Creating our survey as a group was a pretty simple process. Deciding that the survey would check students, grade 4-8th, on their knowledge of Internet safety was another easy decision. Lucky for me our group member Laurance works as a tech teacher at his school and was able to easily administer the survey to a large group of students. The results are to be looked at yet, but knowing grade level vs grade level results will be interesting and actually meaningful to the teaching of Laurance. His students know what he has taught them. The questions were not created off of his curriculum, but rather what we felt were safety concepts all kids should know.
I also had a tough time thinking of jobs that will be created in the future. I like the idea our group has come up with of an Ozone creation/design specialist. The concept will probably come about in the future, but who really knows when. I get the idea of thinking that we are teaching for jobs that do not exist yet, but what does matter is that many of the skills we teach now will always need to be taught to our students. Team work, social skills, and collaboration will all be needed regardless of the time or job to be accomplished.
