COLLABORATIVE ICT

DEVELOPMENT
Team structure and dynamics for ICT Content
 So far, we have created blogs and website
that we can categorize as personal. But like the
many websites and blogs you visit everyday, you
see that some of them are produced by multiple
people.
THINK OF THE BLOG YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY
CREATED. ASK YOURSELF THE FOLLOWING
QUESTIONS:

1. Who is the target audience of my blog?

2. Are the blog spots of good quality?
3. Is my blog updated regularly?
4.Who usually comments on my blogs?
Facebook would not be that interesting if it
were not for all your friends. In fact, the
more friends you have, the more content
you get. This also rings true for other
websites and blogs. It is now time for us to
create a collaborative ICT content.
 WEB PORTALS
A web portal is a website that contains information from different sources
and places them in one location in a uniform way. An example of a web portal is
Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com). Yahoo.com offers a web portal where news, email,
weather, etc. are found in one page. The information found in the image came
from different websites/sources.
 ONLINE COLLABORATIVE TOOLS
Working together does not necessarily mean you have to be physically together. These
tools can help your group ”go the distance” and work as if you already have your own office.
There are plenty of online collaborative tools:
1. You can use Facebook groups to create a group page that will allow people in your group
to communicate your ideas.
2. WordPress also allows you to multiple contributions for a single blog.
3. Google drive and Microsoft office online allow multiple people to work on different office
files and even have their own group’s cloud storage.
4. Microsoft’s Yammer offers companies to have their own social network that allows
sharing and managing content.
5. Sites like Trello offer an online to-do checklist for your entire team.
USING TRELLO FOR ONLINE

CREATING A PORTAL USING JIMDO OR WORDPRESS

1. Inside the classroom, find a least four people you have mutual interest with.

blogs and posts.
3. Create a lost of tasks and use Trello to organize your tasks as a group and to
make sure that no task is left undone.
4. Design the web portal to fit your group’s interest. Alternatively, you can also
modify the individual blogs to make them more similar. Design graphics for

blogs.

 YOUR TIME TO SHINE

Trello? If yes, what are they and what do you use them for?
