Module D Part 3 Better Internet for Kids and other eSafety resources

# data[].attributes.body
Here I learned that there are a whole network of organisations all over Europe willing to help us on our online journey. Sabrina Vorbau (Projec Officer at European Schoolnet’s Digital Citizenship Team) and Aneta Wilk (eTwinning ambassador in Poland) do a lot of great work in this area. I logged in and joined the group "bringing esafety into etwinning projects". Here there is a treasure trove of information about all the different areas of the internet. I learned all about the esafety label, Web we want, Internet safety day and better internet for kids. I read through all the powerpoint of the webinar for this section.

Module D Part 2 B Data Privacy and online reputation

# data[].attributes.body
In this part of the module we looked at privacy issues and also the proper way to conduct yourself online. The big message seemed to be THINK before you post. This message is a great one. As everyone realises whatever you post will be there forever. We then had two major tasks to do on applying copyright and data protections rules. When we posted this exercise we were then to critically assess up to two of our colleagues work. This was a really interesting task

# data[].attributes.body
This section dealt with concepts like, taking images or information on the internet. Also they gave advice on how to protect your own information online, when you would like to share it with someone. The discussion moved on to creative commons. They also discussed the different licences that are used online.

# data[].attributes.body
In this part of the course we discussed a lot of the current social media platforms. You tube, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and many more. With the use of Padlet we were able to collaborate together on the dangers and pitfalls of using these online platforms. HereI read many interesting things from many different countries. We also commented on some of our peers posts and what benefits the information may be to us.

Module D Making the best of the Internet

The whole idea is that this section is to be treated as a whole. All areas should be read first. The resources used in online platforms like you tube, instagram, twitter, Snapchat, Facebook are discussed. We were asked to contribute to a forum trying to ascertain what experiences people had with online bullying, harassment and Spam etc.

Module C Part 4 The art of speaking in public

# data[].attributes.body
This section was outstanding. I loved the videos and Tedx talks that gave us great ideas and advice. I really enjoyed it. The videos explained tricks of the trade for public speaking. There was a section dealing what you should do went you are using powerpoint. Finally we had to upload a video in under 90 secs. It was based on "what is eTwinning". I really enjoyed making this video

# data[].attributes.body
Again a webinar allowed us to gain a lot of information about mentoring. A great resource is the experience that we have in eTwinning. This is brought to the fore with groups like virgilio. This group was set up by a few ambassadors who wanted to help new comers. As a group again we had to develop a resource that would maybe entice people back to eTwinning that may have become inactive. Our group had some really great ideas on this topic

# data[].attributes.body
In this section we tried to develop how we could disseminate the great information going on in eTwinning and in peoples projects. The first stage was to watch the webinar that was dealing with dissemination. Do's and dont's for dissemination. We then worked in groups again to develop our ideas. Our group used google docs and found it very useful.

Module C Communication Skills Part 1 What is an Ambassador

# data[].attributes.body
I found this section great as I am involved in many situations at the moment where I must speak in public. I found a lot of the videos we watched beneficial. We looked at videos of Ambassadors from all over Europe. Then we had to record in less than 30 secs a video to convince someone to become an Twinner.

# data[].attributes.body
Here we had to work collaboratively to come up with and develop our online professional Development opportunity. I found this section great. Again working in our groups was exciting and at times challenging. As a group we decided to use google docs for most of our work. It was easy. We all were colour coded and then you could see who added information to the document.

# data[].attributes.body
In this section we again received handbooks and videos on collaboration. This section allowed us to collaborate further on many of the topics.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a very informative section. It is a topic that I am very interested in anyway. There was great handbooks videos and information on the benefits but also the pitfalls related to project based learning. The just for fun section was great whereby we dreamed up the most Utopian Project that we would love to run with. I found this section great for reflection. The question was asked "Can an eTwinning project have a PBL approach".

# data[].attributes.body
It is really interesting to be collaborating as a group. I am in group 21 and the group work adds yet just another dimension to the whole learning experience. I hope I can learn a lot from all of my peers. I believe that I have learned a lot from the Talis findings and Dr Schleilcher's address.

I have filled in the form and joined a team in the Ambassadors group. I have also added my idea in the Tricider. This is a super tool to get the views of a large group. People can vote for the idea they like the best.
I put up the following idea, "Ambassadors can create learning events (Project Based Learning) and webinars based on inclusion and the eTwinning concept."

Project Based Learning, An Irish Perspective.                      I wanted to disseminate the background, aims, practice and                                 problems associated with Project Based Learning,                                        from An Irish Perspective.

Date:                                  19/09/2017

Who could participate:        All on eTwinning

Language:                            English

Yes. I did run the webinar. It was a great experience even though I was a bit uneasy at first. I was not experienced enough but as the saying goes, you learn quickly. The webinar I attended “Communicating and Sharing Through eTwinning Live, how to set up and run your first online event” by Marika Emese Cîmpean was wonderful. It basically brought you through all the important steps needed. There was an echo with the microphone. This was caused by the fact that I left the room and returned before it started as there was a problem with my connection. The participants were asked what the quality of the audio and video was like. One of the participants suggested there was an echo.

I solved the problem by making one of my names a participant. Overall it was a new and exciting experience. I really enjoyed it and I would love to host another event.

This was a big step forward for me. However as already stated the online webinar I attended run by Marika paved the way. It was easy enough to create the online event. Once time slot was picked it was a matter of sit tight and wait. I would be lying to say I was not nervous. My topic was Project Based learning. I tried to give it from an Irish perspective. I really enjoyed my first experience and I would really enjoy giving another online event soon.

Recently I had the great honour of attending the Serbian National etwinning Conference. There I met a host of etwinners and ambassadors. It was a really enchanting experience. I decided to follow an ambassador called Bojana Manic. I was really impressed with all the good work she has done.

Well the wait is over and it has started. Well done to all the active ambassadors  for your hard work. I have completed the Quiz. Great questions. The support section was really illuminating.

Hi, my name is Ronan O' Sullivan. I live in Cork Ireland and teach Mathematics in Davis College, Mallow Co. Cork. i have learned very quickly by starting this course that there is a lot to learn. It is exciting, motivating, and an adventure all rolled into one. As a result of this course I hope to become a more informed ambassador. I wish to learn from my peers and the experts in the group. I have taken the Initial Test. It was much harder than expected. (Well Set). I learned a lot, even from this one test. On Wednesday I viewed the Introductory Online Seminar given by Rute Baptista and many more experts. Tonight, Thursday I completed the Quiz for Module A. The support section was a great help. At the moment I am posting my Padlet for you all to see. I hope to learn so much more over the following four months. Thanks for this opportunity.
