Homework, Part 1:

 1) If you believe that all students should be Web literate, what is the best strategy for your school to prepare you with this skill? Explain.
- Since all schools should be Web literate, the best strategy for my school would be to attend this college research class and ask for assistance to the teacher. This will help you become more aware and experienced with the Web for future purposes. We will definitely be needing as much Web skills as possible because in college, we will be doing many computer tasks that will require past knowledge.


2) What skills should all teachers have to be Web literate? Explain.
- There are quite a few skills that teachers must have to become Web literate. First, they must get a good understanding on how to research information through search engines. Second, they must recognize all types of citation for a students paper. Lastly, they should know academic sources from different websites that students can use for further information.


3) What role should school filtering play in your school district? Explain why schools should block or not block Web sites.
- School filtering plays major role for guaranteeing protection and viruses that can effect the students learning. Social media websites are blocked for purpose. That purpose is to avoid any un academic websites that will prevent the student from focusing on what the task the teacher assigned. Since it also protect viruses, it will prevent the government from having to by more laptops. On the other hand some may feel that there are too many blocks on the DOE laptops. Websites like Youtube are blocked but can be used as a useful website for students.


4) Do you believe the Internet is as big a transformer of culture as the printing press? Explain.
- I do not believe that the internet is as big of a culture transformer than the printing press. The internet was a great turning point to history, but it was not the primary cause of the turning point. Gutenburg's invention of the printing press was first seen to be the start of technology that then after became more advanced. Without the printing press, no one would have been able to start a positive affect on society until many years later. Therefore, Gutenberg's invention was the only official transformation in culture because that's where it all began.


5) If yes, what parts of our culture do you believe will be most affected? Explain.
- Read above.
