Riverside DI9 (Cassidy, Emily, Lindsay)
If we had a space, the features and capabilities it should include are free writing space (like a Wiki), an area we can embed pictures and Glogs (Glogster), a secure site where not just everybody can see, and where we can have a homework section where our upcoming work can be organized (like soshiku). We would like to customize backgrounds, header and footers, layouts, and fonts.
Riverside DI9 (Dimitry, Tryston, Callum, Tony)
We think that the features and capabilities for a Student We are concerned that parents would be able to Learning Space should include organization, the ability see our work, and the fact that anything that is to personalize it, and have forum‐type discussions. posted online, stays online (Much like Las Vegas) Maybe a chatroom of some sort. We should also be able to have a "Message Teacher" box that'll send a private message to our teacher. 2. Yes, but not too much, otherwise the spaces will look like MySpace profiles! We should be able to change these: a. Color palette b. Font family c. Layout d. Background, but maybe from a preset set.

Favourite Internet Sites
I think it should be set up like Google docs, and My favourite sites for school use are Wikispaces, I’m am concerned about if someone looks at my Yes, we would way rather work on a computer Engrade collaborated. I like that in Engrade all your work and uses it, or if someone could get onto my because it’s easier to type things out and faster. Engrade, Google docs, Tumblr, Twitter. classes are very organized, and I like all the account and mess stuff up, like posting rude stuff With a laptop you can easily look up anything you applications and uses that Google docs can be then my parents would see it and so would need for what your working on. applied to. We don’t care much about teachers. Then they would think it was me that put customization, but if we were to customize it up. anything we wold make it so we could change the theme of the page. So trusted people could comment upon our work, and give us helpful information on how we can improve.
Or perhaps just let us change to a preset theme, like Wikispaces does
The concerns we have with this type of site is that I think that this would help because it's the everybody can be able to view it but it would be a websites we use, mainly in digital immersion combined into one master site. good idea if only the owner could edit it (unlike wikispaces where everyone can edit).
1. Wikispaces; this allows us to share our work with others via an easy online writing program. The only downside is that everyone can edit our work if it is not set onto private. 2. Twitter; on this we can communicate in ways such as tagging a tweet to #RSideDi, posting pictures(twitpic or yfrog), sharing notes (for tweets longer than 140 characters use twishort), and sharing videos. 3. Google Wave/Gmail; to collaborate with other people. Google Wave is amazing for having group meetings in real‐time. You can also video chat via Gmail to help others with homework and such. 4. FaceBook; this can be used to share photos, videos, and other notes that others in the class may need. You can also 'Places' and that says where you are for like field trips or something like that. 5. Engrade; we can see our grades through Engrade as well as our percent and what we scores on individual tests.
Probably, but there's always the chance of the We use these websites the most: a. Google, b. internet being down, and not being able to hand in Wikispaces, c. Twitter, d. Blogger, e. Easybib work!
