Reflection 6

Why we should or should not use the internet in education?
I think that we as teachers should us the internet for education. The kids are going to need to know how to use a computer and how to use it in a safe way. They need to know that they shouldn't put information out on the internet, as well as many other things.
Why should we evaluate the sites we use?
We should evaluate them for a few different reasons. First so that we know that our student is looking at appropriate things, that doesn't have any bad content in it at all. Secondly we need to evaluate our sites so that we don't get compliants from the parents because their child is looking at bad sites on the internet. Lastly so that we know that what we are having the kids look up has good content and information that they need.
Questions to ask yourself when evaluating a site?
The questions that i ask myself when evaluating a site is first, does this article come from a credible source? Is it something that i can trust? I also like to ask myself the 5W's. Who, What, Where, When, and Why. Who wrote this, isit reliable? What is this site saying, is it pertaining to what you are searching? Where did the information come from, is it from a person or a book that you trust? When was it written? Why is this information helpful to you?
Ways to keep your students safe?
There are ways as teachers that you can keep your students safe. Make sure that they know about internet safety, to not give out their information. Make sure that you evaluate and check the sites that you are having your kids go to. Take the iniciative in making sure that what you have the kids do is safe for them.
Video Reflection
I liked this weeks video. It was straight to the point and exactly what everyone needs to know. I am going to tell my kids that the internet is great if you know what you are doing and you know what not to do while on the internet. I think that i will keep this movie as one of my favorites to show others and my kids so that they also know more about internet safety.
