Reflection
You must post on your blog with a reflection that responds to ALL of the following questions:
What did you find most difficult about this assignment and how did you overcome the challenge?
How can you apply the knowledge learned in this assignment in the future to your specialty/profession?
Briefly discuss the implications of this statement, "Students will become victims of the expansive dark side of the Internet unless we teach the critical thinking necessary to make meaning out of the overwhelming and potentially manipulative amount of information that is now available and growing every day" (November, 2010, p.27).
The hardest thing about this assignment for me was trying to figure out how i would help the students with ADHD complete this activity while making it just as enjoyable for them. I just remebered certain characteristics that kids with ADHD have and just conformed the lesson to help them out. For example they get distracted easily so during this activity and other time while learning i wouldnt put them near hallways or windows thus serving as an extra distraction for them.
I will be making lesson plans and activity plans for my students all the time, so this assignment was good for practice and a good example of what i will be doing in my profession as an early childhood education teacher.
That quote just pinpoints how dangerous the internbet can be if we dont guide them safely and teach them how to correctly and effectively use the internet. The internet can be used to find extract alot of information and can be used as an interactive tool also for kids but it much be properly used by them and we the teachers in the classrooms are there to show them how.
