Wow! This week had a lot of really important information to cover. Most of this information was a review of things that I had already learned in previous classes. However, I believe that it is important to be refreshed and updated on things such as copyrights and fair use, because the limitations of what is acceptable change so often.
I feel more confident with my knowledge of copyright, after this weeks lesson. I also believe as an educator it is important to cover the topics of netiquette, cyberbullying and cybersaftey inside the classroom. To often these things are taken lightly. Netiquette is important because you can make an impression on someone by the way you conduct yourself online. Practicing good habits online is very important, and can insure that people receive a good impression of you.
Cyberbullying is important topic, especially with older students. In the news a couple of years ago there was a young teenager who killed herself because of the cyberbullying taking place by a peer's mother. It was a eye-opening tragedy, because to most it was something unprecedented and nothing anyone really had thought about. Could this tragedy have been avoided if better education on cyberbullying was available? I think so.
