Beyond Digital Workshop Reflection
As I sit here thinking about what this video about Kids Growing Up Online I think about my own children and my students. I feel that there is a lot of truth behind the fact that parents need to have the power and be the gatekeeper behind any computer their children are exposed to. In education, teachers need to be the gatekeepers. We need to protect children from propaganda they may be exposed to while at school and making sure they are exposed to appropriate content and sites. As it is important to be the gatekeeper, there has to be a BALANCE! A balance and not being overly obsessive/possessive towards your children being online. Being online for this generation is mainly used to keep in touch with friends and to express themselves in a way others may not see them. It's a comfortable space for them. It is soooo important to build trust and friendship with your children. Without that they can hide anything from you and others. Learning to listen to your child and taking the time to understand their world is critical to teaching your child about life as well as learning from them. They are going to be the leaders and must be given the opportunities to build and develop their 21st century technology skills as well as keep up with the social skills of person to person interactions.

The 11th Hour
This film was amazing when I watched it during the summer. This trailer is a great summary of our future...technology...and education of Earth's citizens.
Their Finest Hour
This film is about the future for the generations we are teaching now. The knowledge about technology is important because it is changing everything, not only education. Children will become the leaders of our future and will need technology and the knowledge about safety from natural disasters, green buildings, and being eco-friendly because the human race is up against its own extinction. The hope is us...their teachers...who will teach students HOW to reduce the human footprint on Earth through the use of all forms of technology. Creativity, knowledge of real-life science and global problems, and technology are the HOPE for the future.
