Our job as teachers to assess this and make sure our students know how to work technology.

Great to get feedback from people!

Love this! I can connect to this because a lot of my "art" friends have personal pages to sell and spread their artwork.

Connections with society through in person experiences/online ones are so important.

I love this example. It is cool to see how connections online can make you successful/build your experiences snd opportunities.

I agree. I was introduced technology growing up but compared to some of my peers I am behind. I think it is highly important to teach children about the internet/how to use it.

So true. Technology is such a big part of today's society and it is important that we as future teachers know how to use it.

So true. It is so important to highlight the negative aspects of the internet and let students be aware of this before hand. Most of my activities in elementary, middle, and high school were set on private within my classes.

This is always my concern. Technology is a great tool but only if used correctly and it is our job as future educators to know this.

I like how there was an example provided for these two terms. I think examples are important in the classroom and these terms.

This is a big thing for me since I want to be an art teacher and since I want to incorporate technology into my class. I want to teach students how to share/document artwork online even with younger students we could make it private within the class. This would be great so they could comment on each others work.

Very important to respect different cultures and understand everyone is online.

Important to connect with others/share ideas esp. as a teacher.

I do not have any experience in this. I was not aware of its importance.

our websites!

Need to focus on this because technology/sources can be helpful, but if the correct information is not provided then this is where it gets messy.

I just learned how to do this. I think it is important to being these steps in the classroom more.

This is true and important. When I was in school I was taught how to find credible sources and this is important to know as a future teacher.

I agree. I think if it is more available and easier to use then more people will approve.

I think it is important to teach students these skills through technology because it is all over the world and they will have to use it.

I think it is crazy that technology is included in this, but it is very true. It is important to be able to work technology and incorporate it in the classroom because it is so prominent in today's society.

I feel like technology in general has positive and negative aspects just like anything else. I believe that it is important for children to have a balance with technology. I think I grew up at a nice time because I know how to use technology, but it was not as dominant. I played outside and created special bonds with people, but also got a Game Boy and electronics for birthdays and special occasions. I think society today is a lot more dependent on technology I know from high school until now I have became a lot more attached. I think moderation is the biggest thing we should focus on when it comes to technology.

I believe it is ok for a child to engage in educational games/T.V, and I also think it is ok to watch Disney/not as educational shows, but I believe it all needs to be balanced. In my human growth class we discuss at one of the most beneficial things to cognitive development is physical play.

I think is is important. I think if children are involved with their children and ask about the games/show interest in their activities I feel like it could benefit a relationship. I do believe that if a child hands a kid a tablet and does not communicate with them all night that their can be serious detachment between parent and child. I hate going to restaurants and seeing a whole family on their phones.

I totally agree with Anna! We used Kahoot all the time in high school as a review and it did help me learn material.

I do believe in using videos and technology as a learning technique/way to connect ideas/to use examples. I am more old school so I think balance is important I do not think a child just should just learn from technology.

I think educational games are fine but I think we should monitor it. In elementary school we played math games on the computers when we got done with our work. Also, in my math ed class we are talking about math in the form of technology and games can get the child more excited about the topic.

I think technology can be used for good, but has to be thought through for different ages etc. I feel like in those first years of growing it is very important to use more social interactions.

I think this is important because we see so much more of this as technology increases in society. I agree with Kennedy with the idea that technology is so dominant in schools now this is something teachers need to look out for.

I agree with all this because there are times when my phone dies and I have quick moment of panic. I then have to remind myself that there was once a tie without technology. I think the kids growing up now will have an even worse does of this because they were introduced to technology so much earlier.

This confirms my idea from the pervious comment. I feel like social anxiety cannot be solved through social media/screentime.

Agree with Kennedy. I feel like using social media in this way could heal emotion in the moment but cause problems in the future. Social interactions in-person are very important especially at those early stages of growth/development.

I do believe communication is very important. I talk to my family, boyfriend and friends who all live away from me. Texting is important for me because I am usually on the go and it is the fastest way to get up with someone. I also rely on my phone when I forget something and I need to test a roommate. There are beneficial aspects to technology.

I agree with Reilly because I have seen this many times. I also stated earlier that I have fears for my niece. Those fears come from seeing friends compare themselves to other people. I feel like social media sets expectations high and makes people question their personal lives/worth.

I think this is an important point and I feel like it is our job as future educators and parents to monitor what is being watched by children. I do believe in allowing a young adult more privacy but a child needs support in making certain decisions like watching a scary movie before bed.

Also a big point. I believe social media sets expectations high and make people think they are not good enough. For example, my sister compared herself to all the "organic moms" out there. I think it is just important to limit this social media time. Also my niece is about to be 9 and has an Instagram with all her dance friends and as they get older i feel like it could cause issues.

Personally this was one of my fears. I find myself on my phone in bed at night and then not being able to go to sleep. My sister allows my niece and nephew to watch something before bed to get them to fall asleep, but sometimes it does the opposite. This is something I am interested in reading!

very true! I used Word Press to create an art blog and it was great to display it!

I think it is very important to have your own space to locate your ideas/thoughts later!
