Blog 5: Digital citizenship

 Digital literacy and online ethics


For me, I think internet safety and digital citizenship would be helpful for my students to learn. One of the internet safety websites that I found to be interesting and essential for students is NetSafe Utah, because it provides online resources for the youngest to the oldest and, most importantly, contains the internet safety information that schools need to meet the Children's Internet Protection Act. Cyberbullying is one of the issues that many schools struggle with, and I believe that this website, www.netsafeutah.org, would help raise awareness among our students and protect them from any harm caused by cyberbullying. Another useful resource is Edutopia, which helps raise awareness among students about digital citizenship. This would be beneficial to students, as they would gain proactive knowledge about private information, passwords, personal information, etc., so they could stay protected from any harmful digital information. 

Copyright

Copyright is one of the main important topics that I want my students to learn about and become familiar with. As this topic goes along with our faith that "we believe in being honest and true," which honesty is really needed in our lives and in everything we do here on earth, we, as learners, can become good educators and trustworthy in our doings, which makes everything better. It will be helpful for my students to learn that copyright refers to the original works of authorship in an unchangeable form. Making them aware of the consequences of taking someone else's work without permission and how serious it would get them into trouble and dishonesty, including different categories of copyright such as literary works, pictures, music, videos, etc.

    In my opinion, this course has led us to many great things including the opportunity to extend our horizon of knowledge to many other ways to prevent our identity and dignity on the cyber world of technology. The idea of cyberbullying is increasing and those web pages like the one you share can definitely minimized the effect of these kinds of attitudes on the net and all around the world.

Blog 1: Using Technology

 Blog 1 Prior experiences using technology My very first-time using technology was so difficult for me. I couldn't figure out how to use it until I played around with it and became acquainted with it, as well as with the assistance of others. It was extremely relaxing knowing how useful technology is and being able to understand how it works. My first encounter with the iPhone, for example, was difficult because I had to use my Apple ID and remember it in order to gain access to the device, and there were many more things for Apple devices, such as keeping it updated to the latest software. However, as I experimented with technology and learned how various devices work, I became acquainted with and gained background knowledge for the future use of new devices. Hope to learn from this class My hope to learn from this class is to be able to gain knowledge on how certain technology works that can be used effectively in future teaching. I also wanted to get familiar with this use of te...
