This week was the last week of class. There was an hour presentation on cyber bullying. I thought this was very informative because I personally was never involved or knew of anyone who cyber bullied. I feel that this is a more common topic now then it was then. I had heard a story once about how these students invited this other student over, then beat her up. There was a story my dad made me read in the newspaper about a girl who sent her boyfriend a picture of her nude. The picture was sent around to a large amount of people at her school, and she ended up committing suicide. I don't think teens realize the decisions they make. I think it is horrible how some people treat others, almost like they are numb of feelings. There are so many selfish people in the world, who don't stop and think of other people's feelings.
So I hope as a future educator I will be able to catch cyber bullying as soon as possible so there are less stories like these. I am more informed on how to handle a situation when a student is caught cyber bullying. I think that it woud informative to even talk a few minutes to inform my future students on the severity of cyber bullying.
This week I also completed the lesson plan we had been working on. There is a page on my google site that contains games involving mathematics to help students practice in a fun way. I also posted the lesson plan. This lesson plan teaches students about fractions, decimals, and percents.
The ISTE standards that are met:
Digital age work and learning: This standard is met because we learned how to type out a lesson plan, and worked on finding sites that contained other lesson plans and games off the interent that involved our content.
Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership: As future teachers we engage in professional growth by creating a lesson plan involving our content area.
