I think that internet awareness is extremely important. I think it is important for kids to realize that not everything on the internet is true. So learning to be able to verify info on different sites is important.
Learning about internet safety is a big part of being able to use the internet. I think that technology is a wonderful thing, but I also think it is super important to help children be prepared with the tools and skills of using the internet to help protect them and their families. I think that doing a Internet Awareness night is a great idea to do as a real teacher.
I also really enjoyed learning about Publisher these last few weeks. Making a brochure, newsletter or flyers with this program will come in handy when I am an actual teacher!
I hope you will be able to pass your enthusiasm on to your students!
ReplyDeleteEducation and awareness is really the key with internet safety. I don't think we will be able to keep students away from the internet--there is too much good information there--but we do have an obligation to teach them to use it safely and wisely.
