The Videos are Internet Safety were well done. Internet Safety I was very powerful and almost "scarey". This is an excellent video to show middle school students. Internet Safety II and Know the Rules are excellent for young children. Today children are surfing the internet younger and younger. I taught computer applications to grades k-8 a few years ago and I was amazed of how much these kids were capable of and how much of what they witnessed their parents and older siblings doing. Some of them could not spell "big words" but they were capable of remembering a web address.
Children a very innocent and trusting - a the undesirables - can hide and easily befriend children under false pretenses. As a teacher, I have heard of students getting into trouble on the internet. I have heard of them being threatened by others and bullied. The internet is a source of endless information and is a tool that most of us cannot live without. We must educate our students and our children with all of the "bad" that is out there as well.
