Internet Articles

What article did you choose to read for your fourth article?
- Fighting Internet Filth by Mario Hipol
What were the most important things you learned from the readings?
- That playing on the internet to simply waste time is a bad use of the internet! Not only that, but it increases the probablility of running into inappropriate material. Also, that we need to educate our children about giving out personal information online.
How will what you have read influence your actions as a parent and/or teacher of children and youth?
- As a parent, I would invite my children to sit with me while I'm on the internet, that way I'm providing a good example for internet use. As a teacher, I need to be up to date on internet games and tools, otherwise student's will disregard anything I say about the internet because "She just doesn't understand."
How can you use what you have learned from the reading to have a positive influence on family and friends?
-Invite my husband to share what he's reading with me, that way I show interest and don't isolate his internet use.
