Week+6+-+Feb+22

 Lesson enactment(Resources): **
 *  This week we had various lesson presentations. Various teacher resources shared by teacher candidates made this lesson even more valuable. Softwares like Celestia etc were new to me but I have used Prezi in my assignments before. I feel I became aware of lot more softwares after joining the B.Ed. program. This includes google apps, Prezi, Cmaptools and many more. The links to various presentations for this class have been added below. Even though the lessons in this class were presented in a different way but I gained a lot through the resources (websites, links) shared with class. It's not easy to teach someone from different subject area, but the resources are very useful and handy for teachers across all grades and subjects.

I have summarized the points from this article: Reading this article and the presentation early on in the month have been great in making me aware of what is happening in the cyber world of kids. I feel, it is really important for any adult responsible for kids (parents, guardians, teachers, school staff etc) to be aware of the youth terminology in technology and watch out in the best interest of the children.
 * Reading for the week (Cyber bullying): **
 * 1) Use of technology in the form of emails, IM's etc is very common amongst youngsters.
 * 2) The technologies are very powerful when used wisely but the ugly face of misuse has been apparent in terms of cyber bullying.
 * 3) Cyber bullies are not restricted to kids who are physically strong to abuse; rather the shy, introvert students have also acted as cyber bullies.
 * 4) Emails, camera phones, SMS, virtual worlds: All lead to cyber bullying.
 * 5) Young kids feel empowered in the virtual world instead of in the real world. On the other hand, victim becomes helpless because in case of anonymous cyber bullying, its difficult to pin point someone. This can lead to trust issues in the victims.
 * 6) Parents should lay out strict rules/contract for their kids in terms of online interactions. Educating their kids on how to's of dealing with cyber bullying can be very helpful.
