Tony- not in geneal sessions there was only mention of Australia based work esp WA(very parochial). I’ve heard of the NZ Net safe- and agree needs to be embedded in national curiculum.This was the discussion in the curriculum workshop where the NZ work may have come up.Several different workshops were run including policy, partnerships.

Tim
Wondering if any there was any chat about digital citizenship becoming embedded in K-12 curriculum?

NZ Net safe seem to be doing some good work in this area.

okay
I understand now
glad that you’re okay with it all after all your hard work introducing and continually updating and improving the features of EduWeb.

There are many reasons why EduWeb needs to end with the arrival of BlogEd. EduWeb’s great for Windows, but not so great for Macs. BlogEd is platform independent. EduWeb requires a fair bit of initial configuration in each school and not all schools can perform that configuration, so they are excluded. All the technicalities of BlogEd are behind-the-scenes, making it accessible to all. EduWeb is all about teacher and student publishing – so is BlogEd. It doesn’t need the competition in its early stages, especially considering over 600 schools downloaded EduWeb this year. I planned to turn EduWeb 2007 into a blogging tool, but didn’t as I was told “BlogEd” (not that name then), was coming, so EduWeb continues its now 9 year-old technology.

EduWeb’s served a great purpose for a long time for a lot of schools. It’s time we progress to Web 2.0 tools.

Why would you put it to rest?

Have heard some whispers about Microsoft coming back into the fold with respect to the Wiki solution. If this is so and Sharepoint is the platform, then it will require significant development to suit the school environment.

Didn’t mean to put you on the spot I realise that this blog has a different intent and audience than the bulk of BlogEd uses and would most likely continue for ‘personal’ expression purposes. I expect that usage will remain outside of scope for the time being as the business rules are a “nightmare”.

BTW If the Blog is BlogEd is the wiki – WikEd!

In answer to the last questions – resources will be available via the portal (videos/Pdfs/FAQs). A familiarisation package is also being trialled- but hopefully the blog is its own vehicle for ‘intuitive usage’ and promotion.

Ben-wondering when this would come up. Yes in the spirit of the ‘opensource movement’ we should contribute back- but its only the Roller app which stands to benefit- but Apache have no expectations in this regards-its a commercial arrangement with them. The modifications are also specific to a system such as NSW DET. “opensource” ain’t that open any more..
