Hi my name is Cathy and this is the first blog I have ever had. I'm not going to lie, I am a bit nervous about this blogging thing as I have not had much previous experience with computers apart from using them to type up assignments and the Uni's moodle site. I find using new technologies very daunting, but I must admit once I get the hang of them, they can be very interesting and even enjoyable.

How to establish legal, safe and ethical guidelines for e-learning
Once again, thanks to my learning buddies I have learnt a great way to ensure students are aware of the legal, safe, and ethical guidelines while engaging with ICT's in the classroom. After joining Mark Hodges's Manual Arts Forum, I saw that he had a page set up displaying the netiquette rules of using the sight. This I thought was a very good idea, as just like you would do in the classroom, before learning online takes place the teacher should firstly discuss with the students and establish the rules and responsibilities of using ICTs for learning purposes. By including the students in setting the rules and consequences, it is more likely that they will take them seriously. I have dedicated one page on my Wiki to display these rules as a permanent reminder; as a teacher I would also display them on a wall next to the computers in the classroom.
