The Internet is a great thing but must always be used with caution. This caution will only increase with time. It is important to understand how to find reliable information and sites when using the internet. I have always made sure to retrieve information from sites that I know to be reputable. I do look at YouTube for a lot of information so I am cautious in what I find there. If we don’t teach our students these skills they are at risk for learning inaccurate information.
I see many advantages to using a social bookmarking tool. This is great tool to keep information that you may lose later. For example, with my first online class I would do some of my work directly on the website. I went back to look for an article and realized that after the class is over we no longer have access to that information. A bookmarking tool would also be great for access. Being able to have information save in a place where all you needed was internet access would be very convenient. I could use this for classroom information that students could use. This would also be a great tool for sharing tool and techniques for teachers. I chose to use the mind42.com for this project because it allowed me to link in videos (for free). I like the videos along with our Digital Natives!
