Throughout
my high school career I never thought much of copyrighting and the fair use of
resources on the internet. I wish while I was in high school they would have
taught me the skills you need to know on what you can use, and what is off-limits.
I started learning copyrighting and fire use when I started college, but still I
did not know all that much about it. Through this activity I have gained much knowledge
about copyrighting and fair use and now I am very comfortable about what resources
I can use and what I cannot use. Looking over the different websites that were
provided for us, I thought that the “Cheat
Sheet” was very helpful. Netiquette is a tool that every student should be
taught, because having access to the internet student should be aware of how to
behave on the internet. Having the privilege of being on the internet student
should behave by treating others the way they want to be treated. As a future educator I want to be able to
provide my students with those tools so they know what resources that they can
use and what they cannot use on the internet.
Growing up in the technology
generation I have seen cyberbullying take place. I feel that cyberbullying is a
way for people that have a problem with their self can hide behind a computer
and attack others. Cyberbullying affects a person being attacked the same way
that bullying a person face to face does. In my classroom I want to be able to
provide the student with information that will help them stay away from cyberbullies,
and tell them how it affects a person life after being attacked. While I was in
high school this was not a subject to talk about, but as a future educator I
want my students to be aware of what is going on and what could happen to them
on the internet. Also, I want to have a relationship with my students so that
if cyberbullying or if they have a problem with copyrighting and fair use or
netiquette takes place they are not scared to come talk to me to receive some
form of help.
I am glad that you see that relationship is the key to protecting your students. I have found that in order for a child to feel safe in an environment, they must first connect with and feel safe with a person.
ReplyDeleteI am also glad that you can identify with the newest generation of digital natives. Knowing what it is like to grow up in the digital age sets you apart from many teachers. A lot of digital immigrants, like me, have a hard time understanding netiquette and cyber bullying. Great post!

As a teacher one of the most important things to do is to keep the students safe from being in the classroom to on the internet! Students should know how to navigate the internet, copyrighting dos and don'ts, and what you post online is public for everyone to see. One way is by teaching students how to use the internet in the right ways. As well as showing them how cyber bullying can be just as harmful as physical or verbal bullying. The only way students will be some what knowledgeable about this is by informing them as well as talking to them about it. I feel in the long run it better for them to know.
