Internet Safety Reflections
1.What article did you choose to read for your article of choice?
The Savior Is Counting on You
Elder Joe J. Christensen
Of the Presidency of the Seventy
2.Describe the video resources you watched?
Netsmartz
iKeepSafe Faux Paws
Video: A Revolution in Classrooms and Social Life
Katie’s Story
Videos and Public Service Announcements
3.Write a paragraph describing what your most important "take-aways" were from the readings and video?
I learned that the internet is a marvelous tool for good, regardless of the dangers that lie there. By biggest take-away was the church's support of still using the internet, instead of just taking away the danger. It showed to me that there really is eternal value in the internet, such as learning, family history, and communication. Used in the right way, the internet can be a blessing of eternal worth.
4.Write a paragraph or more describing the details of your "doing" experience (you don't need to include any names). This might include:
I was impressed with how much he already know about internet safety. He was aware of the pitfalls of naivety and had been taught well in school the way to use the internet safely. He was interested in what I had to share with him. He learned a little bit more about cyber bullying and all that really entails. I was surprised that he was so "okay" with everything I had to say. I thought he would be a little more shocked like I was. Hopefully he will be a little more aware when he gets more internet privileges like facebook.

Technology Videos
After watching the following films: I love Spiders (5:16 min), Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? (5:52 min) and Habitats (4:38 min), I learned the technology not only a great idea, but it is actually doable. I loved watching the internet communication from the spider clip. Watching the students connect with another class in another state added so much more meaning to the children in both classes. It connected social studies with science and computer technology. This integration has been taught in our class, but it was helpful to see it actually implemented. It was a relief to see that using technology is actually feasible. From Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? I learned that even without the best technology, students can still have meaningful experiences. Mrs. Davis’ story extensions were not only great ideas, but again, she was able to follow through with her plans in making story extensions with Brown Bear Brown Bear. Habitats was a wonderful way to again enhance curriculum with a doable project. She was able to teach not only curriculum, but taking advantage of the specialist, she taught many computer lessons, and even an ethics lesson.
