ITEC 7430- Internet Safety

For me, when it comes to use the internet to teach, internet safety is a big concern.
Many schools and most inappropriate sites blocked however thing still slip by. Teachers have to teach their students proper and safe internet etiquette. You would think that that would be good enough however while using the internet especially in school, teachers need to continuously monitor their students will they are using the internet. Like the example in the book about typing “legs” instead of “legos” even accidentally students can pull up things they should not be looking at. So constant monitoring is important. I think that it is all important that parents are made aware of just how hazardous internet usage can be. Take for example Facebook and Myspace, if settings are not set in the privacy section correctly then everyone can view all of the users information.
