Hey everyone!
So another
week is done, and time is flying by. This
week I got to explore VoiceThread. It’s
an online tool where a person can post a presentation and have others add
various comments to it either by recording their own voice or just by text. When it comes to me using this again, I
personally don’t think I will, not because I didn’t like the tool, more so
because I don’t think I will ever need to create this type of presentation. However, I am glad that I know how to use a
tool like this if need be. In terms of
this being a tool to expand my knowledge, I feel that it is a great one because
it allows you to get other people’s opinions on the same topic and realize
aspects that you might have overlooked.
Collective
knowledge tools are very different from tools where collaboration is concerned.
In collective knowledge we are asked to answer a specific question on based on
our opinions. Whereas, in collaboration
we are all working together to complete the same task. So in both we are working alongside other.
When it
comes to digital rights and responsibilities, I have found that everyone has
their own opinion on what they feel are important to them. This week I came across a new responsibility
that I had overlooked in the past as being very important, and that was the
right to report cyberbullying and harassment online. The bullying used to stop for kids when they
got home from school because the bully didn’t come into their homes, whereas
now day’s kids are being bullied at school and then it continues online when
they are at home. If this isn’t handled quickly
it can escalate and reach a breaking point for the child, because it doesn’t stop.
This week
has been full of learning new things, can’t wait to see what’s in store for
next week.
Take Care
