Homework #1 Part 1

1) If you believe that all students should be Web literate, what is the best strategy for your school to prepare you with this skill? Explain.
I think that students should be web literate because that's what we use today, technology. Not knowing how to use the web is basically shutting that person out from the world. I feel in order to be able to know what is going on in this world you need to be web literate. The best strategy for my school to prepare us with this skill is by letting us use computers more and learning more about how to work the internet better then we already do. 
2) What skills should all teachers have to be Web literate? Explain.
The skills that all teachers should have it how to fulling work the web . Also they should know 100% how to work the smart-boards. I think all teachers should learn how to know whatever there is to know about searching the web. The way they can do this is by going to to training classes if they don't know how to use the web.
3) What role should school filtering play in your school district? Explain why schools should block or not block Web sites.
Schools should monitor the websites that the students go on because while being in school they shouldn't want their students going on inappropriate websites. The things that the students do reflects on the school and blocking the social media websites and other sites keeps the students focused.However there are some websites that are blocked and it doesn't make any sense on why certain websites would be blocked.
4) Do you believe the Internet is as big a transformer of culture as the printing press? Explain.
Yes i do because the internet changed how people live. It has advanced how people research things and contact one another. The printing press transformed culture by making it possible to print daily news and spread it around the world. Just like the printing press changed culture so did the internet  by having everything needed at the click of a button.
5) If yes, what parts of our culture do you believe will be most affected? Explain.
The parts of our culture that i believe will change is how things are researched. Also it changed how kids do their homework. They now are able to look up how other people wrote about that topic and many students plagiarize now because of it.
