Today's class period was very interesting. We had class in the computer lab today since we were going to be interacting with websites. Today's activity consisted of learning how to stay safe online which is extremely important when working with technology in the elementary classroom! Dr. E provided us with a link to a Doug funny website for children on safety. We took the time to explore the website and the information it had to offer. It was full of safety information for children when it comes to staying safe online. This website is extremely insightful and a great website to have children explore before allowing them to take part in online simulations. After going through this website, Dr. E provided us with another link in D2L which took us to a website on all sorts of safety from stranger safety and home alone safety, to water safety and health safety. I found this website very interesting as well. Overall, both websites were great tools to use in our future classroom when educating our children on different aspects of safety. I really appreciate the websites that Dr. E provides us with. All of them are great resources to use in our future education classrooms.
