When taking the Quiz Yourself I scored a 9/12! I was really surprised with this result! On the second part of the Quiz I scored a perfect 6/6!! One thing the really stunned me when I took the first part of the quiz what the fact that Whites have the lowest media usage and Hispanics have the highest I though for sure it was to total opposite!
How do I use it? - Stay safe online, was a site that I looked at. This website allows parents to have "other" ways of thinking and provides them with safety tips about media usage.
What is it? - Teacher web - I looked at Teacher website solutions, on this website teachers can come up with a way to organize all of their information for their students and stay connected with the students parents.
Learn more - Media Awareness Network - The Media awareness network is a place where teachers can go and learn about safety, privacy, and online marketing, cyber bulling, and be able to evaluate online information that show stereotyping and hateful content. Media Awareness also provides workshops, tutorials and speaking notes for teachers.
Examples - Teacher Tube - This has a variety of video's that teachers can use to help teach a subject or specific topic. There are videos, lesson plans, and job listings on this website for teachers to use.
PBS Resources - Growing up online - I have not grown up one hundred percent in the online day in age but it defiantly affects me when I talk to my little brother. We talk about things like Facebook. playing games online, and being on his phone non-stop Dillon does not understand why this is annoying a rude to do when other people are in front or around you.
Dillon doe snot see the problem with always being on his phone and having two totally separate conversations going on while someone is standing right in front of him or at the dinner table with him. To me this is so frustrating and I actually get very angry when he does this. I also get even more upset when I am out with friends or something and they are on their phones non-stop. Truly I just want to tell these people STOP what you are doing and enjoy the people that are with you at that moment. This is something that in some way worry's me because I don't think I will ever be able to "connect" with these types of people.
Integrating Digital Tools and Content - Edublogs or create class blogs is something that I could like to have my students do I think that this could be a great way to get my students talking with one another and if they have questions about an assignment they could easily get an answer by posting it on their blog and having their classmates respond. This would clearly have to be monitored to make sure that no one was giving out answers.
Voice Thread - This could be an awesome way to get my students involved in analyzing things and crating short voice clips explaining a subject matter. This could be used for students to formulate a report, spell their spelling words, or crate a daily class news report. There are so many different unique ways that Voice Thread can be applied to the classroom.
Prezi.com - this is a website that I would use for students to create a document much like a power point for the class if they are doing a presentation. This is a tool that all the students would be able to use unlike power point where if you don't have it on your home computer you are unable to work on your project at home. This way all students will be able to work wherever they are and on any computer to complete their assignment.
