My newest post is on "Educational Leadership" written by Will Richardson. Students are teaching themselves about the web. Teachers are not helping the students learn about the web because simply they don't know that much about it. What the teachers do know is that anything can be posted on the web whether its good or bad. Most of what we post is in our control. What gets put on the web can be changed or stolen and anyone can see it. So teachers are trying to help students become more responsible. One of the many good things about being on the web is that we get to connect with many people across the world. But also being able to connect with people means that we need to take more responsibility. We shouldn't connect with anyone we don't know, or we can get into HUGE trouble. Another good thing about the web is it can spread the news around quickly, which can be a good thing in some cases. If we are trying to spread the news around on a big event then the web is a great place to get it around. Millions of people use the web each day all over the world.
My opinion on the matter is that we need to use the web responsibly and maturely, no matter what age you are. The web postings should be educational and helpful, not mean or embarrassing. I can relate to the text a lot because my parents are always trying to get me to use the Internet responsibly and carefully. The text was about how the dad wasn't sure if it was good or bad that his children were using the Internet.
