ePortfolio 7

My own resource
If I were to make my own resource, I think it would need to be something that was engaging and simple to follow. I would use many different resources and means of presenting the information. I think it would be cool to make digital links from real life to the website. I was thinking about an Aura which is a virtual reality smart phone app that allows the user to scan a give object and more information about the given topic.

More info on other resources
Cyberwise
This is a resource for grownups who want to help youth use digital media confidently and safely. They give presentations and workshops, teach in person and online courses called Cyber Civics, appear on TV, radio and print, and produce simple videos, ebooks, and marketing campaigns.

Trace my Shadow
This tool is one that allows you to get a glimpse into the digital traces you’re leaving- how many, what kinds, and from what devices. While this seemed like a useful resource I found the website lacking information. I wanted to see an example or testimony from other uses but non was available.

                                       
Webonauts Internet Academy
This is a resource for younger students and parents. It consists of games and activities students can do at home. I am not sure how this could be incorporated into a classroom, but I am sure it could be done. This is a very user friendly and simple site to use. The only down side I can see is that children need to be able to read the prompts. The programs moto is observe, respect, and contribute.
I also liked that at one point it asked me to look at my arm pad J

Be internet Awesome

This is a website full of resources for digital safety. It focuses on the classroom at at home. Similarly, to Webonauts it has videos and games to help children and students learning digital citizenship. It seems to offer an entire curriculum for teachers to use and has them formatted for different operating processors.

ePortfolio-week 2

  This week we focused on looking at how the ISTE standards have changed from 1998-2017. It was interesting to see what I found compared to what my classmates did. Looking more in depth version 1 focuses on technology at a basic level. I believe this is because in 1998 computers and the internet were just becoming common. The creators of the standards were focused on students being proficient in the use of technology. When I read that I though it related to the surface level of for example a computer. In the second version (2007) the standards shift from the basics of technology to more in depth standards because technology is more common. The 2016 version of the standards seem to be a lot more focused on the collaboration technology can bring to a student’s education. What will the 4th version look like? I think that is a very interesting question because I find it hard to predict where technology will be in 2025. I can definitely see the use of assistive tec...

final project reflection

673 reflection In todays very technology saturated environment it is important for students to realize that being a responsible and safe digital citizen is so important because it can have lifelong affects. Common sense media is one resource that is available to the public. As a mom myself I wanted to create a way to present a comprehensive introduction to this vital resource, because in asking a few of my friends it seemed that many people knew very little about what materials and resources common sense media had to offer. Common sense media was one of my favorite resources I got to explore this semester. I learned so much and found so many new sources of information I can use in my role as a teacher and a mother. The one I found most helpful was the sliding menu that allows you to pick your child’s age and the site will collect a list of appropriate material including books, movies, T.V. shows, and games. With so much invaluable information being missed I decided for my final ...
