Internet Safety
November 17th, 2006
Information Age kids are digital natives. We, their parents and teachers, are immigrants to the world of technology. Yet as adults we need to provide road-maps for a safe journey in territory that is not our native land.
It’s invaluable for us to have conversations with kids about how to use the Internet intelligently and thoughtfully. Providing clear guidelines about what sites they can visit is one discussion you can have. However, there is so much to be explored and the terrain is constantly changing.
This site by teacher David Warlick has some very helpful guidelines for parents on Internet use. Much of the information can support teachers too. Another important step is to have an Internet use policy at your school.
