4.2 Safe, Healthy, Legal & Ethical Use
Candidates model and facilitate the safe, healthy, legal, and ethical uses of digital information and technologies. (PSC 4.2/ISTE 5b)
Artifact: Guarded Learning Blog Link
Reflection:
For this artifact, I included a link to a blog post that I created for my Internet Tools in the Classroom course. This blog post is called Guarded Learning. Within this blog entry, there is a section to inform readers about internet safety. The entry starts by talking about the importance of educating students and teachers about internet safety. I then shared two websites that address internet safety. 10 Internet Safety Tips for Students, written by Kathleen Morris and Help Kids Practice Smart Internet Habit and Stay Safe Online, written by Erin Wilkey. I also included a video titled Internet Safety for Kids K-3. These resources were geared to assist teachers in promoting safe internet behavior and lessons. The entry ended with a list of strategies to use to keep students safe.
Standard 4.2 states, “Candidates model and facilitate the safe, healthy, legal, and ethical uses of digital information and technologies.” I modeled the safe, healthy, legal, and ethical use of digital information by creating a pamphlet and sharing it amongst the staff members at my school. I facilitated the safe, healthy, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technologies by giving a short presentation during my grade level meeting. I showed my team a video that was specific to our grade level. I also shared a lesson they could use to teach their students about internet safety.
Creating this artifact helped me to learn, integrate, and share strategies to promote internet safety. In the process of creating this blog entry, I also learned about Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act (COPPA), and how it was designed to protect students from data collection and keeping students safe while they use the internet. If I were to change the process of this artifact, I would ask my principal to allow me to present this prurient information as a staff meeting. I think it is important to educate teachers on the seriousness of internet safety.
The work that went into creating the artifact impacted faculty development. Although I was not able to do a formal presentation with staff at my school, I was able to present the information to my team and share a pamphlet that included resources with the staff. The impact of this article can be assessed through the teacher's lesson plans.
