Technology is pervasive in today's society. We as parents and teachers have the responsibility of teaching the correct behavior when using technology.
1. I would teach them about the ethical use. I want to teach them to treat other people the way they want to be treated. Bullying can happen online too and kids need to understand and apply the concept of respect.
2. We always talk about safety in schools through fire drills, etc. Now we need to talk to them about online safety. I am going to teach my pre-k students about “strangers’ on the web. They are not supposed to give specific personal information.
3. I will teach my students not to abuse technology. They need to interact with people in real life too. They can not be just in front of technological devices and forget about people around them.
With the transformation of our classrooms we need to involve parents in the process as well.
Outstanding blog!
ReplyDeleteParticularly, you should be commended for your concern about Safety.
Safety should always be our number 1 priority!
It is very important to use new technologies to go beyond the school walls and consolidate a participatory educational project in which different actors can interact and democratize knowledge. Congratulations on this achievement.
