Reflection #12

Throughout my K-12 years at Public School I remember learning little to nothing about Digital Citizenship, so being able to have an open discussion about that topic is very refreshing to me. After doing that small project last week (the one where Jordyn and I made that video) I am amazed at the options technology has for social networking as well as the steps specific sites are taking to ensure that those visiting their sites are safe and secure. I think with every teacher and especially parent there is the worry that comes along with texting, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. But as teachers, if we take a step up to the plate and begin to expose the facts and safety precautions of this technology it will hopefully allows students to realize that they need to be careful and smart when subscribing or joining anything online.,
