Although the internet is an amazing resource for education, it also poses many risks to students. Due to the accessibility and incredible size if the internet, it is a prime place for dangers and predators of all kinds. One of the most prevalent threats to students online today is cyber bullying.
Thus, it is crucial to teach students skills and precautions in surfing the web. Students must learn to discern fact from opinion and the ploys of online marketers. Teachers must emphasize the value of one’s privacy and how to protect that online. Students must be made aware of how to deal with and steer clear of inappropriate content and predators. Teacher’s have to think through these issues and implement ways of teaching students about how to be safe and productive online.
