Sexting & Textual Harassment
Working on this project
was literally an eye opener. Not only with the group assignment but the topics
that were shared in class as well. The information shared was great advice and
very important. Now I will keep it in mind since my future profession will be
with young students who may not know the information. Personally this
assignment was very enjoyable. It was full of new experiences and learning in a
fun filled way. Information gathered online has enforced our presentation and
what we now know. We found out that sexting is a crime on Guam and there are consequences
(Public Law, 2011). There is also a bunch of information directed to educators,
students, and parents (Fact Sheet, 2012) to go over so they too are informed
with what goes on with their children. I had a chance to also work with great
people as well. We all did our parts and added our own touches to the
presentation. I really enjoyed trying out the new web maker Moonfruit. It was
easy to use and really user friendly.
The other
examples shared were very informative as well. However the phishing and pharming
presented in class was very understandable. Since I enjoy presentations I was
engaged in the class presentations more. The other examples provided to us are
very informative and interesting as well. Since it was not presented reading
the information was a bit much. Cyberbulling, copyright, and digital safety are
all information that are need to know, but it was a lot information to go
over alone. All the presentations had their own uniqueness. If I was able to
watch all the presentations I think I would have enjoyed it more. Since we had
to review three topics out of five it probably would be best to remove anything
repetitive or only keep what was important to share. Most of the information
was helpful but i would remove the longer clips and keep shorter ones, take
away any information the clips are already sharing and use clips since reading
does become boring.
If I have to introduce
these topics to my students it would all depend on the age of the students.
Which will determine the activities or lesson overall. Some of the games shared
in the presentation may only be used for older students (high school) I would
probably have to change some responses if I worked with the age group in my
major, which is early childhood. For these students I may have to take a calmer
approach and keep it more informative rather than the clips or find something
suitable for their age. I can share how we respect each other in person and how
we should do the same online. We can discuss how we still need to keep our important
information private and not to post it up online. I can play a game asking them
what type of information is important and what we can share. Also I can explain
that being bullied in person is not fun and that it is just has sad as doing it
online. I can take these approaches with my students when talking about some of
these topics.
This assignment
required a lot of thinking and depending on what was decided some time. My
group did have to meet on other days to complete the assignment most especially
since we decided on a clip. We did use other tools to meet like emails, Google
docs, Wiggio, and text messaging however it was not as productive as meeting in
person. Sometimes our systems were slow or the sites were being worked on.
Since we did need to meet in person most of the decision making was done during
those meet ups. As of right now I think the best way we communicated was
through our phones and emails. Since we all have different schedules being on
the computer for hours was really not convenient. Since the assignment was to
inform the audience I do not think any changes are necessary. It requires a lot
of reading and being organized which was what we had to do.
