This past week we learned about internet safety. We watched some videos that were about the different aspects of internet safety. We also had a class discussion about what we read and watched.
Internet safety is a big issue this day. You never know who you are speaking to and what information people are able to obtain about you to find you. The internet has provided us with great technology but there are a lot of people out there who use the internet for inappropriate reasons. It is important for us to teach our students about internet safety and the risks that are associated with being online.
Internet Safety is actually part of the Health core curriculum. I plan on educating my students about the risks of being online. I will also inform them about what is appropriate to share online and what is not. It is also important for them to know what is internet etiquette. They need to know that cyber bullying is not acceptable. I will allow my students to ask questions anonymously if they are concerned with cyber bullying. I want my students to know that I care and hopefully they will be comfortable enough to speak to me in person if they feel threatened online.
