Andre De Koker wrote a new post, Policies, Permissions, and Procedures- A Walk Down the AUP Lane!, on the site The TechKnowledgy Room 1 week, 4 days ago

Acceptable Use Agreements (AUP) related to technology use in schools can be seen as a dime a dozen? So common place, that they have little value…UNLESS…we begin to view the importance of their purpose in a whole […]

Tune into a collaborative discussion on the development progress of updated AUP’s for our schools. By following this link…you will be able to see what Marcello Mongardi, Sarah Leonardis and I have been up to as […]
Andre De Koker wrote a new post, Digital Sojourner – A Quest for Permanent Residency, on the site The TechKnowledgy Room 1 week, 5 days ago

This week I reflected on the Internet. The word “behemoth” got lodged in my mind.

Had this “thing”, this net become the metaphor for something so large, so powerful, we have yet to define its boundaries? […]
Andre De Koker commented on the post, Web Connections, on the site nearly win 2 weeks, 2 days ago

Your site looks so familiar…did we copy each other? Seriously though…humans did manage to survive without the Internet. We have been around for many years and will most probably be around for many more. All […]
Andre De Koker commented on the post, Copy…Right?, on the site Tech Integration in Myanmar 2 weeks, 6 days ago

Is copyright really the ISSUE we are all making it out to be? Yes, living in a “copyright free world” would probably open up so many interesting possibilities in all fields not just education, but it will also […]
Andre De Koker commented on the post, Privacy and Blogging Problems, on the site IT For the Young Mind 3 weeks, 1 day ago

Handing over responsibility of managing their own blogs to students so young may be a very scary prospect to some, but I believe it is worth the risk. We aim as teachers to make sure that what we teach is relevant […]
Andre De Koker wrote a new post, Treading Lightly, on the site The TechKnowledgy Room 4 weeks, 1 day ago

Let’s face the fact, wherever human beings have gone, we have left behind a mess. On a recent trip to Dubai, we ventured out into the desert and just like at so many beaches, forests, mountain trails and rivers […]
Andre De Koker wrote a new post, Getting Our Students Connected To Learning, on the site The TechKnowledgy Room 4 weeks, 1 day ago

I have just finished browsing through the MacArthur Foundation site and the following words really struck a chord with me: ” …digital technologies are changing the way young people learn, play, socialize and […]
Andre De Koker wrote a new post, 21st Century Classrooms- How Far Should We Go?, on the site The TechKnowledgy Room 4 weeks, 1 day ago

The ongoing debate about what classrooms and teaching should look like in the 21st century can make one feel totally inadequate and behind the times as far as the use of technology and innovation is concerned. I […]
Andre De Koker wrote a new post, This is it…There is Now No Turning Back!, on the site The TechKnowledgy Room 4 weeks, 1 day ago

I whizzed thru the 2 chapters of “Reach”. Sat up late downloading Jeff’s videos via ITUNES and mulled over the questions posed in the articles we had to read. And best of all, found myself happily clicking away at […]
Andre De Koker wrote a new post, Commune-ity, on the site The TechKnowledgy Room 4 weeks, 1 day ago

I am three days into course 1 of COETAIL and already my understanding of learning has been challenged by the idea of community. Community or “team building” has always been a buzz word that principals and […]
Andre De Koker wrote a new post, Bullying-Getting Down to the Root, on the site The TechKnowledgy Room 4 weeks, 1 day ago

When we plant an apple seed in the ground, water and tend it, we will soon see evidence of a future tree sprouting through the layers of ground covering. The tree, eventually deeply rooted in the ground […]
Andre De Koker commented on the post, Just because you can, does it mean you should?, on the site Mind the Gap 1 month ago

The generation of ” I can and I will” is not a recent creation, it’s not even as a result of the rapid increase in the application of technology. This generation, of which we are all a part has been around since […]
Andre De Koker wrote a new post, Hiatus-A Break in the Journey, on the site The TechKnowledgy Room 1 month, 1 week ago

Some journeys require a break, a period of suspended activity away from it all, a hiatus. Immediately following the end of course 1 of our online COETAIL program, I entered such a time period away from RSS […]
Andre De Koker wrote a new post, To Copy or Not To Copy, on the site The TechKnowledgy Room 1 month, 1 week ago

I have lived in countries with the capability or will to enforce stringent copyright laws and ones where it felt like copyright laws meant you had the right to copy. And in both I adjusted to the prevailing […]
Andre De Koker wrote a new post, Privacy-Living in the Shadows, on the site The TechKnowledgy Room 1 month, 1 week ago

Be it a wall or a window, all of us like to hide behind something. Depending on our personality, culture, or experiences we either choose to block others out of our worlds or we allow them access, like someone […]

Awesome Jeff, at the moment though I am “connecting” in real time with my report cards that are due soon and formal teacher observation..in about 5 minutes time. The joys of the “connected” world continues. […]
Andre De Koker commented on the post, Course 1 Final Project, on the site five.one.five.zero.zero 2 months, 1 week ago

Hi Carrie,

I have run into a roadblock of sorts…the age restriction placed on many sites when you read the T’s & C’s. I have been wanting to launch my Grade 5 class onto Google, move from PPT to Prezi etc. […]
