Web Awareness: A Word Web
Below, you'll find my word web exploring the issues that arise with internet use in the classroom, along with teacher strategies for addressing these issues. There are four key issues identified below (inappropriate sites, commercials and advertising, copyright/plagiarism issues, and inaccurate information) that need to be addressed in any classroom with internet access and usage. Obviously, there are several different ideas that can be used to prevent any of these issues from taking root in a classroom, but there are two key principles to follow as a foundational pro-active strategy to promote positive web awareness: 1) Make students aware, and 2) Model proper behaviour. Ultimately, teachers need to educate their students about the issues and behave in the way they want their students to behave.

The organization of your concept map is amazing. The connectedness of all the concepts show how in this issue you have to think about everything as interconnected and understand all of the issues to comprehend how they work together. It is due to the interconnectedness that all these issues must be addressed as a single component of web awareness. Good job on the concept map.
