I recently read a fellow math educator's blog (Darren Kuropatwa) and this is one of his posts. I feel that in addition to these rules, time in the classroom must be set aside to help teach students how to be responsible while exploring the Web. Last year we had Kevin Honeycutt (@KevinHoneycutt) speak to our teachers during our beginning of the year PD sessions. To be honest, I didn't expect to be entertained while also learning about our student's "digital legacy," as Kevin called it.
As we all know and have seen in the news, it doesn't take much these days to ruin a career, a marriage, a life when it comes to using technology inappropriately. We have to teach our students how to be more responsible with technology. Most students don't know that if they send an inappropriate picture through email or text that they can be put on the sex offender list. Knowing the consequence for using technology is very important for students to know.
