I made this notification to myself: follow this course module by module en finish a module when you start one. This is the reason I only just writing my new learning dairy.
Module 2 (How to use digital content?) was divided into 2 parts. This is my contribution on the starter activity: ( tell a little bit about yourself by briefly identifying which digital skill you are best at)
"My strongest skill in the digital area would be the abilaty of taking part in online discussions. There is always someone I know who can help me or someone else with getting answers. On the other hand I have trouble with using all my resources in my classroom."
2.1a Searching the internet, types of search engines
This part of the course show me the most important skill: HOW to find stuff. I learned some new search engines which I'm definitely going to use in class. My contribution to the padlet:
"I use google because it's the only one I'm used to. I am aware of the limited knowledge I use en teach my students. In the Netherlands there is this site called WizeNoze: http://www.wizenoze.com/en/ I think this will be great for learning students how to use the internet."
2.1b improving your search
I pinned this picture on my pinterest a while ago. Now it's usefull.

2.1c Advanced search
The picture I posted on the previous padlet was better in its place in this part of the course.
2.1d Hidden gems
New and interesting url's which i definitely can use in class. I really like instagrok with the mindmap lay-out.
2.1e Searching the future internet
I'm aware of the google alert function. Don't know why I'm not using it more often.
2.2a Content and Copyright - reliability of digital content
There is an other dutch participant in this course and I learned from her: the dutch version of the pacific treeoctopus. I was already familiar with the original version and used in my class. Not every student recognized this as a fake website.
2.2b Seven things you didn't know about Wikipedia
My contribution on the question: is this a topic in your class?
"I think this is one of the most important skills we have to teach our students. Don't use material from other people without asking!"
2.2d digital plagiarism
In my geography class plagiarism isn't a huge problem.
