Do you believe that we are what we post?
It appears that prospective employees do. It is reported that they are using Google to discover information about interviewees that job interviews cannot provide. That is transparency for you! Consider our students! As educators, we have a responsibility to block certain websites; however, we also have a responsibility to appraise our students of the possible negative implications of some of the online services that attract them and the veracity, or lack of, of what is posted on these services.

ReplyDeleteAnita I believe that many are succeeding in the academic field but are lacking in acceptable social skills. As educator we need to teach in a holistic manner for the "whole child's" all round development. In the same manner we must expose our students with the technology but teach them to adhere to strict rules of computer etiquette and what are their responsibilities to remain same while surfing the internet.
ReplyDeleteWith respect to 'acceptable social skills', we could start with computer etiquette, and in addition, as educators model the desirable social skills. I fear that we are not aware of the extent to which our students model our behaviour.
