Ethical use of email

If you find any movies like those ones you should keep them to yourself and maybe only show them to people who ask you to find scary movies etc. Why were they sent anyway? I just deleted them because I was in a rush.

Ethical use of email

It was realy silly of the person to send those scary movies around because it is realy unrelyable because it is not the reason to use a firstclass acount for. We are Yr 6s so we should no do it.

E-mails

I agree I think that whoever was sending around those movies should have thought about it first and it was bit irresponsible. I never actually watched one of those movies myself . I think that people shouldn't send them around and if they do people shouldn't open them up and watch them because we are kind of like role models to the school.

Ethical Use Of Email

I watched one of those movies thinking they would be funny but they were a bit inappropriate and not to funny.I also think that tech wizards isn't about sending emails with links to weird you-tube videos that have nothing to do with helping someone or that help people learn more about tech tips & stuff like that. I thought tech wizards e-mail addresses were privileges for sending emails about tech wizard things.
Thanks

Sensible use of technology

I agree, I think that techwizards can misuse technology and abuse the fact that they have certain privileges compared to another regular student, but, I won't believe for one second that any of the techwizards will ever try to hurt somebody on purpose using technology. I think that if anybody will like to do things that they can't at school (e.g Download applications that they have not got permission for) then they can do it at home, with the exeption of offending anybody, this will prevent any school computers from being damaged.

I think we should keep inside our head always these questions: Will I possibly offend someone with this?, is this sensible?, by doing this, am I staying within the digital safty agreement?

This is very interesting! I received an email with an attachment that initially made me worried. When I opened the attachment I was relieved to see that it wasn't inappropriate. However it made me realise that the tech wizards now have the opportunity to send 'silly' things and maybe even inappropriate things through their email accounts. 

My question to you TWs is " What do you think is inappropriate?" 

Ethical Use of Email

I have noticed that one of the Tech Wizards has been sending emails which are slightly inappropriate. These emails have been sent to all the Tech Wizards recently. I am unsure if anyone did anything as a result of this, which is against our Digital Safety Guidelines.

Please remember that having a FirstClass account of your own is a privilege. With privileges come responsibilities. You are the models for other children at Fendalton School.

As a result, I've temporarily disabled all Tech Wizard email access. I will reinstate email once every Tech Wizard has done some reflecting on this issue, using the questions below to guide your thinking:

1. What was done that was not ethical? Why is it not ethical?
   
2. What did I do that either helped or didn't help?
   
3. What would I do differently next time?

Once all Tech Wizards have made comments on this post, then email will be reinstated.

Meeting Minutes Term 1 Week 8

1. Rob shared Julius' screencast tool, check Rob's reflection for more information on using Jing.
2. We checked who can access the Fendalton Tech wizards Blog. It is everyone's responsibility to ensure they are on this blog. This is where we will keep minutes and all other item relating to Tech Wizards.
   
3. We looked at the tech wizards roster & learnt how to change how we put someone on it so it notifies them a day before there on, plus has the phone number of their classroom.
   
4. We discussed that if the teacher of the class doesn't need any tech wizards because they already have tech wizards in there class that can do it. We said yes but the tech wizards in that class must tell the people who are on the roster.

Next week focus on:

• Team assembly setup - sound system, datashow
• Screencasting - Julius
• iPhoto photo sharing - setting up your class iPhoto with a Top Shots albums
•
