Artifact: Cyber Safety Presentation
Reflection:
In ITEC 7410, this cyber safety presentation was created for a faculty presentation on safe Internet practices that all teachers need to be aware of and utilizing. Through its explanations of the dangers the Internet holds and how to make sure students stay safe and do not plagiarize, this artifact clearly demonstrates the safe, healthy, legal and ethical use element.
Throughout the creation of this artifact, I learned about how to protect and guide students in the safe practice with the Internet and Internet searches. This is important for any educator to know about since the Internet is an important aspect of education and students' lives inside and outside of school. To change this artifact, I would add more information about cyber bullying and how to prevent it. Only including one slide is not enough since it is such a problem for students in school. I would also want to extend the artifact to include a student portion on cyber safety. Educating teachers is important but students also need to be educated. This artifact greatly impacts school improvement, faculty development, and student learning by helping to create a safe and healthy environment for anyone who walks into the school. The impact can be assessed by quizzing both the teachers and students on the perils of the Internet and how to prevent making poor choices. In addition, data can be analyzed for percentages of plagiarism and inappropriate website visiting for before the presentation compared to after the presentation.
