Internet Safety is an issue we need to be really cautious of as educators. There are a lot of assignments that we give, especially in the social sciences, that require research and internet searching.
One thing that we can do to help is guide their research. By giving our students resources they can use, we can help them find valuable websites and steer them away from those that may be more questionable.
If research is being done at school, there are several safety precautions that can be taken. Blocks can be put on sites that are of questionable material. Also, very strict classroom procedures should be taken when dealing with the internet. Make sure the kids know what they are allowed to do and what is absolutely not okay.
