Digital Equity, Accessibility, & Universal Design: What do you know about Web 2.0? | HASTAC

So I am researching about Equity in Digital Content and its interesting that it still comes down to the basics race, class, gender and justice, human dignity, equality, equity. And really importantly making sure the content is culturally relevant. A really good article is http://www.edutopia.org/ensuring-technology-access-all

It has also stirred my interest about preservation and protection in the digital world

There is an emerging equity that needs to be understood and which enables all of us to potentially be a writer, creator, or film-maker. While the literature on community/citizen-created content is clear regarding the worth of this content and the need to readily access and share it, there is a deafening silence about the need to protect and preserve it. This need exists, of course, so that we can harness the ideas of 21st century creativity and inspiration for future generations to understand, and draw new learning's from.

Early April Update

Hmmm, so I have completed some entries on the My.TAFE portal.
I am still playing with ideas for my two units I need to develop.
In the mean time I have uploaded my Workshop 1 slides to slideshare for the students.

And I have played with Prezi.

I think what I am looking for is for a forum that allows me to upload content but for the students to interact also.
maybe a Wikispace?

I will try that out soon as I need to have it developed by late May.

End of March Update

So I have been madly engaged in my new role as trainer and facilitator for external "online delivery" of The Diploma of Community Services Coordination.
My biggest challenge so far is that it it not actually online learning or engagement. Its simply only online theory.
I have had huge resistance to online interaction from these students. I have set up a FB space for them to connect and only 2 from the 42 are actually using it.
It's made me review everything I have thought, on the flip side I have been supporting some of the teachers in my team to use their Ipads in the classroom, especially for capturing role play assessments. They are loving it, its working really well....
