Insite Project

A project called Insite was brought to the attention of the ICT elective class. This project is a research and is run in Indiana by Purdue University . . This was an optionally project to take part in which helps to develop a repository of Web 2.0 technologies. I feel that educationally this is a great resource to have and something that I look forward to taking part in.

I have been allocated to team 8 and will look at http://www.99chats.com/ Having looked briefly at this, I have made a sudden judgement that I am sure will change through understanding and investigating. My first thought about this was that I did not see it being a 'safe' resource in the sense that anyone could access it and post anything on it. (Some of which I witnessed the other night which I found highly inappropriate.) However, upon further inspection I realised that if I set up an account then I could have my own room. Again, from a teacher's perspective, I still do not see this being a good resource because comments cannot be moderated and people can still enter the chatroom.

This is the chatroom that I have set up. Please feel free to enter it and see what you think about it. Please leave a comment on this page sharing your thoughts about this resource. You do not need to sign up to use this resource, you merely have to create a username and start typing.




So far, not entirely sure about this resource. But will keep posted about developments in both my thinking and understanding about this resource.
