We (= Twenty grade 11 students of the Center of Science and Technology in Township Khayelitsha and Fre) had our first class of online media together!
We are exploring ways how technology and online media can make a difference in our communities.
We use mobile phones to source stories (about: communities, community organizations, politics, environment, technology/innovation, environment, entrepreneurship, ..) and post them online on this blog (a Wordpress Multi user site).
Today we explored some possibilities of the internet, we looked at Google, Wikipedia, and the concept of blogging.
We also talked about the impact that words have on other people, how they can harm our own image, have an impact on other people and easily can be misinterpreted by other people.
We explored the ‘ownership’ of words online. The fact that the whole world is able to see what we are writing about.
We created the categories for this blog that we want to report about and gave them a name.

The internet as a technology enables people to connect, share and communicate with each other.
I admire all of you for taking this step and explore things which can enrich your lives! Enjoy!
