Chapter 5 Are We Scaring Our Kids?
No, I definitely do not think that we are scaring our kids, but as a matter of fact, I do think that the word is getting around about stranger/danger. The more parents, teachers, and other school/public official reiterate the importance of not talking of being friendly to people you do not know can help our children stay safe and be aware of their surroundings. Sometimes children get into trouble by speaking to someone they are unfamiliar with and no one told them about the dangers about speaking to strangers but also wanted to help him find his little lost puppy. After a couple of incidents about children getting into cars with strangers to locate his little lost puppy and ended up getting killed. Children are now becoming more aware about strangers and what can happen to them if they get into their cars.

Chapter 4 Education Issues
Reading Comprehension
I think that since children today are so in tuned with technology associated with the media world. Incorporating reading for an example something that many students dislike doing or have a hard time mastering or staying focused on. Incorporating handheld PDAs(personal digital assistant) could really trigger or spark them into reading books more often or on a daily basis because the PDA(personal digital assistants) is not a textbook and it looks cools and they also enjoy using it because it is a part ofthe technology world. There are many different ways of learning school materials in different ways that are not boring to our children and also encourage them enjoy reading to a higher level.

Computer Use in the Classroom
I think the five applications are as listed from the more important to less important. The first on is the Software Suite, FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN(special need software), Clip Art Gallery, Imaging Editing Software, Desktop publishing. I think that children should be introduced to each application according to the subject-related matter that is being taught by the teacher in the classroom. Students should be encourage as young as pre-schooler or the beginning orkindergarten if they did not attend a pre-school settings to become more familiar with the basic keyboard, windows application usages.

Teaching Today /Chapter 2 Communications, Networks, the Internet, and the World Wide Web
I strongly agree that every student should have rules and regulations when it comes to utilizing the internet without parental/ teacher supervision. Students should not be deprived from using the internet for educational purposes because of the negativity on the internet. Children should be taught at a young age the dangers of using the internet the wrong way, and parents should reiterate on a continual basis for tips for reminders. I don’t think that students should avoid that internet completely but I do think that they should avoid surfing the wrong sites. Teachers and parents should take the necessary precautions to make sure that their students/ children are safe on the internet and stay in safe territories and do not surf dangerous terrains.

Chapter 1 - Educational Issues
Possible Child Abuse
I would report the abuse information to someone else in the building, whom is not related to that child or to other members of the child’s family. I would not report the information to my immediate supervisor because she is certainly aware of the relationship of the boy to the school board member. I would probably call the 1-800 number and voice my concerns about the suspected child abuse in reference to the 9-year-old boy Juan Gonzales and ask to remind anonymous for the protection of my identity being revealed. Usually most of the time your gut feelings about something is usually right , on the other hand, you could also probably be wrong about the situation. But there is nothing wrong with making a claim and finding out in the long run there is nothing wrong about your findings. But what happens to a child that you suspected was being abuse and you never reported the information to the proper authorities and something unspeakable happen to that individual, what would you do. Can you live with the fact that you could have saved that child’s life and you chose to do nothing, where was your good judgment ? Everyone in the school system should be an advocate for the children because as adults we are their eyes and ears . Many times they can’t voice their opinions but if they have a trusted person like you and I the world would and could be a better place for your children and mines. So whenever in doubt do the right thing and call the 1-800 abuse number to prevent the continuous cycle of child abuse or a suspected case.
