Module 1- - Activity 4C (ICT and Security)

At my School we have two IT Labs which are quite secure, burglar bars are on all windows and two additional metal doors were installed after we were the victims of multiple break-ins. 
Several locks on each door and padlocks are also used to add to the security. As a result, we store majority of our hardware in these two labs. However, the administrative block (Principal’s Office and Staff Rooms) are far less secured but houses printers, several computers and a Risograph.

We are in agreement that there is a need for greater security and with that we have decided to put together a security plan which we are happy to share with you.

1. Put a team in place to evaluate the security needs of the school

2. Identify the areas that need security improvements 

3. Communicate plans and security policies to all members of staff and students

4. Encourage parents to become involved – the school is where there children spend many
     hours daily.

5. Create a close link with the local police in the area.

6. Commence the upgrades with the most economical projects geared to reducing risks

CONS: If there are no established policies that govern the use of ICT in the classroom, then “a piece meal” approach could result in confusion and even frustration among the staff and the students.

Module 2A-4: activity 11 - Creating a Personal Learning Network

Creating a PLN has been a very engaging exercise for me. Knowing that I can communicate and collaborate with like minds across the world while integrating ICT in our teaching/learning environment makes me excited. I have created my PLN by using Classroom2.0 and have linked my Twitter, Facebook, Blog site and website in one location.   I started a discussion and have been very pleased with the interaction that it created and the lessons that I learned have been great.  I have invited friends to follow me on this exciting journey so that we can learn together.  I have also followed friends and persons whose links have interested me.  I encourage you to visit me at                                www.classroom20.com/profile/StarrieGreene   PLN's are great for sharing, learning and growing.
