Internet Safety for Students

With great power comes great responsibility. As we integrate technology into education, it's crucial to teach students about online safety. This includes guiding them on how to responsibly use the internet, protecting their personal information, and being mindful of cyberbullying.

Important Tips:

Privacy Settings: Teach students to adjust privacy settings on their devices and accounts.

Cyberbullying Awareness: Foster open communication so students feel safe reporting any negative online experiences.

Strong Passwords: Encourage the use of strong, unique passwords to protect personal information.

Leveraging Technology in the Classroom

As educators, we are in a unique position to harness the power of technology to enhance student learning. Integrating tools like interactive whiteboards, educational apps, and collaborative platforms can engage students in meaningful ways. For example, using Google Classroom helps streamline assignments and feedback, allowing students to stay organized and teachers to monitor progress efficiently.

Key Takeaways:

Interactivity: Tools like Kahoot and Quizlet make learning fun and engaging.

Collaboration: Google Docs and Padlet foster teamwork among students.

Feedback: Automated quizzes and instant feedback help in real-time assessment.

My name is Karen Tyson, and I was born and raised in the beautiful Caribbean, specifically Jamaica, West Indies. I enjoy singing, acting, and cooking in my spare time. Recently, I was fortunate to land my first movie role, and the film is currently showing in theaters. Aside from acting, I am also a model and an active community advocate, with multiple awards for my work in New York and New Jersey.

I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in special education, focusing on grades 7-12, and continuing my professional development in this field. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Touro College, and I also have experience in nursing.

For the past four years, I have worked as a paraprofessional in the Board of Education, where I primarily supported students with disabilities. I’m now transitioning to District 75 to further my education and expand my impact in special education. My passion for working with students, particularly those in special education, stems from my love for children and my desire to ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive academically. I am deeply committed to helping students achieve their full potential and believe that no child should be left behind.
