WEB AWARENESS


Informing students about web awareness is very important. Above is a comprehensive web map on web awareness and the 4 basic issues concerning the students surfing the Internet. These 4 issues are safety, marketing, copyright, and authenticity. There are many different ways that I could integrate this web map into the classroom. One example would be to discuss what cyber bullying is and the different types of cyber-bullying. It is also important for students to discuss the consequences of bullying and the life-long effects that it can have on individuals. Another assignment would be to have the students explore kid-friendly search engines. The students could also learn how to fine tune their searches. This would help the students to develop their Internet searching skills and get more effective results.
