Introduction and Purpose

Introduction and Purpose

My name is Alyssa Bonserio and I am a first year student at ACU. This blog has been created to reflect on a series of questions regarding the impact technology has and the ethical issues it presents. These will include topics that try to broaden understanding on how technology can be useful in the classroom, for example how can games can be fun and educational. Some ethical issues will also be explored for example do digital footprints really last a lifetime? And the legal issues, ethical issues, social issues and industrial issues that are synchronous to a person's digital footprint.

The content of this blog will be promoting academic integrity as it will be all my own work unless appropriately referenced. I will be following the ACU academic honesty and originality policy:

Blog Post 2: To tweet or not to tweet? That is the question!

Driving Question: To tweet or not to tweet? That is the question! Whether we like it or not social media is growing and becoming the centre of the modern world. Billions of people are using social media every day to communicate, for entertainment and for work. During the lectures and tutorials of COMM140, we were introduced to Professional Learning Networks (PLN’S). Essentially, a PLN is how professionals connect with people in the same industry and it is “Used to describe a network of people and resources that support ongoing learning.”(Morris, 2018). Learning this made me feel somewhat relaxed that teachers can reach out for help and receive feedback almost instantaneously from anyone around the globe. After learning more about PLN’s I have a better understanding of how important PLN’s are to have in my career. I have learned that twitter is a great recourse for building a PLN and it is the number one resource for teachers to use worldwide to build their PLN and connect with educ...

There are many benefits that online games have in the classroom for example they promote individual learning and they improve engagement with learning material (Dogra, 2019). Enhanced individual learning is able to be achieved through online games as differentiation occurs, because all students are at different levels and have different styles of learning. Having online games in the classroom makes it easier for teachers to differentiate classwork to allow for cater for the different needs for the students (Help Teaching, 2017). Students are a...
