Day 3 Workshop Ideas

First of all
Survey people googledocs on:
 their current( if necessary supported) internet use ( to include gaming & chat).
concerns regarding going online
perceived barriers to connecting with the world wide web
awareness of how to keep safe online
what they see as the advantages to having an online presence

People
Training would in all likelihood be to staff who support people directly.
There would also be a need to inform managers and senior managers as to what is being offered.
There is perhaps a need to involve care managers/ family at some point.
This would involve liaising with ICT department.
This would probably involve updating safeguarding policies (perhaps writing a new Keeping Safe Online policy)

Subjects 
what the internet is, advantages to being online, , cyberbullying, oversharing, scams, inappropriate/ illegal links, viruses;  keeping safe resources,  for example screenr, of 'how tos', mythbusting, Creative Commons Licences.

Resources:
 hands on using pcs,produce  materials that can be accessed by some of the people we support i.e. pictures and video rather than too much text, keeping safe resources, Longer term resource to include service user led presentations- a celebration of achievements and what can be done

Jo's project Idea

Tried to use Powtoon!!! Having difficulty, but I will get my head around it all!

Digital Security Project

Target Audience: Initially "Service User's". Workshops would be person centred and aimed at individuals of similar ability so the correct level of support and time would be provided and the workshop tools would be specific to each group.
Moving on to Support Staff, Carers, Family members, and so on....

How long? How ever long it takes!!! But I would look at 1/2 day workshops. This is due to transport, support hours in Day Services etc... Concentration levels, ability....

Themes: Participation workshops. Active sessions, role-play, worksheets, discussion, experiences, practical use of the internet, sites, mobile phones, Q & A, slideshows, use of things I have learned so far on this course, use of internet info, use of useful links, connection to blog specific to the session, info pack to go home with geared to the person (in symbols, picture format, text etc...)

Kit: PC's/lap tops, phones, whiteboard, note pads, cameras, microphone, projector.

Outcomes: Digital Safety Awareness!!! A better understanding.

How:
Determine the need and interest - ask, posters, flyers, contact Care Managers.
Determine levels of need to person centre the workshops by asking and questionnaire.
Invite people to attend suitable workshop.
Advertise event!!! Email, posters, flyers.
Hold event.
Ask for feedback and collate information.
Make any changes required, alter the course if necessary and change to suit others.
If successful, hold the workshop again!!! Ask Service User's if they would like to facilitate a workshop for staff and peers?


Internet Safety Ideas

So here's my plan!

I work with teenagers, so getting them to attend anything is sometimes (OK, all the time!!) a challenge!!  So a carrot will probably be needed!

I organise consultation events throughout the year and will be running a residential trip in August.  Here, we do some fun activities during the day time (the carrot!), then keep the evenings free to concentrate on work!

I'd like to then run a session on internet safety.  By this time, I'll hopefully have my blog up and running and will have used resources such as Powtoons and Animoto etc to help highlight the issue with my group.

At the session I'll hope to run, I'll keep it short and sweet (maximum half an hour) and will use a screencast to show how settings etc can be changed.

We'll look at Facebook security settings and I'd also like to address the issues raised by the Orange digital dirt YouTube video, so will show some of these videos as well.

Outcomes I'd like to see are the young people all becoming more safety aware when using the internet. Initially changing their Facebook settings would be a start!

Here's my first try at a Powtoon....!


What I will be doing...

I will be delivering a session on internet safety when shopping online.
It will be aimed at the four main target groups that my project will be aiming to help get online: people with a disability, unemployed, 50+ and people living in social housing.

I will direct them to a blog that I will create with different areas of online shopping safety.
Creating a safe password (will include a screen cast and also an embedded video/link of a BBC Web Wise game that tests the strength of your password), how to find out if a webpage is reliable, safe ways to pay online, support sites and also hints and tips.

I will need laptops, speakers, projector and access to the internet.
I want to be able to create a place where people can visit for help and advice on different online shopping internet issues.

Shopping Online Safely

Tina's workshop ideas

I will be delivering a session on Social Media, and its benefits for users. I will need to cover the safety issues therefore will  use Powtoon which will cover the topic 'are we sharing too much'. The whole session will last around 30mins-45 mins

Themes: Social medias security settings, Apps - Check ins, Dating sites, online shopping

Kit: Laptop, Projector, Speakers

Outcomes: This session will ensure that disabled people, who are not digitally included or use social media because they fear that their details aren't secure, will feel more comfortable by knowing the 'rights and wrongs'

How: Using Powtoon


Dave's Ideas

Well here we go -

Idea / Concept
I will be creating an on line Training Workshop /  resource / individual tutorials looking at Life Skills / Shopping /  friendships /  cooking /  using public /  transport security / staying safe / positive presence / employment related skills etc also at the same time creating an on line information resource hub / area - either through blogs or website etc. with viral videos

Target Audience

16+ Higher functioning Adults.

What Kit

Powtoon
Screenr / screen recording tools
Edmondo
Video resources
Orange digital dirt

Outcomes

To create an online resource for people to promote inclusion and safety from digital dangers, but also day to day difficulties those with an ASD encouter. 

How will I do it

As an ongoing project I have allot of material already sourced but will be converting in a digital way and on line tutorials

Useful tools

I think I could use these tools within my professional life: Flickr, Powtoon, edmodo

Useful Tool(s)!!!

So, I just couldn't decide and surely it's a good thing if I'm taking away more than 1 useful tool??! 

Firstly, I can see the real benefit of using screenr to promote internet safety to our young people. As long as no-one's watching me in the office, I can now make tutorials on how to update Facebook privacy settings etc and post them straight to Facebook. Think the rest of my team may like this too! I'm often asked to help out with techy bits in the office, so I can see myself using this more than once!!

Then we've got animoto.  I organise residential trips and consultation events for our care leavers and looked after children.  It will be great to be able to put together little movies to show these events and these would then be uploaded onto our Powys Youth Website.  Hopefully this will encourage more participation??!!!!


Bubble.us

This is a really easy and clear site to use, especially for younger people or people with learning disabilities as it is very tactile and has simple graphics. It can be used for a number of projects, to plan step by step on how to get to the desired results.


Tina's useful tool

I will certainly use Screenr for the digital lives blog, I can use it to create short tutorials on various things such as how to use AT, security setting, signing up to social network sites...

I also look forward to creating videos via Animoto. This is an ideal tool to create professional videos but can also show the fun side to Disability Wales Staff. We take photos from every event we hold but they are just stored on the Gdrive, this would be a great way to share.

Survey Monkey!!!!

As requested.... One thought when carrying out events or training events why not use survey monkey as a feed back report or online consultations.

Useful Tools

The tool I see myself using in my project is a screen recording tool such as Screenr.  This will be useful to people in my basic ICT workshops and also after as a reminder of how to perform a certain task e.g. how to log onto twitter.

Useful Tool from Day 2

Screenr Would be an improvement on screen-dump word docs I currently use to show people(mainly staff) how to utilise a particular technology.
As part of a welsh government project I have been asked to develop and delivering online training material and I can see this tool being a great resource
