When it comes to education, one's socioeconomic status plays a big influence in their educational journey. Education is an area where the government cannot control equal opportunities because people will always be looking for the "best ways" for their children to learn. Even with public schools, living in richer areas will raise a students chances of going to college based on the facilities being offered.

I think it is important to keep things that are unprofessional off of social media. However, I could see how sharing some positive content would make you stand out to your employers. For example, sharing professional achievements might make you stand out as a more competitive applicant. You could also share volunteer opportunities or engagement in within your profession.

There are drawbacks to not utilizing social media, but it's crucial to keep things in perspective. Some choose to maintain a low profile online and make up for it by networking at conferences, industry events, or through more conventional job seeking techniques. Making sure you're still actively interacting with your industry and possible employers in a way that works for you is crucial.

Recognizing that there are real consequences for your behavior online is extremely important. Social media can heavily impact many areas within your life, such as relationships and job opportunities. This means that any negative behavior displayed online, will affect your daily life experiences. This is why it is truly important to establish a positive online environment with good digital habits.

The components of online teaching and learning will be relevant for all grade as the world is becoming more and more technological.

It is very important for teachers and parents to establish healthy relationships especially in elementary school. Both the teach and the parents are part of a team to introduce the students to the best educational opportunities possible.

Parental involvement is very important because parents help to reinforce learned material at home. Parents can help if they are not informed and included in the digital learning process.

Teachers should do their research on age appropriate learning online before they present resources to students.

Elementary teachers definitely need to be mindful of developmentally appropriate use of technology and parental involvement. Teacher should research age appropriate activities and they should communicate kid friendly learning sites so parents can see what their children are doing online.

Teachers should always need to consider timing and ownership when allowing students to work online. Teacher may need to block non-education cites to prevent students from venturing of task and away from the targeted online learning opportunity.

This may not be an easy task but ,it certainly is doable. This may take some additional time planning but it can be done. The online instruction must be quick and to the point in order to keep the attention of elementary students.

It is a great idea to establish trust with parents. Parents are entrusting their most prized possessions to teachers. Teachers should always be respectful of the parents and communicate with them as often as possible concerning the learning and growth of their students both in class and online.

It is very important to keep the lines of communication open and this helps to create a trusting environment for both parents and students. Let both students and parents know that they are valued.

Parents are co-teacher as they reinforce what is learned in school with their child when they are at home.

It is always a good idea for students to share but teachers must be sure that students are sharing to help one another improve and not to criticize or make their peers feel inferior. Kids love to share and this is a great way to get them using technology.

I totally agree that the students must be open minded and willing to participate in online learning in order for the concept to work. This requires interaction and collaboration on behalf of the students.

Elementary students often time require additional instructions and they feel more secure when there is a physical presence of a teacher to answer questions and explain things that are not understood.

Interaction is always important when teaching children. Some children may not understand the instruction and may require additional interactions with a physical person. In most cases traditional face-to-face interactions help children feel more comfortable asking questions.

We must keep in mind that not all children will be successful with on-line learning and some may shy away from technology use. Some children are just more hands on learners.

I believe teachers struggle to teach online because they are so used to direct teacher instruction models. Teachers are often time uncomfortable with what they don't understand.

This is great for beginning teachers to help explore alternative methods to help the student learn.

It is very important for parents to communicate with teachers and vice versa so they can actively reinforce learning objectives and goals at home that are learned at school.

I think this is interesting because it brings meaning to personal learning, while helping build knowledge in a collective. I wonder how different individuals help shape a collective understanding, and even shift its directions because of the questions they raise or the diverse experiences and background knowledge they have to offer.
