C4T Summary #3

Dianne is a teacher who dedicates her blog to technology and using it in the classroom. The first blog post of hers that I read was about the changes that are happening regarding what students need to learn. Students today are needing to learn things that were not even thought of fifty years ago. I completely agreed with her. These are different times, so students are responsible for different things. I commented that times are definitely changing. Students need to be able to use the tools available to them, and they need to be able to use them responsibly.

The second blog post that I read had a link for a list of media etiquette guidelines. I think that this is so important because social media and things of that nature are a huge part of our student's lives. I commented that media etiquette is so important in today's society. Social media can be a great tool if it used responsibly. So many people do not use it responsibly, and that is when it can be a problem. As teachers, we want to make responsible global citizens out of our students, so we need to make sure they know media etiquette.

Dianne's Digital Discoveries is an amazing blog! It's full of all kinds of information about technology in the classroom.
