First and most important to me is to teach safety online. Online bullying and predators are an ongoing threat to our students. I attended isafe training and have incorporated the guidelines from their training in my monitoring of my students online. Even if you think you will not make a difference, always offer advice about websites, facebook postings, etc. As an adult in their life we have a responsibility to make sure they are being safe online both at school and away from school.
The second area of concern is that students use valid sources in their research. The majority of the time the student will just accept the first entry from a google search as fact. Is there an app to verify that a source is giving correct information? Some one please design that app and teachers will have one less obstacle to using internet resources!
My third area of concern is to teach how to make appropriate, valuable comments while following the school policy on internet use.
