Searching in this way is a good idea in two respects – it reduces the number of items you have to deal with and ensures that you get material which you can reuse. For example, when we did this search, using the word ‘fish’, and restricting the results to those ‘labeled for reuse’, we were able to reduce the hits on Google images from over 104 million to a more much manageable 500. | Searching in this way is a good idea in two respects – it reduces the number of items you have to deal with and ensures that you get material which you can reuse.

''' | '''Reviewing your sources''' | ||
When looking for material to use in the classroom, using ‘reliable, high quality’ sites to start with can take some of the guesswork out of finding resources that can be re-used legally. The objective of this course activity is to revisit the sites you normally use, and review them to see whether they are good sources of legal-to-use information. | When looking for material to use in the classroom, using ‘reliable, high quality’ sites to start with can take some of the guesswork out of finding resources that can be re-used legally.

Go to the sites that you normally use as sources of material (or choose ones that other people shared in the forum during Activity 1). Note down any information about the copyright associated with those sites. To what extent can you legally use material from them? | Go to the sites that you normally use as sources of material (or choose ones that other people shared in the forum during Activity 1).

So what is a wiki? A wiki is a website for sharing and developing ideas, materials, plans etc. Any page of the website can be changed by anyone (sometimes usernames and passwords are needed, sometimes edits can be anonymous). Only one person can edit any one page at one time but as soon as they have finished and saved, anyone else can then edit it. | So what is a wiki?

'''Exploring Wikis''' | |||
Wikis are gaining popularity with teachers who recognise its power as a creative and collaborative tool. Teachers are exploring ways of integrating them into their teaching and learning. Some are sharing examples of pupil work, others are encouraging pupils to contribute to a class wiki. | Wikis are gaining popularity with teachers who recognise its power as a creative and collaborative tool.

'''Wiki Structure''' | |||
'''Thinking about structure''' | |||
Wikis, like any other website can have different structures to suit different contexts. These range from a single web page to a series of linked web pages both of which can be edited by individuals or groups of people. | Wikis, like any other website can have different structures to suit different contexts.

By looking at other examples of wikis and seeing what other people are doing and thinking about how to use wikis, you will be able to generate ideas about how you might structure and use a wiki to suit your own context. | By looking at other examples of wikis and seeing what other people are doing and thinking about how to use wikis, you will be able to generate ideas about how you might structure and use a wiki to suit your own context. | ||
