https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370 What safety concerns should teachers have when incorporating technology in an elementary school classroom? What plans should they make for these concerns? en-us 2020-03-29 16:53:57 UTC 2025-09-26 06:12:20 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f469-1f3eb.png tydo1011 https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/480925014 One of the biggest concerns with elementary school students using technology is that the students would get distracted by playing games on any computers they are told to work on. A couple of ways a teacher can help prevent this is by making sure to closely monitor students on computers and even blocking certain websites on the computer that students usually get on that have games.]]> 2020-03-29 20:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/480925014 cweb9603 https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/480944667 I agree with Ty. I also believe another big safety concern for technology in Elementary is actually the safety of the technology itself. Most technology is expensive and most schools struggle to afford the technology in the first place, so replacing it is not an option. Teaching the students how to be safe and responsible with the expensive technology is important for preserving the technology.]]> 2020-03-29 20:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/480944667 anclay02 https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/481206390 Elementary students are easily distracted so I think it's just important that teachers monitor what their students are doing. ]]> 2020-03-30 03:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/481206390 rachelanneharrington0225 https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/483004059 As a teacher, I would be concerned with the effectiveness from learning on technology, are students actually learning or are they just playing or guessing? My plans for this would be to monitor their progress, if they aren't making progress I would take a break from playing on the technology and review through the lesson. One way to monitor their progress is by using a website or program that sends the teacher results of students work, a website that does this is WordWall.]]> 2020-03-30 19:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/483004059 pfeiferhannah0 https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/483448759  A concern I would have using technology in an elementary classroom is the students getting easily distracted, or looking up things they shouldn't. You could practice safe ways to use technology and what is okay and not okay to be doing while online. ]]> 2020-03-31 02:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/483448759 landryrlichty3 https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/485629711 Hello, Meredith!! I think that my biggest concern for using technology in an Elementary classroom is that the students would get frustrated, which would make them not want to work and turn the learning environment into a negative one. However, I do believe that if you monitor it, that it will be an effective and fun way for students to learn in class! ]]> 2020-04-01 01:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/485629711 sbclouddd https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/487563809 A safety concern that I would have in an elementary classroom using technology would the students using it inappropriately, to plan for these concerns I would use things such as lockdown broswer and child locks on certain websites.]]> 2020-04-01 19:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/487563809 abigailniemann https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/487915959 A safety concern that I would have would be that my students will not stay focused on what they are supposed to be doing, so I would say walk around the room and make sure they are on what they are supposed to be on. ]]> 2020-04-02 01:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/487915959 molitor2000 https://padlet.com/meredithboogaart/75df8jea2370/wish/490185790 I would be most concerned with the content that students may run into online.
