Risk and threats of digital technology
-
To ALS teacher according to the speaker technology must be taken look in black and white perspective in order to reduce the behaviours that tend to involve children. We have to think on how are we going to guide those children or teenagers when using technology. Technology can be risky when used to harm others. Some may think that in this present times posting in social media is just normal. But what they don’t know is that posting on social media is coupled with responsibility. That’s where we as implementers can help. We can guide them in the right path while using technology. We must instill in their minds that technology is helpful not distructive. When left unguided sometimes technology can also be harmful to them. 3 C’s according to Bectas means Conduct, Contact, Content… content these are materials such as pictures, videos,audio or text wherein it’s existing in the internet and when children were exposed to this they might be put at risk or harm. According the speaker when we talk about contacts it means interactions who are the people online, that children interact with and what kind of interaction might be harmful or risky to the children. Conducts means behaviour of children themselves that may put the children at risk or at harm. Technology can bring a lot of opportunities among our ALS learners.
I would agree to what the speaker is saying…were here to help and guide our learner’s for good. We must always remember that teachers are life changers among our learner’s were here to touch and change lives and not to destroy lives. Sometimes it maybe hard on the part of our ALS teachers but at the end of the day the fulfillment that we have when we see our learner’s grow and become responsible is already an achievement.
