Internet Safety

As internet becomes more accessible in schools and homes internet safety becomes a huge issue. The internet is a great resource for students, teachers, and parents when used appropriately and safely. In schools, teachers need to take the necessary precautions to ensure that students are being responsible and are only accessing the proper information from the internet. Rules and guidelines need to be established by the school, teachers and students. I believe that the students should be involved in this process these so that all of the teachers and students are fully aware of these rules and the consequences they will face if these rules are not followed.
Instead of letting the students search the internet for the correct answers or the appropriate research, teachers should provide the students with websites that will be helpful for them to complete the assignment. Students should always be supervised when using the internet. If they are always being supervised it will make it difficult for the students to use inappropriate websites in school and at home.
Sadly, we live in a society where internet safety will always be a concern. We must always be aware of these concerns and address them, as they become an issue.
