Today’s
proliferation of web content makes it necessary to evaluate everything
that I see and read. Determining whether the content is accurate,
reliable, and relevant is part of that evaluation process. Having
connections to other accurate, reliable, and relevant websites makes the
original websites authentic and legitimate. Students need to do this
evaluation because making sure that there is truth in the sites they
visit, use as resources, and that influence their decisions is important
to making even better decisions.
My
first plan is to help students understand how personal information is
used on the web. I am going to schedule a skype meeting with a human
resources manager to talk to kids about how their personal information
on social media can be used both to support their future career plans or
to thwart their ability to get a job. The individual is a former
student of our school and has worked for Kraft as a human resources
manager for several years.
My second plan is to have the Michigan Cyber Safety Initiative
program have a presentation at my school. The most important part of
that presentation would be about sharing inappropriate material on their
cell phones or other electronic devices. Helping students see that
adults in their lives are concerned for their safety and want to help
them create a mindset of making the best decisions possible to be
prepared for life after high school will help students be more
successful.
