What I Learned from Other Presentations
It was fun to watch other people's presentations and see how everyone was able to use technology in their classrooms. There were many different ideas that I was able to get from watching them but one thing that I really learned was that children are sometimes more excited to learn when you use technology. This will in turn get them more interested in the subject matter and they will become more involved. That could lead to a better understanding of what is being taught. There are so many ways to use technology within a lesson and this can enhance a lesson by allowing the children to become more actively involved. This will also give the children a chance to see how to properly use the technology so they can use it in the future.
Internet Safety
1. What article did you choose to read for your fourth article?
The fourth article that I chose to read was Called "Righting Internet Filth". This article was by Mario Hipol and the first one under the Internet Safety link on the LDS website and thus I thought it would be very valuable to my learning. I found that this article gave a lot of helpful and valuable information to adults and parents for how they could protect the children around them from the 'filth' on the internet. It gave actual instructions for parents and adults to follow so that they could protect their personal computers in their homes.
2. What were the most important things you learned from the readings?
One of the things from the reading that I thought was very important was that even a same game could lead into additive behavior. This is why it is so important for everyone to decide today to avoid harmful information and filth by protecting our lives from this additive behavior. We need to start following different ways to protect not only ourselves but others around us so that we do not fall into a difficult situation. This will prevent many of the problems that will arise if we do this today.
3. How will what you have read influence your actions as a parent and/or teacher of children and youth?
I've learned so much information from these articles that it is difficult to see me not using the information to better my life and those around me. First, I think that I am much more aware of the dangers that everyone can come across as they are on the internet and so I want to take precautions to ensure that my future children and students will less likely fall under the grasps of additive behavior and internet filth. Now I know that I will safeguard against the many problems that could arise on the internet. Additionally, now that I understand that such small things can become addictive behaviors, I believe that I will spend less time on the computer doing things that are pointless, such as checking facebook. There are better things I could and should be doing with my time.
4. How can you use what you have learned from the reading to have a positive influence on family and friends?
One way to help my family and friends is to make them aware of the problems that can arise from the internet. That is the first step to preventing the negative problems, is to be aware of them and their risk. Also, I could help them to know and understand the different prevention tactics to use in order to protect themselves and others from the evils on the internet. By introducing them to the articles that I read, they would be able to see the danger and become aware of different situations in their own lives. Additionally, when I have children of my own I can teach them about the problems and the blessings of the internet so that they know the difference.
