I think the most important thing I have done outside of school is trying to teach my children the correct use of the internet. By teaching my son how to research information that he uses in his classroom I hav met ISTE NET Standard 3d.

I don't remember doing anything in my K-12 experience that would meet the ISTE standards. When I graduated we didn't even have computers in our school and noone had heard of texting or blogging.

Day 6 2/4/2010

Today we communicated to a group of fifth graders through skype. This meets ISTE NET standard 4a. By answering the children's questions about social networking we were teaching them safe, legal, and ethical use of digital technology. I think this was a great tool to teach us the use of skype. This also was a great tool to teach children the safe use of networking as well as skype. By teaching children how to use this safely we can cut down on the amount of students who are prayed upon. This is an important life skill that should not only be taught by teachers but anyone who is involved in the child's life.
