Our theme for our videos is fit for life. I wasn't in class last week so I haven't been able to make an outline. We will probably make a clip that has to do with showing different activities that parents and kids can do in their families.

Internet Safety

Internet safety is a tool used to filter inappropriate things from getting onto our computers and into our minds. I believe that anything that is set up to block vulgar things is a good thing. I think there are good filters out there that can be used but they should not be the only wall of defense that we have in internet safety. There should be practical uses in the home such as; having the computer in a place where people frequently travel, parents could have time restrictions on when their kids can be on the computer, or having a family discussion about internet safety. Whatever you do, just do not relay on a internet filter to protect your family from bad things on the internet.

Teens are definitely in need of internet safety. As a teacher I could briefly give a lesson about internet safety and make them aware of how to protect themselves. I could give them good programs that are out there that are designed to filter inappropriate websites as well.

I taught my roommate about internet safety. He thought it was a good lesson. I just went over the same things that we went over in class. He liked the idea of not having his birthday on his facebook page.

Class Website Assignment

This is my finished class website. It is pretty raw but I feel like I did a good job and that all of the information is there that was required. i have never done this before and was very impressed with how relatively easy it was and how useful it can be.

Here is a link to my website:

Class Website

This was a very good and useful project! The process of creating a class website was a very positive one for me. I have never done this before and it was a lot easier than I thought it was. Creating a class website is a very useful thing to do. I think it is a great resource for students and parents to use. I will definetly use one when I become a teacher.
