Chapter 11 Reflection

In chapter 11, the books dives into different kinds of issues when dealing with the internet. This chapter gets into issues like copyright, privacy, social issues, and ethical issues. It is very important for students to learn not only what they can do on the internet, but more importantly what they should not do and where the lines of ethics are. With so much technology being thrown at kids today it is important that they also be aware of what is inappropriate use of the internet, especially if it is being used in the classroom. The chapter also covers new emerging technologies like virtual environments and wiki. These new technologies will quickly be entering the classroom and it is important for teachers to get a basic understanding of how to use them. In my own classroom, I think it will be very important to spend time enforcing rules about the internet and make sure students are aware of what is and what is not acceptable.
