My name is Kerri Kochheiser. I am an education major at Grand View University. My hopes are to one day become an elementary teacher, preferrably upper elementary. I coach nine and ten year old girls softball. I am extremely passionate and strive to do my best in everything. I am caring and compassionate about all things. I enjoy watching netflix and reading outside in the warm sunshine.
This website was created to reach out to parents and teachers to inform them about the troubles with safety and privacy of their children online. My hopes are that teachers and parents will become more educated on the growing problem with the internet. |
Resource Process
I started all my searches by just using key words to find sites and article on the general topic of online safety and privacy. I would them click on pretty much random sites and articles and read what they were about. If the site passed the credibility checklist then I would decide whether or not the information was valuable to my research. I would also go to websites or articles and then use the sources that they cited to try to get to the most primary source I could find. For a couple of my sources I wrote out what I wanted to say on a page of my website and then went and found information that supported it or in some cases opposed my original statement. This was the process I used throughout my research for finding sources.
What Did I learn?
The biggest thing that I learned from this process is that making and designing a webpage is harder than it looks. But beyond that I learned how to manipulate aspects of the webpage to look how I wanted it to look. I found that I could change all kinds of pieces of the design to fit my needs. I had a struggle with this website. I found it very challenging to put my thoughts and knowledge into clusters of information on each page. I kept thinking to myself that writing a research paper would have been so much simpler. But that was not the point of the class or assignment. I was frustrated and challenged but now that I am finished with the website I like the outcome and was glad that I did this project because I have learned how to make a website and use technology.
