Slide 8
Risks Applications go up and down. Applications get bought out.
Web applications sometimes allow students to interact with other
people online. Most tools have privacy settings to keep minors
safe. Students privacy should be considered. Some tools can be
completely private, but others not.
Slide 9
Risks Applications may create thing that cant leave the
confines of the particular web site (e.g./ cant be downloaded to a
disc/dvd/etc) Students with computers at home may get to spend more
time on projects than students without since its easily
accessible.
Slide 10
A Note On Blocking Some Web 2.0 sites may be blocked at your
school you can sometimes get around this. Submit a request to your
technology department. Provide a pedagogical justification for the
site to be unblocked at your school during a certain period of
time. Describe how you will keep students safe.
