Internet Safety For Students

I think one of the best things we can be doing to ensure that the internet is safe for our students is to do a little detective work before sending students out to do projects using the internet. We can find sites that are reputable and safe and suggests those sites to students to use on homework and projects. Additionally, this will prevent them from looking elsewhere to find information.

I also think it's important to talk about internet safety. With your school, present guidelines to your students regarding information they send over the internet and avoiding harmful viruses. In the health major, we discuss improving communication. This would be a great place to discuss internet language and what things we share over chat rooms and elsewhere over the internet.
