Our discussion on web safety in class tonight was a little daunting. Thinking about all of the things that can go wrong or cause offense can be very overwhelming. However, I really think a dose of common sense can help if we find ourselves in questionable situations as teachers.
If you are wondering if something is ethical, safe, appropriate, etc., then it's a good idea to ask someone. Getting a second opinoin or checking with your district's guidelines is a smart idea.

I understand the position Bee takes. I strongly believe if in doubt about policies or procedures, seek it out. One should go about the proper channels or protocol and ask questions.
ReplyDeleteAhhh common sense an amazing thing to have...Wish more people had more of it...Agree!
ReplyDeleteB, I think you are completely right. Common sense can make a huge impact on the decisions teachers should be making. Also, I like how you mentioned asking other collegues for help or a second opinion, we are all in it together and sometimes another person's perspective can be an eye opener.
ReplyDeleteBee,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. The list of potential violations of web safety was overwhelming and a bit scary too.
With time, you'll get comfortable and you might even forget some of these violations, and just when you let your guard down is when you should be most wary!
