If I have a parent that is worried about their child's safety in regard to technology in the classroom I would see if I could have a meeting with the parents to show them exactly what we would be doing in the classroom with each form of technology I would use.

I think that it is important to send home a letter at the beginning of the year to let parents know what technology you will be using in class and what it will be for. I think it is very important to reassure parents that the school has a secure domain and that you will only be getting on secure educational websites so that the students' information will not be leaked to the public. I also think that it is important to have blockers set up on whatever devices the students are using so that they can't get on any unsecure websites or look at anything that they shouldn't be. This is also something to let the parents know that I think would help reassure the parents.

If a parent is nervous about their kids using technology I would inform them about how beneficial it can be. The internet is a very prominent source when it comes to checking grades, writing papers, and fun intellectual interactive games. It is evident that the internet is not always the best place for young students, because there are rude people that may cyberbully. With this being said, it is evident that you need to keep a close eye on what your kids are doing. There are multiple tools that parents can use to protect their kids. Since technology is advancing so much throughout generations I think it is important that parents have a talk with their kids about responsible online behavior and there screen time hours. You can have your child show you how much they are benefiting in school with the use of technology and bookmark certain sites your child is available to. There are multiple online protection tools that can help ensure your Childs safety.

I will let each parent of my students know that their child is safe using technology in the classroom by allowing them full access to the websites and articles that I would be using in my lessons. Parents would be able to search through these things at their own will if they are growing concerned with what their child is participating in the classroom using technology.

If you have a parent that thinks technology threatens their child's safety, how will you let that parent know that their students will be safe?

This is a great question! At the public school I went to we were a one to one school, meaning every student had a device signed out to them to take home. At first this was very worrisome to parents and teacher, because who knows what the students would be doing on the devices and how would they learn with all the distractions. But before anyone got a device you had to sign a piece of paper that the class to monitor what you were doing. while in class teachers had a way they could pull up all our computers screen up on there computer and see what we were doing and the school also had a way to see the website you were going to and it would flag any bad sites searched. with all that being said you can assure a parent that there kids is being watched over and will be completely safe with there internet use.

If a parent is having a problem with any of the resources provided in class, I would just be empathetic and not escalate the situation. I would simply ask the parent what their problem with the content is and what would be their proposed solution for their child. Also, I feel it is best to have prepared information resources about the technology that will be used within the classroom. It is also important to vet the technology that will be used and get it approved via the proper channels for the safety of students and educators. Technology is becoming supermassive and parents can be frightened of its size and rate of expansion. It is helpful if educators are ready and available to ease their fears.

If I have a parent that thinks that technology threatens their child’s safety, I will let that parent know that their child will be safe in school by explaining to them that students are monitored in school while they are accessing technology. A lot of schools have blocks on different websites that are bad, and some schools have professionals that are hired to monitor students all day long. There are also different tools that teachers can use to monitor the usage in their classroom, such as GoGuardian. By using GoGuardian, teachers can monitor what is on their students’ screen while they are in their classroom. Teachers should ensure that at least some safety measures are taken at their school, and they should inform parents that there are safety measures in place for the students. The teachers and the schools should ensure students do not get bullied or access bad information and materials from different websites. If the school that I teach at does not have very many tools in place already to monitor students, I will make sure to get something like GoGuardian so that I can ensure concerned parents that I am doing everything that I possibly can to keep their children safe while they use technology. I also firmly believe that teachers should walk around in the classroom and monitor their students while they use technology. Informing parents about the benefits of technology and keeping parents in the loop of their child’s education and technology usage can also reduce parents’ fear of danger while their children access technology.
