From little homework acorns‌
to an online course‌
Student’s Posterous
Total ownership over content and design Ownership implies responsibility!
Making the learning net[work]
Benefits of Posterous • Ease of setting homework • Assignments can make use of online content, You Tube etc • Easy to attach documents, audio clips, photos etc. • Cross platform (update from a phone / iPad etc) • RSS Reader enables teacher to keep track of student’s work • Comment only marking (at teacher’s convenience) • Student is publishing for a real audience including parents, peers, other teachers, SLT, Ofsted etc. • Learners more likely to improve their work after feedback • Encourages uncontrived peer assessment and constructivist learning attitudes amongst learners
Cons of Posterous • Home access to ICT issues • No direct control over what student publishes • Some will be reluctant to engage • Plagarism • Marking is done intermittently • Chasing up non-compliance • E-safety issues?
