Tonight's Reflection 10/14/15
I was shocked when I saw that you had to actually have a log in for Wikipedia in order to edit posts. My whole life I was under the impression that anyone could write absolutely anything. I feel as if teachers in high school brainwashed us into thinking that people posts crazy things that have nothing to do with the topic we are researching. I feel they blew it completely out of proportion just so we would not use the website. In reality posts on Wikipedia must be approved in order for viewers to see it. Teachers should educate students better on why the website should not be used and how you know if a website is reliable or not if they plan on students using the internet for school related activities.
Something that stood out to me was how people in North Korea and Iran use fake i.p addresses so they can get on websites like YouTube. To me, that seems insane. Although, it makes me think how you can tie internet safety into teaching your students about their freedom in the United States. With freedom comes responsible, and students need to realize that at a young age so they do not do anything that jeopardizes their futures.
