Technology does play a large role in young adults. I have seen this first hand and have witnessed it. I remember being in middle school and wanting to be on the internet all the time talking to my friends. Now, I see my brother who is a sophomore in high school and how he is also texting his friends. Also, being a substitute teacher 2 years ago, I witnessed the importance of technology to the students. They couldn’t wait to use their cell phones and get onto Facebook. I think as teacher’s, it’s going to be critical that we teach them how to be responsible when using technology and what they should do in certain circumstances. I think every teacher at every grade level needs to address this with their students. We all know that as teens, we don’t want to listen to our parents, and we’ll do the opposite of what they say. Because of this, teacher’s need to take the responsibility to inform their students about being responsible and safety on the internet. I know student’s who are very close to a teacher, and that teacher may be the only one who that student listens to. I also think that as a teacher, I need to be aware of my student’s attitudes and watch for changes in them that may be from bullying. Teacher’s sometimes see their students more in a day their parents do. We may notice changes that their parents won’t and be able to help them if they get into trouble with cyber bullying.
