1 // Having an iPad and a Smartphone on you are two incredible tools. But, with Great Power there must also come Great Responsibility (sorry couldn’t resist). Finding information is great, but that is someone else’s thoughts, work, product. We need to be able to give credit when referencing that work. We also must be able to know how to find these things, and when we do, are they reliable/correct? Make sure this is not an opinion site and is trustworthy. I like the idea in step #2 where you can search on a particular site for something if you know you want to use that site (maybe the actual site does not have a search bar).
In Step #3 I instantly thought of when I am teaching a concept and we are about to start a practice problem, I ask students what are things we should ask ourselves. It is no different when you are looking for information online. “What’s the point of view?” or “What would an opposing point of view look like?” are huge questions that need to be asked.
Step #5 is increasingly important as more and more things are done online. In Financial Algebra we look up a lot of financial concepts and knowing that you should not provide any personal information when we are not applying for anything is a huge red flag on a web site. We need to keep our personal information PERSONAL and private.
2 // DL-4. Having students create their own products, but allowing them to choose what tool they want to create it with and what resource they want to use to explore is a huge step towards them being self sufficient online. This is a Digital Citizenship skill and is one that could be brought up (shared on the screen) as the teacher is explaining the task.
