Internet Workshop

• What did you find most difficult about this assignment and how did you overcome the challenge?

 Overall, I found the entire project to be difficult. I had to brainstorm a lot to figure out a topic to make a lesson plan on. I found that to be time consuming. In the end, I still am not satisfied with my topic. I wish I could have found a better topic. I overcame this challenge by just sticking with my topic and doing the best I could to complete the assignment.

• How can you apply the knowledge learned in this assignment in the future to your specialty/profession?

This assignment benefited me in my future profession as a teacher because it gives me practice in making lesson plans. I feel the more I do it, the better I will get at it. It taught me that there are many steps and details that need to be done for making a lesson plan.

• 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).

I think this statement is saying we need to teach students internet safety so they do not accidently fall into the traps of the online predators. It is important to teach internet safety because that way they know how to avoid the people who are trying to steal their information.
