Unit 6: Cyberbullying

When looking at the different websites on cyberbullying, I realized that there is a lot of information out there that needs to be shared with families, students, and staff.  The website that I thought was the most useful was the internet safety 101 website.  Things that I really liked about this website were the safety tips along with the parents guides.  These are really useful things.

To answer the question how could I use some of these resources in my school would be just to require the staff and students to do some research on this topic just like I am doing for this course.  One thing that I liked about the FBI website was the computer games for the grades to play while learning the cyberbullying.  Another thing we could do is bring in an expert to have an assembly on cyberbullying.  We did that once and had good parent turnout.

A way to teach students and staff about cyberbullying would be to have them look through these websites and information and make them aware of this.  I think that most people realize it is happening, but not at the high rate of occurrence that it is.  The more people that realize how important this is, the less it would happen.

Unit 3: CoSN

Before looking at this week's assignment, I did not know anything about the CoSN organization and never had been to their website.  After looking at their website, I have learned that is it a useful website that I can refer back to for multiple different things.  One of the first things I found when looking at the website was the empowering superintendents portion of the website.  From what I gathered from looking at this portion of the website, they have webinars that provides important information that superintendents need to make sure schools are using technology properly and protecting students data and other things.  I thought this portion of the website is useful for me that it provides training opportunities for me to make sure our school district is using the technology appropriately.   Another thing that I thought was very useful from this website was the ideas they have to provide equity to the students in the school districts in regards to techno...

Unit 1: Introductions & Role of Technology

For this unit, we had to watch three videos and talk about what we learned from them. When watching the video "What is the Value of a Teacher", I learned quite a few things. When he starts talking about how to use google properly, I did not know anything about what he was saying. In addition, I agree that teachers need to change the assignments to meet the standards of today and the use of the internet compared to the same assignments that teachers have given before the internet started. I also thought the use of the prism website was a cool idea to show classmates that the majority of them think the same thing and it is not too scary to talk during the class. Finally, I thought the idea of connecting globally was a pretty cool idea. The teacher in Moose Jaw having the children in Vietnam teach her children how to build a video camera is a great idea. I think that the more teachers can implement technology in their classroom, the more they can differentiate instruction...

Unit 8: One-to-One Initiatives

When looking at one-to-one initiatives, there are many things that come to my mind.  First and foremost, the Eureka School District has been a one-to-one school for more than a decade and I could not picture us going back.  In fact, I look at a school like Herreid where my parents taught for over 30 years and they are not one-to-one.  This actually surprises me, and makes me feel very thankful for being in a district that understands the importance of technology in our instruction.  There are many benefits of being a one-to-one school.  One of them is that the students have the computer at their fingertips at any point work on anything they need to.  Another would be that it could be a selling point for a family to choose a district that is one-to-one compared to a district that is not.  However, my thoughts are that the most important benefit of being a one-to-one school is the ability to prepare our students for life after school.  With everythi...
