Hello ! Welcome back to my blog
Internet Searching
I believe it is important for students to know about internet searching because they spend most of their time using computers for class researching. Google was founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin by ranking sites by keywords and sites popularity and how often its being cross-listed with other sites. Google is great for education because it includes tools for the classroom. Some of the tools consist of search education, geo education such as google map and earth, groups communicating with other students and colleagues, drive such as word, spreadsheets and power points, even using blogger to create blog to share work. Google is a great school resource because we can use it to learn and search new information and I use everyday for my school assignments and for general web searches.
Plagiarism and Cheating
Theses two concepts are two of the biggest problems that students in todays society have a problem understanding. Plagiarism is the direct copying and misrepresentation of someones else work as one's own. Students don't understand that this comes with consequences and in order to avoid plagiarism you need to add quotation marks and in text citation proving where you got your information from.Cheating is when the use of technology to access information without permission during a test or sending information about the test to another student. Plagiarism and cheating can both result in get suspend or expelled from any school you attend as long as you understand the consequences there is no reason to be either one of these.
Cyberbullying
I chose cyberbullying as my last topic because it is a bug issue in schools and at home. Cyberbullying is a "willful and repeated harm through the use of computer, cellphones, and other electronic equipment". Teenagers and young youth instead of using their computers and cellphones for the proper use for school or having nice conversations they use them to bully each other and hurt each others feelings. Cyberbullying can leave a long lasting affects on the victims causing them to attempt in failing or succeeding in suicide,leading to depression, anxiety, low self esteem, and poor school performance. This following video I believe is perfect example of what cyberbullying can lead to. Please be aware of the language and the content.
NO ONE DESERVES TO BE BULLIED
To conclude I believe that google is a great search engine for students to use and to learn off of because it contains many great resources. Please as future and current teacher we need to be more aware of the plagiarism and cheating going o in our classroom and make the student aware if they don't recognize that they are doing it. Lastly cyberbullying is never okay no matter who the person is and what that person looks like there is no excuse for it so please find a way to stop it.
