Internet Safety Video

That video was fabulous! I am so glad I saw it because now I can use it for my Internet safety unit. If my students were to follow all those rules then they would never have a problem on the Internet. It really let the students know exactly what information to not give out. I think some kids give out their e-mail to many different sites all the time. That video really helped it become more clear for students. I really liked how it talked about if a student ever felt uncomfortable on the Internet to go get an adult. That is something that I think is extremely important. When students start messing with bad people on the Internet its usually because they respond to the uncomfortable comments by these awful people instead of calling for help to someone. However, feeling uncomfortable has a lot to do with rule #4 (If someone is cyber bullying you, don't respond). If our students came to adults instantly after feeling uncomfortable or hurt, we would be in a safer world. Furthermore, I loved rule #3 on not giving out your password. Most people usually don't do this, but however some still do. This causes so many messes. I know so many girls that would find out passwords and be another person on Facebook and say mean things.
I like #5 about writing posts on the Internet, because someone will always see it, even if you erase it. It will always be there. Students need to think twice before ever posting anything. Students need to be very aware of these things, but I think most of all is that they need to follow rule #6. That is to never meet with anyone that you meet online. There are so many rapes, deaths, or kidnappings happening every year because students do this. They truly need to be educated on this subject and I am going to make sure it happens!
