@emilyfraseruot1 No, I need to figure out my thinking around the project. Hopeful this weekend I'll find time and inspiration.

@Elizabe27841084 I was wondering if there would be a possibility of looking at themes. Not sure how you could present this however.

@Elizabe27841084 @emilyfraseruot1 @newm4 Interesting idea. We need to be critical consumers of the views and ideas offered by others. Your point reminded me of the importance of our students developing this skill.

A4: The domain needs to be considered for young learners. As an educator I feel comfortable having a classroom, school or possibly division based community within a division vetted domain. #EDU5188chat

@Elizabe27841084 My presence defiantly changes their interactions. The policy for online use at their age is also limiting. Hopefully helping them to develop good online practice will be beneficial when they are set free online.

A3: My grade three students are new to online learning. The only communities they use are Google Classroom for discussions and collaboration within a shared doc. I am always also a member of these communities and as a result I am “there” for them. #EDU5188chat

@girouxca1 My students are young; they are blank slates as far as internet safety and etiquette. They also need to wrap their heads around collaborating and working and learning with each other, both virtually and within our classroom.

A2: The value for my students is learning to use online communities will open the doors to many opportunities for them to learn and connect in the future. The value for myself is the same but the learning and connecting could be extended to professional growth. #EDU5188chat

@girouxca1 The Virtual Campus has definitely been an online community for me. Especially when I have worked in a small group for an entire semester. I think the prerequisites for a community are: people, a common platform and a common interest or goal.

A1: I hate to admit this but my masters classes are the closest I come to being a part of an online community. This is because of time constraints, I simply do not have time. I have neglected Facebook and Twitter accounts. #EDU5188chat
