Internet Safety

Integrating technology into the classroom is a great way to enhance learning for students but requires the teacher to inform students of internet safety and being responsible. Students have to be aware of sharing too much personal information on the internet that may lead to an invasion of privacy, therefore affecting the student’s safety. Also, students have to be aware of when searching for a certain topic that their word choice is specific and relating to their topic they want to gain information on. A teacher can help with student safety on the web and student responsibility by providing reliable search engines for the students to use and having restrictive access on any websites he/she feels is inappropriate for their students to see. In order for the use of internet to be safe in the classroom it requires both the interaction of the teacher and student to be always looking out for protecting one’s identity and using the internet for a information resource.
