Watching Internet Safety

I watched the iSAFE videos, specifically number 8, 2 and 4. There are so many important things to look out for and protect against the bad and negative influences of the internet. I've learned that the best way to help these kids and prevent all this trouble and all of these problems is through education about these issues, especially where the parents and adults are concerned. So many of these kids are young and do not understand the consequences and impacts that they can have on others or themselves. Educating not only the students but their parents as well is crucial in helping others to be aware of these issues and how to look out for their children. I could easily use these videos within my classroom or at home. They are helpful and informative, but they also give you as an instructor or parent time to pause the movie and consider and discuss these issues through questions they pose. It is so important that these things be brought up within the classroom and understood by all students. Promoting and prompting these discussions within the classroom is a great way to get the word out and let people know that this is real and happening everyday.
