Week 2 Reflection

 The technology i learned in week two significantly enhances both teaching and learning. Besides enhancing digital literacy, creating a YouTube channel is helping me stay up with today’s current technology. It seems like every child knows how to navigate YouTube, and what better way to get student’s attention than to use this social media platform to create content that shares knowledge and presents complex ideas. This helps educators keep students interested and engaged. This platform also impacts learning in a positive way. Students can go back and replay certain sections of the video that were not clear or review as many times as a student needs. This can also help students post their feedback in the comment section to give teachers confirmation if the video was helpful and clear.  

Digital etiquette and cyberbullying also impact teaching and learning. In week two, this topic was the most interesting thus far. It is crucial for students to have digital etiquette and practice it at every online interaction. In today’s world, there is so much cyberbullying happening, and students need to be cautious and avoid it at all costs. Cyberbullying has become such a huge issue in the last few years, that it is affecting students' mental health. Educators must enforce digital etiquette to promote a supportive learning community where students feel safe to express ideas and engage with other classmates.
