Computer Safety and Security Wiki

Home » Uncategorized » Computer Safety and Security Wiki

I am having students from this year edit the work of last year's students. This is a great exercise. I really like the avoiding viruses page — while not perfect, it is a good overview, particularly the slide share at the top of the page.

And I love the effective online privacy wiki as well.

Back to grading!

The point is that sometimes students should not only create from scratch, but should edit something previous students have done — asking themselves what should be improved. Sometimes asking oneself what is missing is exactly the type of deep learning experience needed. I'm finding I have to work with students on editing. We have a lot of improvement to do.

Really good point about having students go back and edit other student’s work. The critical thinking involved in that is great for gifted students. Thanks for the reminder.

I think there is a lot to be gained from this exercise. Next year’s students will have to analyze what’s been said, compare it to their own research, improve what’s been said and how it’s been said. I have those plans for next year’s seventh graders and my student’s 2007-2008 Copyright, Fair Use, and Plagiarism wiki.
