Whiteboard Blog: Safer Internet Day
I thought that this might be appropriate for my first review. Children need to be taught about proper internet safety before they log onto a computer. Children are taught at an early age not to speak with strangers, look both ways before crossing a street, etc and internet safety should also be included. This blog entry includes different resources for teachers as they teach this important concept. I really appreciate that resources for older students are also included. High school students who begin to make purchases online also need to be aware of phishing sites that could steal their identity. There is also a link to posters that teachers an print and post in the classroom with different tips and helpful advice. I may very well do this myself!

ReplyDeleteOne of the key things we should be teaching our students is internet safety. We can not hope to decrease the amount of blocking done by schools and still keep our students safe, not only in school but also at home, without safety training.
