Chapter 7 Reflections

3 Reflections:
There are new things are being introduced to the internet every day. While using the internet as a teacher it is important that the internet be monitored. Whether I am on it in the classroom or if my students are on it. I need to watch for sites that pop up that have inappropriate material in them. Schools good with blocking the sties that might be inappropriate, but this is the world wide web, anything is able to come up. With internet hackers and online predators, anything is bound to get through. Along with predators come viruses. A virus can attack a computer through anything, epically email. As a teacher I need to watch that my students do not use internet chat rooms, or e mail while at school.

2 Connections I can make:
Students can use the internet in my classroom while doing a research project on the topic we may be learning about. The internet will help with this research, because it will make looking for information easy, and more information than a single book. While doing research on the internet I will teach them the sites to go to and the sites to stay away from. In order to search for materials accurately I will teach them how to use advanced search engines.

1 Question I have:
It says on page 227 that in order for a teacher to teach on line courses, I have to have a degree in technology. Is this true? Did I read it wrong? Could I use the teaching degree that I have to teach on line classes?
