls, live chat, active document sharing etc.
Your response seems have a very different perspective from Mark. What do others think? Or are there even more version/interpretations?
When i read the listed Bulletin I see database linking and a list of standard web html not the skills code writing required to create a blog site. Even if the site only a prototype.
Please help.

The students would build a prototype and not use something like blogger.com. During their learning students would critique blogs created using these tools, to determine what features they like and don't like about the different offerings, but at the end of the day they must design and create their website. Obviously key features of a particular type of website would be present, but where possible, students would 'build' it themselves. Remember that in their solution students must demonstrate some or all of the software functions listed in the Bulletin. For learning purposes students should develop skills in all of the listed functions, but for assessment purposes you can restrict/nominate set functions you expect to see applied.
I hope this clarifies matters for you.
Regards
Paula

I'm still a bit confused.
If the best solution to the case study was a blog or a facebook type environment would the kids have to build a prototype of these ie build a blog code and all OR could they use www.blogger.com <http://www.blogger.com/> or a www.ning.com and shape that into their prototype solution?
Cheers

The students have to create a 'prototype' website that meets the needs of an online community. In the July Bulletin a list of approved types of websites was published. This means that when students respond to a scenario provided by the teacher about a particular online community - it can be a social, project/interest-based, word-based one, they should determine and create the most appropriate type of website from the following list. Types of websites include: blogs, chat rooms, forums, social networks, wikis. It may be possible, depending on type of website, to create a fully functioning website, however, all that is required is a prototype one. Just creating a 'normal' website to support the activities of an organisation does not meet the requirements of the outcome.

Just a clarification.
In the new study design do the kids have to 'create' a collaborative/social networking site or do they just have to use/mock one?

Dear colleagues
Following this Edna link you will find several interesting artiles on social media and online communities. Useful for Unit 3, Area of Study 1 in the new study design (2011).
