The requirement to investigate an organization for its ability to have and maintain a network learning environment was a chance to get into the real world and see what was really happening.
We investigated Tucson Unified School District. Within the district Technical Services (TS) has responsibility for over 23,000 computers placed in 125 schools. From network infrastructure to computer maintenance, TS is the department to acquire, implement, and sustain TUSD's computer systems.
In doing this assignment, I was able to get a much better understanding about a network learning environment. It is more than having an iGoogle account with loads of gadgets implanted on it. It is more than the hardware and software, and it is more that just using technology to keep kids engaged in their lessons. It is about connecting in a way that is conducive to knowledge gathering and learning about that knowledge.
Using Google Docs to collaborate on the report was a great way to work with others across distances. The document was a true team effort and the set up of Google Docs let it happen easily.

Network policy assignment was a challenging one because many institutions only have hard network policy and procedures and not have soft ones.
ReplyDeleteOur class is designed in NLE concept that learners create their learning content and learning from each other. So we feel overwhelmed is fairly common since we are not used to manage and to control our own learning.
Your group has done a great job on the assignment.
