Gold 3 Internet Reflection Journal

Reflect upon our classroom experiences the last few weeks on the Internet (i.e. Internet Basics, Emerging Internet Technologies: Wikis, Blogs, RSS, Podcasts, Internet Safety Lesson, your public service announcement on Internet Safety, and the online/technology study project).

Use these experiences to support or refute one of the following statements:

 

• “These new emerging Internet technologies allow us (students/teachers) to do things before that were never possible.

• “Books and Textbooks should never be replaced by Internet based resources”

• “The Internet is a dangerous place for teens!”
