The doing part of internet safety:
For this part of the unit i went and talked with my brother and his wife who have two pre-teens and a six year old. all of their children are very computer savvy. My brother knows how to work a computer better then most and his wife is the exact opposite. i just talked to them about the importance of internet safety and what precautions they can do to keep their children out of harms way. for the most part they already knew a lot about what i was saying. they kept their computer in an open spot in the house they had net nanny to kept adult site from popping up on the tv and they also regulated the amount of free time each child got on the computer. there was one area that i feel i was able to help them in that was dealing with social networking. there oldest son who is 13 wants to get facebook. they were really hesitant about letting him do that. i talk with them about the article Dr. Graham wrote and about presiding. i also talked with them about slowly easing their child into it and closely monitoring the activity until the child and parent felt comfortable about the situation. over all i thought that this was a positive experience for all involved.

WHAT I LEARNED
I REALLY LEARNED THAT YOU CAN DO SO MUCH. TECHNOLOGY REALLY CAN BE USED IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS BUT CAN HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON THE STUDENTS LEARNING. JUST RECORDING THE STUDENTS LISTENING TO THEMSELVES READ TO HELP WITH THEIR EXPRESSION. SO HELPFUL AND CAN
Readings
M RUSSEL BALARD
1. Our biggest challenge related to the media? We need to choose wisely with what we are listening and watching. There are so many options out their it can be overwhelming
2. Guide lines from church leaders: 1. We need to hold family councils and decide what our media standards are going to be.2. We need to spend enough quality time with our children that we are consistently the main influence in their lives, not the media or any peer group.3. We need to make good media choices ourselves and set good examples for our children.4. We need to limit the amount of time our children watch TV or play video games or use the Internet each day. Virtual reality must not become their reality. 5. We need to use Internet filters and TV programming locks to prevent our children from “chancing upon” things they should not see. 6. We need to have TVs and computers in a much-used common room in the home, not in a bedroom or a private place. 7. We need to take time to watch appropriate media with our children and discuss with them how to make choices that will uplift and build rather than degrade and destroy.
3. We as teachers need to really watch what we say. Words can be really powerful in influencing children. If a child says that they watched some movie that we thought was violent we can say that we didn’t like it and give the reasons why. Also make sure that every thing that you show in your classroom is fitting with in the Lords standards.

1. Which of these guidelines do I follow: The computers are kept in high traffic areas. There are filtering programs on my computer. Avoiding public chat rooms. I just like to use the phone and email.
2. How might I share these guidelines: There is a lot of teaching in these guidelines I have not done any of those. I can share these guidelines by teaching family members these guidelines
TECHNOLOGY AND A HOUSE OF LEARNING
1. What experiences have I had at home with protecting and providing?: My parents were so good at making sure that we did not just hangout on the computer or Nintendo to pass the time. We had a half an hour unless it was for school work. My parents were also really great at explaining the why’s behind the rules so that we could understand.
2. What ideas do I have to implement in my own home: I thought that is was such a good idea to not cut kids off completely with facebook and such but give them boundaries. I also feel that it is really important to be in the know. Know what my kids are doing and research what they are doing.
An Ensign to the Nations. A Light to the World By Gordon B. Hinckly
You face tremendous temptation. It comes at you in the halls of popular entertainment, on the Internet, in the movies, on television, in cheap literature, and in other ways—subtle, titillating, and difficult to resist. Peer pressure may be almost overpowering. But, my dear young friends, you must not give in. You must be strong. You must take the long look ahead rather than succumbing to the present seductive temptation.”

My techno lesson
For my lesson i used a projector and a video camera. my class was putting on a play for the other first grade classes i video taped their performance then put that video onto a dvd and show it to my students. before i showed them the movie i read the book how to put on a play. in this book they talked about all the different parts of a play and the hard work that goes into putting on a play. i related what they students did to the technical words that come with being in a play such as rehearsal ect... then we watched them movie. when we were finished watching i had them write in their journal about their play experience.

Techno in the class-o
In my car pool this morning i asked everyone what they were going to be doing for their technology lesson we for the most part were stumped. there is not a whole lot of technology available at our school. if i were do do something with technology i would i would probably use the projector to watch something instructional or that helps us learn a lesson that i am trying to teach. I am helping teach a unit on shapes i would show a bunch of different clips of different shapes in the community. this would show the students that shapes are everywhere and that they aren't not just something you can draw, they are apart of every day life.

Well i thought that it was really interesting to do the technology innovatory. Being in this class (ipt287) i thought that schools must have changed a ton. that they were really far a long and advance and that all my beliefs about technology in the schools were all wrong. but it turns out that they were not that far off to begin with.
when i went to school we had one computer that that had some games but we mostly went their for keyboarding and a few other things. the internet was just starting then and for the most part went to slow so that was only used every once and awhile. in my school (no they are not as getto as my school but they are not so fancy as i had thought they would be) they have two computer labs one just for keyboarding and one for the internet, word, ect... there are no computers in the class besides the one for the teacher. their is a projector for each grade level which i was surprised about but other then that things were as i had suspected.
