Internet Safety Assignment

I read all the articles and I can see the great importance in Internet safety, a unit in my health class is about informing my students about the media. I look forward to showing them proper search engines and how to find correct information.
I thought the counsel from M. Russell Ballard was striking and important when he said that the media has the influence to tear families apart.
I really appreciated what Elder Bednar said about technology being a good thing, but it should also be controlled. The spirit can only stay with us when we are in tune of its actions, I liked the idea that Satan is more easily invited in when technology is so easily available.
The guidelines about pornography were things that I had never thought about before. Even though I do not have a family yet I know that I can follow those guidelines. They were good procedures that I can implement and also teach my future students.
I have become more aware of my communication style from the article that I read. I was surprised at the things i notice I say quite a lot and the wrong impact it may have on my students.
As a Young women's Leader I thought that it would be helpful to find an article that helped my students out. I found an article entitled "Hows your media diet-harmful or helpful?" It was very interesting, it had checklists and quotes from President Hinkley. I also liked the questions that it gave for people to ask themselves, I can even use them in my classroom for instance: Are you informed on what you are searching?
I know that I can influence my family and friends by being a example of the guidelines in all of the articles. By doing this it means I can share my knowledge with others of what I have learned.

Content Specific Technology

I made a safety brochure for my future class. I will give an assignment that they are directed to complete a safety procedure of the safety unit that we covered. This addresses the Utah Core Curriculum standard that says "Develop strategies for ensuring personal safety in a variety of situations." The students will be able to pick a template from Word and develop a safety brochure that we will use to educate others. The unit previous to this safety unit is about media and the influences that it has. After I teach them about where to find the right resources they will be able to go into the computer lab and look for their own information to use on their brochure. This project will help them learn to develop templates in word as well as search for topics on the previous unit of media.

Communication

Content Specific technology

I know that being a health teacher may mean that I am in different classrooms for differnet class periods. I will not be for sure about the technology that will be available in the classroom to me. I decided to go with the brochure making idea set forth and learn how to embelish my brochure making skills in word. I chose to do it from an already made template so my students would be able to better understand something that was already outlined for them. The Core curriculum standard that I am addressing is safety. My students are going to create a brochure that would be able to be reproduced for the community on ways to be safe.

TPK/TPACK

The differences between TPK and TPACK; TPK is simply knowledge of a broad understanding of big concepts and programs. For Instance, being able to use power point, then you are able to make various power points about many different subjects. TPACK is much more broad and focused in on a certain subject field. It is being knowledgeable in the area of your field and being able to use technology to better teach your students.
If I were to use TPK in my profession I would probably demonstrate it by making a power point presentation for my class. I could probably create a note sheet for them to fill out that goes along with my presentation. If I were using TPACK I would have my students go step further and create a short infomercial about the health concept that they valued the most in the previous semester. At the end of the semester I could post all of their videos to my website for their viewing.
