Description:
Having young adults, I compete with Facebook, Tweets, Instagram, Google+, Linked In, Cell phones, iPods, and Im’g. By the time students reach my class I look for ways to reinforce to them why it is called the World Wide Web and that the use of the technology is a public forum. My classroom and district have set policies regarding the use of the internet. In my LMS livebinders, parents and students entering my course will sign-off on acceptable use policies, equipment expectations and online Netiquette rules. I have been instrumental in the policies for Bring Your Own Device BYOD, which has been adopted by many school districts.

Impact:
As the students progress throughout my course they will be cognizant of the behaviors and expectations employers have when sending emails, the use of their cell phones and courteous behavior towards others with the uste of technology and Web 2.0 tools.

Intent:
I will send forward polite and socially responsible citizens to the work force as it technology integrates into our lives.
