I have created a short Animoto clip that I could show to a class to emphasize how important internet safety is.
My clip acknowledges that the internet is becoming a tool that most people use and it expresses that we should all take precautions to ensure our safety.

When I am completing a task, or studying, I do not act on impulse. I set a goal at the start of my work and ensure that I meet it. For example, when I have been completing TDTs, I give myself a set time (eg 3 days) to complete them. I have realised that I work more effectively when I set a task to complete and a time period in which it must be completed. |
| Set Personal Goals | I (will) use this skill in order to monitor my progress (and assure I am on track) when there is something I have to achieve (e.g. Assignments, reading) | An example of when I set a personal goal was when I was completing a TDT. The task was to read a chapter of a book. I noted that the chapter had 20 different sections to it, I then set a goal that I would read and evaluate 4 sections every night, over the course of 5 days. This worked well for me as it allowed me to fully concentrate on a section at a time, without rushing through it. |
| Team Work | I will use this skill throughout my career as a teacher. It is vital for teachers to work well with each other (e.g. to share ideas and strategies) | I know that I have well developed team working skills as I often work in teams effectively. When in school and college I always enjoyed working in teams and was able to negotiate and reach compromises with the other students. |
| Take Responsibility | As a teacher I must be able to take responsibility for my actions, therefore must always be aware and sure of what I am doing. | When in my placement, if I asked a pupil to do something and the teacher later asked them to do it differently, I would let the teacher know that I had asked them to do it. I know that I must take responsibility for my actions, even though they might not always be correct. |
| Recognition | Reflection | Action |
| Skills not yet developed | How I will develop these | How do I know (evidence)** |
| Problem Solve | I will develop these by undertaking many problem solving questions and by challenging myself in real situations. | I will know that my ability to problem solve is improving when I can tackle these questions in a calm manner and can logically work my way through it. |
| Work Under Pressure | I will develop this by reminding myself to remain calm and complete the task at hand. | I will know that my ability to work under pressure is improving when I am able to stay calm and not show any sign of distress when there is a deadline to be met. |
