National Boards Component 3- Focus on Digital Safety and Ethics
The content of this instructional component is designed to engage students in an activity on the importance of safe and ethical use of digital information. It showcases my continual development and delivery of the importance of digital ethics and responsible use, as discussed in PGE Digital Safety and Ethics. The overall objective of this lesson is that students will be better managers of their digital footprints and conscious of the information they post online. This generation of students have proven themselves quite capable adapting to new technologies. While they may have the technical ability to navigate through the digital world, most of them lack the intuitive skills to …show more content…

It is an extension of my online resources managed on my media website that deal with safety online. My goals for this lesson are that learners will recognize the positive and negative aspects of using the Internet and digitals tools to communicate, including texting, gaming and other forms of social media. They will research and be aware of ways in which online predators gain and use information with the intent to cause physical, emotional or financial harm. They will make better decisions about what information to share online and internalize the need to be ethical in what they say and post online. They will also be aware of the consequences of colleges and potential employers viewing shared information. For the visual part of the lesson, I show the students a video from Netsmartz about a teen who posted explicit photos online and suffered consequences for this action when she applied to college a year later. In the video segment, it can be noted that the students are very attentive to this story, demonstrating that they relate to the stories of other teens who have experienced the negative side of social …show more content…

I have discovered excellent avenues of information on sites such as Common Sense Media and Netsmartz, a tool which I applied in the video lesson. This lesson is a component of the overall unit of Internet Ethical and Safety Guidelines that I share throughout the year. I also include as part of my lesson a short video presentation from 2007 -Tracking Teresa- How Hard is it to Track Kids Online? Though dated, this short video is an excellent example of how predators can track a teen’s digital footprint. I have shown this to classes and asked them to write an update describing how these tracking practices would be used with current social media and gaming websites.

Examples of students who made mistakes and were not cautious enough on social media sites are given in the essay.

On a daily basis, you might see teenagers texting on their phones or searching the web on their laptops, but have you ever imagine the possible dangers they could be in? Installing spyware on teens’ computers for the wrong purpose can lead to an increasing amount of problems such as the lack of trust and the invasion of privacy. In his persuasive essay,” The Undercover Parent,” (2008) Harlen Coben claims that parents should be able to monitor their children on the Internet as long as it is strictly for protection.

Women of the Renaissance were looked at in mediocre ways to men Women of all ages were negated of political rights and were pondered strictly subjective to their husbands and must obey them under all measures.
