Mobile broadband is a very important meta-trend. It has helped people all around the world to do many different things. For example, it has helped people communicate with each other in ways people in the past have never thought was possible. Also, it was helped in many businesses by using (for example) videoconferences to connect people from different areas of the world, instead of them having to travel for that one conferen…

• Discuss the main social and ethical issues related to the topic and weigh up the main ideas
The main social and ethical issues with my topic is abusing the power and freedom you are given on these sites. For example on
wikipedia, posting false information on as fact or on
Youtube by posting rude illicit videos. Another social and ethical issue which could arise would be cyber bullying…this could be done on any t…

I finally finished my second Video since my first video I could not upload it because it is in my laptop which needs a new hard drive. The most things I learned is to always have backup. At the beginning of this project, I was scared to fail this because I never ever was in touch with people from around the world in a project. This was my first time and I really enjoyed it.
We were put into groups. In total, there were thirteen groups. The group that I was in is Collaboration Webs and I had to f…

After finishing our Design Technology (DT) units for Term 1 and half of Term 2, we joined the IT class, with Mrs. Lindsay. For last year’s IT subject, we learned things that are related to graphics and web designing such as the use of Adobe and Macromedia. As for this year in Grade 10, we were to make video clips on the impacts of technology on humans. At the same time, we were divided into groups, not just between us, but as well as students from around the world, like the U.S., Australia, Japa…

The topic of
Connecting People via the Network is one of the most vital meta-trends of the Horizon Project. I believe so because without communicating through the network with the other students, without connecting with the teachers and without connecting with each other using the network, the chances of this project to be successful are very low. I believe that communicating and using the network is absolut…

I have finally finished my requirements with the horizon project. At the beginning I honestly thought I was going to fail this course as I never heard about horizon Project. Some of the students said it was similar to face book and flickr but considering that I do not go on either of the social utilities, I was still frightened!
We were all put into groups, in total there were thirteen groups. I was out in the group “Grassroots video” and I had to focus on its “Impact on Education.”
At first I d…

Learning about Collective Sharing and Generation of Knowledge was very interesting for me. It was a topic I have never came across, amongst all the others, and was curious on gaining more information about it. What was even more interesting was that I discovered and learned about these topics a long with the help of an incredible team member. How relevant? Collective Sharing and Generation of Knowledge is all about COLLABORATIVE work; you collect your knowledge and then you share it! Now this wa…

In today’s society, we are constantly submerged in collaboration. Aspects of collaboration makes communication so simple. “Collaboration no longer calls for expensive equipment”(Horizon Report 2008) New tools are very small, portable, free, and flexible. This allows for users to participate in more collaboration. There are so many different tools that are addressed when talking about Collaborative Webs. Tools ranging from Computers to Cell phone open doors fo…

The Penninsula, Qatar's leading English daily paper published a short version of our orignal press release. Here is the
online version. I sent them a great pic from my class but it is not in the online version....will have to check the newspaper itself.
Did anyone else get local publicity??

Congratulations to all students who managed to produce a multimedia artifact in time for the judging! I have spent a few hours of the past 2 days watching these videos and tidying up wiki pages (so that it is easier for outsiders to understand what is going on). You should all be feeling a sense of relief and of achievement.
What happens now?
Well, post-project reflections are very welcome, and please post them on this Ning so we can all read them.
Also, don't forget to fill in t…

This project was very interesting. Communicating with different people form different cultures is an interesting way of learning. Even thought the website is a good looking one, it was hard to find yourself around this vast website!! But overall I had fun participating and it is a healthy experience of learning and discovering new things that everyone should at least try to experience.

I think this Project is hard to accomplish but overall a good experience for it helped us get closer to the web world and have connections with other people from other countries and learn to work in groups long distance. It’s amazing how we can organize and cooperate with people so far away and this makes us realize the effectiveness of web communities such as Ning. This project also makes you be aware of all the fields in life that technology affects such as communication, medicine, science etc…

This semester in computers we did a Project with wikispaces. Each one of us got assigned a group. In this group kids of all countries worked. The first thing we did was create a Ning, after we contacted with the people of our group. We then began working on a video, this video had to explain our topic in the WIKI. My topic was about Impact on government, politics and employment in games as pedagogical platforms. At the beginning I had problems entering my wiki and posting comments but these last…

This Project could have been a blast, but do a lack of clarity it has been discontrolled and do to that it has not been as fun as it could have been with more control or clarity. For me there was a lack of clarity, so it could have far more interesting. Excluding those factors this project has been good because it has a good combination between socializing and learning.
