Ways Schools are Teaching Internet Safety

Internet safety for students is so important now with all thats going on with cyber bullying. When using the internet students need to know how to navigate around and ensure they are not getting into trouble while using the internet.

One teacher talks about how when he has the students go on the internet for his class it is required by them to first watch several videos on how to be safe while on the internet. In doing this the students can be sure to avoid situations like cyber bullying and use the internet how it is suppose to be used. This teacher states that he is teaching internet safety within the curriculum that way the children are constantly learning about how to be safe on the internet.

Another teacher uses analogy's relating to the internet that way students are more likely to remember what she is saying. For instance on of her analogy's relating to the internet was about Little Red Riding Hood. Using this she says that just like Little Red Riding Hood the internet is not always what it seems to be and children need to be careful while they are on it. Children need to understand that bad things can happen on the internet and they need to be prepared if something does go wrong while they are using the internet.

It is so important the students start to learn about internet safety especially when they are using it at such young ages!
