Internet Safety and video

1. We should use the internet in our classrooms because our students are going to get onto the internet anyway, so why not use it as resource. Most students also enjoy spending time on the internet so I as a teacher can use that as a resource it might help them get invovled in the lesson.

2. Teachers should evalutate the sites they use for lessons and in webquest for a few reasons. First to help be an example to the students on how to use the internet properly. Two, so that we protect our students from any harmful information or contacts (and thus save our own behind from law suites). And D, so that we are sure the information we are providing is viable and up-to-date.

3.

1. Is the information appropriate?

2. Is the Information age appropriate?

3. Is the Information relevant to the lesson/unit?

4. Does the site have a bibliography?

5. Does the site have a date started and date updated?

6. Is the site un-biased

4. There are a few ways that I know of that will help keep my students safe while surfing. First is to teach them about internet safety find. Find an age appropriate internet saftey test for them to take. Another way is to be in the media lab with them while they are on the internet. Move around the room, ask questions, offer tips, and keep you eyes peeled.

VIDEO

I really enjoyed this video. One reason is I have never really been able to tell what William Joel is saying. But It is also awesome to see that history condensed and illustrated. As a student now I appreciate the pop culture being listed along side the real history, because pop culture is an extension of the politicla climate of the time it is made in. As a future teacher this is an important principle to show my creative writers, they can both illustrate and help shape the ideas of the time to help others understand them better or in a different light.
