Internet Safety
It was a sobering class this week. It is really scary to see what can happen to kids who don't take internet safety seriously. It is amazing how easy it is to locate someone based on seemingly small bits of personal information. The videos we watched in class and the articles I have read this week really show the need to educate students of the dangers that are out there and how to stay safe. It is not realistic, in our world today, to keep kids away from the internet to keep them safe. It is so important for them to be exposed to all the information out there to prepare them for life after school. Therefore, we have to take the initiative, as educators, to do what we can to talk to them about the problems and how to avoid the dangers while still using all the valuable information out there!

It is important to help kids through all of this - and I think we do it one class at a time - good reflection.
I agree it is very scary to the dangers that kids can be faced with when taking internet safety seriously. Many kids are very naive to the dangers. I agree it is not realistic to think that we can protect our kids by just blocking them from the internet.
