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? I believe that students should be Web literate and I think the best strategy is to encourage classes in schools about technology and different sources. This will help students to be more prepared and gain knowledge about the web. It's important for students to know what they're doing on the web. Learning about the web can also be a great deal for the future.
2) What skills should all teachers have to be Web literate? They should gain knowledge about the web so they can inform their students. If teachers know what to do, student will incorporate how to be Web literate.
3) What role should school filtering play in your school district? Explain why schools should block or not block Web sites. I don't think schools should block websites such as Facebook or Twitter because I don't see the harm of them. Students can use it on their lunch break and it wouldn't be a problem. There are also some sources that are blocked which don't help the students because what if they need that website for a homework assignment.
4) Do you believe the Internet is as big a transformer of culture as the printing press? Yes, I believe the Internet is a big transformer of culture. The Internet has changed the world and how we interact with people. Now, all we do is go on the Internet and avoid the outside world.
5) If yes, what parts of our culture do you believe will be most affected? Communication has been a big part of this change. Teenagers especially, use the Interact to communicate with people other than interacting face to face. Unlike enjoying the fresh air, we're at home, surrounding ourselves with our phones and computer.
