The Cyber World Things to Think about…

Why is this important? We have several mobile lab units in our district where the classroom teacher is in charge of what the students are doing. Most of us, have our own children or grandchildren who use the internet under our watch. Sometimes, bullying begins at school and carries over to their cell phones, chats, or s at home. The handbook next year will include a section on internet safety.

A digital native is a person who was born after the general implementation of digital technology and has had digital technologies over their entire lives. A digital immigrant is an individual who was born before the existence of digital technology and adopted it to some extent later.

Pushing Send…

If you would be embarrassed by “anyone” finding out what you have sent, you should not be sending it!

Message from SD ICAC None of us would leave a child unsupervised in the middle of a large city and yet, frankly, the Internet is just like that city. Not all its streets are risky – the Internet is a great place for kids to learn and entertain themselves – yet we must all recognize that this particular “city” has a dark and dangerous side. Did you know that 1 in 4 kids today have received unwanted exposures to sexual materials while online? Did you know that 1 in 5 kids have received unwanted sexual solicitations, almost entirely from strangers, while online? Probably not, since less than 10 percent of such incidents are ever reported to parents or authorities.

Giving out too much info…

Too Much Information!!! “We are raising digital natives.” Tell students that they should only fill out information that is absolutely necessary to get the account. FOR EXAMPLE: Facebook users do not have to show real pictures of themselves for the profile pictures on their accounts. addresses can have similar characteristics but not real ones. Neither internet account requires you to fill out anything except a user name and password.

Trusting too much… One piece of information given out when creating accounts or “tech talking”, could take you to the dark and dangerous side of the cyber “city”. Julie: Chatting:
