Module 4

What is Flickr?

'Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community.'

What is Copy right?

Copyright is a bunch of rights in certain creative works such as text, artistic works, music, computer programs, sound recordings and films. The rights are granted exclusively to the copyright owner to reproduce the material or the right to perform or show the work to the public. Copyright owners can prevent others from reproducing or communicating their work without their permission or may sell these rights to someone else.


In Australia, copyright protection is automatic. There is no need for copyright registration in Australia, nor is there a legal requirement to publish the work or to put a copyright notice on it. A work will be protected as soon as it is put into material form, such as being written down or recorded in some way (filmed or recorded on an audio tape)

What is Creative commons?

Creative Commons is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to making it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent with the rules of copyright



It provides free licenses and other legal tools to mark creative work with the freedom the creator wants it to carry, so others can share, remix, use commercially, or any combination thereof.

After watching the videos I downloaded photos to add to my blog. I now have a flickr photostream.

Module 3

What is google docs?

Google™ Docs is a Web-based word processor, presentation and spreadsheet application. It allows you to collaborate online in real-time with other users.

After I watched the video on google docs....


I went to atomic learning, the tutorial was very informative. I created a google document and shared it with a teacher.

 

I think it is a great idea having one document to share with others, rather than always emailing attachments back and forth. As a secretary I've done the latter and it's hard to keep up with copies coming back and forth and often causes headaches and an abundance of emails sitting in your inbox.

Module 2

In this module I have discovered blogs and how they can be used. It wasn't really too difficult to create my own blog after watching the “how to create a blog with Blogger”which I was surprised. I will be adding to the blog throughout the course. I have added my blog URL to the 'Blog Details Wik- Semester One A-C' so it can be easily accessed.

What is a blog?

A blog is basically like an online journal maintained by one or several people, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.


I have looked at a few blogs.


on cooking, gardening and photography.. great ideas!!!

I believe that we need to be aware that what is being written in a Blog is not always fact and that at times, the information found in a blog is the author's opinion. Not only must we respect these opinions but also be aware that when commenting on a blog this means there is a public audience.

I have yet to reply to other staff members' blogs to comment on their posts.

Module 1

This is the first blog that I have written and am on a new learning journey. It was quite challenging and my daughters were impressed that I could do this!!!!

I have learnt the difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 and gained understanding that the internet is not only a tool to retrieve information but to also contribute and communicate information.
