1) If you believe that all students should be Web literate, what is the best strategy for your school to prepare you with this skill? Explain.
    All students should be web literate, and the best strategy for our high school to be prepared for this is by taking the college research skills class, as many students in other schools don't have the opportunity to do so. This is a great chance to enhance knowledge and use it on further in life, possibly within our career.
  
2) What skills should all teachers have to be Web literate? Explain.
     The teachers should be web literate in credibility, and navigation as many teacher navigate every day in order to create an interesting lesson for there students. Also many teachers don't give the author of certain work/notes given to students credit, and that is highly important due to a copy right clause and they want there students to be able to reflect on there work. Also being web literate provides the teacher with much resources around the internet and other web sources, and this enhances more work being used rather than being limited of resources to use in class.

3) What role should school filtering play in your school district? Explain why schools should block or not block Web sites.
  There are sites which the school should filter but other sites are necessary to learn, and others can just harm there school work of being more interested with a certain web page if it was not to be filtered. In various occasions we need Youtube to enhance our learning, but since it is blocked we are restricted from using it such as watching videos of history such as liberty kids being a vague example of a learning video that can be watched school hours. Then it should be blocked because kids when given laptops to complete work can watch other videos which prohibits them from learning, an example is family guy as many students watch it and it is very funny but takes away learning time.


4) Do you believe the Internet is as big a transformer of culture as the printing press? Explain.
 Yes it is indeed as many people before believed that no one will actually use the internet, but at the moment that is incorrect as it is an important part of most of the populations life such as the completion of homework, reading emails, watching videos, getting more information and etc.The printing press caused an impact as it caused news to be spreader out, but the internet does way more as it gives many people a answer when searching something or the ability to find a long lost friend through Facebook.


5) If yes, what parts of our culture do you believe will be most affected? Explain.
   The parts of culture to be affected is acknowledging the fact that we as humans are to push ourselves to find the answers on our own through reading text with information, rather than searching it as the information can be false or true but it requires less of our knowledge and effort to be put into use.Also culture would be affected as we rely more on the internet, rather than actually reading such as news being virtually exposed and newspapers are not used by as many people who use CNN as a news report.
