Many of you have begun to explore what Google Apps for Education has to offer~ Our goals this year are listed here:
- Cloud Computing (using Google Drive to collaborate, share and produce work)
- Document our learning online (using Google Site to collaborate with each other, document our learnings, and publish our findings/reflections)
- Social Learning (using Google Blogger to create online learning network, provide feedback to one another, and explore the potential of 'social learning' via social networks)
While we are excited about the benefits and potentials of online tools, we have to also learn bout Digital Citizenship, as well as how we can protect ourselves while participating in group learning via the cyber space. Your teachers have been talking about the THREE Ps for a while: Don't share Personal information; Think twice before posting Photos of yourself; and Positively represent yourself at all times.
Based on these principles, please take a moment to upload an Avatar as your profile picture as opposed to using your real photo. You may also choose to use a random picture (nature, for example) as your profile image. I have included screen shots here that demonstrate how you can create an avatar using Bitstrips (if you have an account) and save as a JPEG image. Come see me or your teachers if you have any questions or need more instructions~
STEP 3: Select 'Download JPEG Image and use the image as your profile in Google Account Settings.
