This is my first Bitstrip! This is my own creation. I am allowed to put this on my website. More importantly, other people cannot put this on their website without either asking or citing my website. As a teacher, we brainstorm and share ideas with each other. There is a site devoted to people sharing ideas on a multitude of topics. Pinterest is a huge site used by teachers candidates. During placement I photocopied books and used activities from the internet without a second thought. It is important that teachers do their research before using ideas or work a source.
As important as it is for teachers to be informed, it is as important for us to inform our students on internet safety. The internet can be used to to make great learning opportunities in the classroom if used properly. Allowing students to use a safe environment to learn can keep students engaged. If we as teachers are going to allow students to use the internet, we have to teach students to stay safe. The bitstrip above is to teach students that whatever they post in the internet will always be on the internet. With students learning about technology at such a young age we as educators need to be able to educate them about technology as young as possible.
