As the Internet plays an increasingly important role in our everyday lives, it has become clear that we must make certain that our children learn to use this resource wisely and safely.
With that in mind, we will start our Internet Safety unit in a few days. The unit will have seven lessons: (1) Good Websites, Bad Websites (2) Social Network Sites; (3) Your Words & Pictures in Cyberspace; (4) Online Shopping; (5) Pfishing Scams; (6) Cyberbullying; and (7) A Unit Review
One social network site recently found that approximately 29,000 criminals used its site to target victims.
I would encourage you to establish some Internet usage rules that would be appropriate in your household and, if you have not already done so, download blocking programs that will protect your child from inappropriate sites.
Let's keep our kids safe!!
