Module 2 Reflection
This module really made me think about and analyze how I look at web sites on a daily basis.   I will
admit that I am guilty of assuming that students have some research skills and already know how to
weed out the good web sites from the bad.  After reading through the material, I have realized that
students would benefit from some real guidance when it comes to researching on the internet.  I never
really considered analyzing web sites a skill before.
As a teacher, I am embarrassed to admit that I know very little about copyright law.  It is something I
want to look into further so that I can teach students the do’s and don’ts, especially when it comes to
music.  There is so much music that is illegally downloaded and students need to know that it is a
crime and does have consequences.  It only makes sense that this information would be taught in a
music appreciation class. In the text, I was once again jealous that I did not have the preparation and
mentor experience that many of the new teachers in the examples had.  These programs seem like
they will take a lot of dedication.  I am not convinced that schools nationwide have the sort of
dedication that it would take to transform them into the programs that the text depicts.  It almost
seems too good to be true. Modeling and enforcing cyber ethics in my classroom would be simple and
probably only take a few extra minutes when I am doing lesson plans.  Citing sources on class
materials would show students how to properly cite materials in actual situations.  It would show
students that everyone borrows ideas once in a while and that it is okay if you do it the right
way.  Enforcing cyber ethics would be as simple as adding required citations to assignments, perhaps
even a works consulted list.  Having zero tolerance for plagiarism would show students that you mean
business when it comes to citing materials.
My experience with filtering software in schools was fairly limited.  From what I saw, I think that it gives
teachers a false sense of security.  Students were always finding ways around blocks to game sites
and social networking sites.  I also found that the filter worked differently for teacher accounts versus
student accounts.  Teachers could access some sites that students could not, which made it difficult
when teachers wanted students to use a site for research and it was unavailable.  I feel that web site
evaluation techniques are extremely important for students.  It is definitely a skill they will use for the
rest of their lives.  Looking at the web site address and if there is an author listed is the first thing
someone should do when visiting a site.  If a site passes the first test, checking to see if there is a date
of when the site was last updated is important.  The third thing a person should do is check for
objectivity and evaluate the quality of the writing on the site, as well as the quality of the links
provided.    
Online Assessment
The web sites depicting learning strengths could easily be given to students on the first day of
classes.    A teacher can use this information when developing lesson plans to help meet student’s
needs.  The instructional methods site allows a teacher to evaluate different teaching methods at a
glance, enabling them to add strength and variety to their lesson plans.  The fourth link listed on the
module just took me to a search site with a bunch of links to other things.
