Internet Safety Reflection
We should definitely use the Internet while teaching. Although the Internet has its risks, it holds so much creativity for our students. The Internet can keep my students involved and interested in learning. It will give new ways of learning that students really need. They will be able to have hands learning.

It is vital that as teachers we evaluate the sites we include in the classroom. Although the Internet has incredible tools, it still has inappropriate material just a few key types away. It is important that we know the information on the site is accurate and important for the knowledge of our students.
The questions that I will ask myself while determining websites I will use in my class include:
1. Who wrote the pages and are they an expert?
2. What is the purpose of the site?
3. When was the site created or last updated?
4. Where does this information come from?
5. Why is this page better than others?
6. Why is this information useful for my purpose?
One way to insure safe Internet surfing is to put Internet filters on each computer that will be used. I will also talk with my class about being careful while searching the web. Before using the computers my students will need to take a paper home and have it signed that explains the things we will be doing in class on the computer. Each student will also have to sign the paper, by doing so they commit to only surfing appropriate sites.
This week I viewed the video, "Did You Know 3.0." I found this video very interesting. I really enjoyed learning so many facts that I didn't know in just five short minutes. It is incredible how much the world will be changing in the next few years. We have come so far in technology, and things will only get better. I look forward to all of the incredible ways that technology will influence the classroom.
