- For my #5 article, I decided to read "It's Only Violence" by Brad J. Bushman.
- I learned about scientific evidence that proves some myths about violent media wrong, and the seriousness of violent media. There is a significantly greater amount of violence in media than there is in real life, it causes an increase in aggressive behavior, and it affects everyone.
- Learning about his information has helped me come to realize that I need to continue to be educated on the subject, monitor what my children/students are viewing, and be a good example.
- I think deciding now to have a strong stand in what I choose to view, specifically to violent content, could have an effect on family members and friends around me. It could make them stop and think about what they are viewing and possibly help them make better decisions in the future.
WATCHING
- I looked at the Internet Safety Podcast, PBS, iKeepSafe, and Netsmartz
- I think going through these things has really made me aware of just how careful one needs to be with technology. Knowing these things wants me to inform students of the dangers that the internet can bring about, as well as technology being a possible hindrance to other skills that students need to develop. I need to be always making sure that whatever technology I use is going to ultimately help the students, and to always stress internet safety. This way students will have a positive experience.
- PBS Frontline
- Internet Safety Podcast
- iKeepSafe
- Netsmartz
DOING
- I talked to my 15 year old sister about this topic.
- We talked about Elder Bednar's talk, "Things as They Really Are". Overall, I'd have to say that it went well, and I learned more about my sister's views on the subject. Come to find out, she is actually really smart about internet safety. She was pretty cooperative, but wasn't too excited to hear me talk about things that she already knew. I feel like I learned more when I actually shared it with someone and get feedback, rather than just read the material.
