21st Century Citizenship Lesson
Reflect
on how one establishes a classroom culture where students respect
themselves and others and interact safely on the Internet.
Establishing a classroom culture where students respect themselves and others on the internet starts with information and modeling. In a classroom with young students such as mine, it is very important to model safe and respectful behavior directly for the students. With the use of our new interactive whiteboards, it would be easy to demonstrate this for the class. I would show examples of appropriate, respectful and safe internet behavior for my students with this tool. Then, I would continue to monitor my students' internet use as much as possible. I would display examples of my students demonstrating this type of responsible behavior on my interactive whiteboard for the entire class to view positive practice of these internet interactions.
Using the interactive whiteboard is a great tool to display positive and respectful use of the Internet. I think modeling is the best thing that we can do as teachers to ensure that students know the expectations of appropriate use.
ReplyDeleteI also like the idea of using the whiteboard to model appropriate use of the internet. We need to keep reminding our students of class expectations for the internet and how to remain safe when using it.
