The Importance of Internet Safety:
This article was key in talking about
internet safety when it comes to teachers and the responsibility that
we have in keeping them safe online. There is some train of thought
that speaks of keeping students safe online from door to door, from
the time they leave their home to the time they come back home.
However, this can raise some concerns with PDAs and cell phones which
all access the internet. So while a student is on the bus, who should
be held responsible for what that student is doing online. I think
that as educators we must teach them how to stay safe. However, here
is something that needs to be said for parents stepping up to the
plate and being held accountable for their kids safety. Both parties
need to be held responsible for the safety of our kids online.

I agree...parents and teachers need to work together to educate kids about internet safety. They have access everywhere now, so they can't get enough guidance on this topic. They need advice coming from all avenues.
ReplyDeleteI also agree. We all need to work together. In this society things are changing so fast and we have no blueprint for how to regulate behavior or responsibility. I think more and more districts will make detailed regulations. At the same time, parents need to be active and aware of what their kids are doing!
