Module H- Cyberethics for Kids

Integration corner for Module H and chapter 8, I found a website called Cyberethics for Kids. This is a really good website to teach children the dangers of the internet. Also, to give them tips on what information you should not give out on the internet. Like you should never give out personally information out on the internet because there are crazy people out there that will take advantage and steal your identity or could even want to hurt you. This website also offers information on rules in cyberspace and explains to children that hacking is a serious thing and you could get into a lot of trouble for doing it. It also gives kids different scenarios on what other kids have done and could get in trouble for is they were caught. One example they give is two kids want to purchase a game on the computer, but its to expensive. However one of the kids remembers there it a website he could get this game for free, which is illegal and you can get into a lot of trouble over and this website lets kids know the dangers and consequences of there actions on the computer. But I think children need to know what’s on the computer and the dangers and trouble they can get into.

Module G- Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators

In chapter 7 integration corner I found a website called Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators. It helps teachers find rubrics and assessments to evaluate your students. It makes it easier on the teacher, so they don’t have to make their own they could find one on this website. It gives rubrics of every kind, it varies from student web page rubrics to subject-specific and general rubrics. This website would be so useful and helpful. Say to give out group projects to the students and they are due next week, but you realized you have so many papers to grade and go through your not going to have enough time to make a assessment rubric. That’s where this website will lighten the pressure and take that weight off your shoulder and be very helpful. If you assigned a web page assignment they have a rubric on here that is very informative and would be perfect for it. But the rubrics on this website are legit and would help teachers out a lot so that is one less thing they would have you worry about or do. But this website gives rubrics for any subject and also teaches you how to make your own so that if you need one specific that they don’t offer.

Module F- Web English Teachers: Children Literature

The Integration corner for Chapter 6 that I chose was Web English Teacher: Children’s Literature. This website gives teachers resources for children literature. I think it is very useful for beginning teachers because it gives them somewhere to go to get ideas and help. It also has options of grammar, drama, interdisciplinary. It’s a great website for anyone in the education field looking for resources on how to teach different English topics. The website gives you A to B resources. When you select a topic it gives you a lesson plan. It also includes question and resources for the literature you chose and ideas for an authors study and many other cool things. Other option it covers is speech, vocabulary, reading and literacy. This website is very helpful and sufficient of knowledge. I can help anyone going into the education field as an English teacher get a start and succeed. It is a very easy website to find out information on different material and would be useful for elementary school. As a future educator I would definitely think about integrating this website in to my curriculum because I feel it would help me teach material that I may not be as good at as other teachers would be.

Module E- Technology Tutorial

I went to the integration corner and found a website called internet from classrooms. This website gives you tutorials on all the different technology, like Microsoft Office, Works, and many more. It also teaches you how to work with different programs and how to figure them out. Some of the resources give step-by-step directions on how to work through everything. Also gives teachers different ways to integrate the technology and places you can go on the internet to find new ways of integration. This website is really good for both students and teachers because it gives many resources and programs that will come in handy when you’re teaching your own class. But all together I think this would be a very helpful website because it gives lots of information and step-by –step directions for mostly everything. When clicking whatever you need help with it will give a list of options. For example, you pick classroom task oriented Tutorials, it will come to a screen with a couple more options and if you pick the first one, which is basic word. It will have a list of options that you may have a question about and it gives to detailed information.
