Bebo is the new and lastest digital world for students to keep in contact. There are many positive aspects of bebo and through reading through my blog you will come to understand how design and literacy come together. Design is a very important part in a child's life as this is what they first learn to do. Design an image that is oringnal and authentic and has many to them in different context. Through allowing students to be a member of this type of blogging they are experiencing new things that will enable them to connect to the bigger and wider community of technology we are producing for them. Students need to be taught and learn the codes so are able to put them to use and be able to make meaning to them in their own individual way. Teachers need to un teach them selevs talked about by Erica Mcwilliams and see that when taking some one elses work is not copying, it may be taken and used in different context or meaning to show a whole different perspective on something. Design is a process that students need to keep referring back to. Word and images together are the most powerful of all design technologies. Let your children become a memeber of bebo and maybe thety could be the teachers of you and let you in their world of how the show meaning in representing themsleves in todays world.
