ReplyDelete1. When you are discussing a topic that is not related to the course being taught.
ReplyDeleteThis is driving me NUTS. Signed: Olga.
ReplyDelete2. When the teacher wants to convey lots of information as opposed to getting lots of comments from students or students talking to each other.
ReplyDelete2. A blog would be better when a specific topic needs to be discussed.
ReplyDeleteHi Olga,
ReplyDeleteThis is an example when a discussion board might be better so that we can talk to each other and go off topic.
Personal messages could compromise the teacher/student relationship.
ReplyDelete3. Twitter is great to post links to useful information.

It would be more appropriate to have a blog discussion rather than a discussion board when you have lots of content to add, including pictures, videos etc
ReplyDeletePresonal matters between teachers and learners not recommended as professional ethics involved.
ReplyDelete3. Twitter: this could be used to get students to follow certain "tweets" that relate to the subject matter.
ReplyDelete2. Blogs like this are great if I may say so myself.

1. Personal discussions that do not relate to the course material.
ReplyDelete2. When there are regular updates, like a newsletter or weekely recap or other situations that need to be managed by one person only.
3. Facebook/Twitter, forums, YouTube, other blogging platforms, Google Groups, etc. Students can be asked to contribute articles, posts, comments, etc. in between classes to keep the discussion going.
1. Conducting of personal matters such as arranging a date.
ReplyDelete2. When you want to conduct a discussion and make any comments stick to the subject rather than go off on a tangent.
3. google.docs, Facebook, twitter. You can upload documents (photos etc) to google.docs and share them with many users; a way of a group of people sharing and collaborating on a document.

1. Personal info should not be posted on a blog - anything you wouldn't want the whole world to see.

Any personal information would be inappropriate between students and staff. Also any comments about work colleagues or the organisation.
ReplyDeleteChristina T.
When a discussion is on a blog in is controlled by the blog owner, whereas anyone can contribute to a discussion board.
ReplyDelete2. Blogs are better than discussions because they can't be highjacked by ERICA!!!

Any conversation which is contrary to the standards set by the college,

1 Where personal information is being divulged by the teacher
ReplyDelete2 When a diary of daily events is being recorded
3 Google docs - where a document (similar to Word) or a spreadsheet (similar to Excel) can be created and a series of people (teacher & learners) can collaborate on its content, from anywhere with web access. An assignment could be submitted this way and a teacher could give direct feedback, within the same document (James)
3. A group on LinkedIn would be good when teaching professionals, if the subject matter is relevant.

2. Working from Home
ReplyDelete3. You Tube, Facebook, Enable to use pictures etc

When you wish to remain focused on the topic or subject as people will be commenting on the blog that you have created. Discussion boards expand into other areas.
