Growing Up Online

This was an extremely tough video to watch at times.  It's often this side of the internet that is forgotten about or cast to the side.  We as educators may often forget how tech-savvy our students are, but we need to remember that this savviness will allow them to do many different things, both positive and negative.  We need to keep reminding students of the dangers and safety hazards this new technology poses.

For me, the biggest thing I want to work with my students on, is knowing how to effectively and safely use all the technologies I may be incorporating in the classroom.  Knowing the possibilities of the internet and how quickly things can spread, I hope to empower my students to make good choices not only with class content online but with their personal lives as well.  I think this attitude could lead to more fulfilling posts online and better use of technology for class work, something that can benefit all students.
