Protecting Reputations Online: A Lesson to Share and Then Create
Lee Kolbert is a 4th grade teacher. She also believes in the idea of engagement in learning. Her post was about the importance of being mature and responsible on the internet. I strongly agree with her because I think anyone's reputation can be permanently ruined from one controversial post. For example, when John Lennon said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus their reputation was ruined and they were boycotted. Eventually, of course, Lennon apologized and everyone loved the Beatles again. Who could hate the Beatles forever, anyway?
Everyone else may not be so lucky as to get a chance to apologize. Offensive comments on the internet can ruin your future. So be smart and avoid offending people.
An Exercise in Perception-
Lee Kolbert posted this picture and asked what my first impression is of what's most likely going on.
A) Learning
B) Cheating
C) Wasting Time
I responded A) Learning because, even though I can't see what the boy is writing or drawing, their expressions show that the two students are engaged. If they were cheating their expressions would be a little more mischievous. The kids in the background also look like they are engaged in an activity. I would presume that the two students are collaborating and learning.
