Blog #8 (Floating around waiting for the right current)

How do you define one’s Digital Footprint in your own words? 

From my own point of view, digital footprints are when you use the Internet, you leave a mark that people can track or find out what kind of person you are in terms of the work you do. A person needs to understand that whatever they do on the net will stay forever. You must be careful in what you do because it will reflect on you. This is very important because it can ruin your name or make you popular. Either way, the digital footprint can be good or bad depending on what is posted or what you do on the internet.


Is this an important topic to teach your students? Why or why not? 
I think this is an important topic to be discussed because students nowadays are posting things that are either good or bad, and they don't think about the consequences of their actions. For example, students from PICS High School used to video-fighting between students and post it on the net, thinking that they were doing it for fun, but they did not understand that it was ruining the school's name and reputation. Even though they have already taken it down from the net, it is too late; millions of people have already shared it around. We need to teach the students the advantages and disadvantages of their actions and let them know that digital Footprints have good and bad sides to them.


How do you plan to address this?
I plan to talk to my students about this and tell them the advantages and disadvantages of Digital Footprints. I will talk to them about what is going on, like what Dr. L-jay did. I will try to search for ways to help them understand that if you are using it for good reason then it is good but if you use it for a bad reason then it will not be good for you in the future. I will also remind them that they do not have to really give all their information because someone can get it and create false identities about them. They have to be careful when giving personal information.

My Floating Journey

       About the author My name is Adarino Hadley, and I am a Pohnpeian by birth. I was born on a little Island of Pohnpei called Dolehtik and was raised in Diadi, a little village in Kitti known for “Siokara,” a family of clams marinated and preserved in bottles for eating. I have four brothers and four sisters, and I was the second eldest among my siblings. I am married and blessed with three children one girl and two boys. My wife's name is Mihna Celestine Hadley; my daughter is Vyra Hadley; my two sons are Adarino Junior Hadley and Jordan AV Hadley.  I attended Elementary School at Wenik/Rohnkitti Elementary School, now called Nanbei Memorial Elementary School, and graduated in May 1994. I decided to go to Xavier High School, but my family didn't allow me to, so I attended Pohnpei Island Central High School (PICS). I graduated and received my diploma in May of 1998. Again, I wanted to go to Hilo and attend College there, but no one could help me with my appl...

Here are the two videos https://youtu.be/MBYlRmUurJ8 I learned how to make students come to school by following the CRSSP (Choice, Relevance, Strength, Specific, and Passion). If you follow the CRSSP, it will make students motivated and willing to learn. Watching the movie gives me an idea of how to make my students come to school every day and be willing to learn. If a teacher follows the CRSSP with the passion to make students succeed, then it will make learning fun and enjoyable   https://youtu.be/UCFg9bcW7Bk For this movie, it is almost the same as the first, but they have different ideas. This has to do with the 6 C's (Choice, Collaboration, Communication, Critical thinking, Creativity, and Caring). If you follow the 6 C's, it will make your classroom a wonderful and successful classroom, and students will be willing and motivated to learn. By watching this video, I think that I can apply some of his methods of teaching in my class. And his ideas are really great for a cla...

Blog #6 (Floating around near the Land)

   What are some things you can do in your classroom to foster creativity and innovation?      Some of the things that I can do in my classroom are doing Social Emotional Learning (SEL), integrating technology, and using technological tools like Google Forms. For the SEL, I know that it really helps my students to be creative in answering questions, and it makes them really focus on the lesson we are doing. For integrating technology, I can see that students are more into technology and love to use technology in doing their work. They become creative and innovative when a task is given to them to complete or find using technology. For Google Forms, I know if they learn to use it, they will create work that will be better than what I created.   What Facebook group OR YouTube channel did you join?      I haven't joined any Facebook or YouTube channels, but I love watching channels that have to do with teaching, so I can apply their method and...
