Internet Safety

The internet is great! I do not think you could find somebody to say that it it not a great tool for educational purposes. There are so many beneficial advantages to using the internet. It makes it wonderful for the students to learn using new and exciting technologies to learn. Unfortunately, there is an ugly side to the internet. There are sites out here that are nothing but negative, and there are means to post rumors and inaccuracies about people. This can be very hurtful to students who are trying to find their way through their adolescence. There have been suicides and other awful incidents that have occur ed due to this cyber bullying. It is important to make our students aware of the power of the internet. This is why teachers have to devote a class or two to internet rules and regulations. Involving the students helps include them into the process and they will more than likely follow the rules. Technology is a wonderful thing, but we do always have to be aware of what our students are up to.
