Internet Safety

The internet can be used as a very useful resource to students. However, if students are not careful, the internet can be dangerous. This issue is looked at in the 2nd Internet Safety video where the 10 year old girl assumes that she is talking to another girl her age. In reality, she is talking to an internet predator who is able to get her home address. Parents these days have to be very careful in monitoring what their children are doings. In the video, the girl explains that she does not see her parents all that much, especially her mom. I think that parents not spending as much time with their kids is a major part of the problem. Also, it is important for parents to educate themselves on technology so they can be fully aware of the dangers that are out there for their children.
