They keep hearing about internet safety everywhere. And they think that we adults just don\u2019t understand. So how do we best approach the issue? I think to start with, we need to demonstrate responsible technology use ourselves. If we tell them that they shouldn\u2019t send a message while speaking face-to-face with someone, we should model the same behavior. If we ask them to keep their phone on silent, we must make sure that we do that too. Another way that we can make sure that technology doesn\u2019t take over the lives of our students is to help them discover and enjoy experiences in the physical world. Sometimes we are so focused on integrating technology in the classroom, that we don\u2019t focus enough on engaging in other important types of educational experiences and instructional strategies.<\/p>\n<p>As you consider the responsible use of technology, think about your current practices, and how you might better influence students\u2019 understanding and behavior.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What are some things that you have done to teach responsible use of technology?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  With so many interesting gadgets, and unrestricted access, it\u2019s easy for teens and students to get a little \u201coverenthusiastic.\u201d It\u2019s even possible that technology can drive people away from real friendships, real hangouts, healthy relationships, meaningful activities and even learning.<br \/>\nJust talking to youth about this is never enough.
