Internet Safety 2

There was lots of interesting internet safety videos. One that I liked a lot was the netsmartzkids.org. I learned that kids need to use your netsmartz. I learned that students need to be really careful online, in making sure they are saying No to things they don’t know about.

They also need to make sure they are checking their email for viruses before they open them and telling a trusted adult anything that you are unsure of when online. You need to make sure students understand that on the internet you don’t always get what you think it is. Students need to learn to never give their personal information out online to people they don’t know. I also learned about the importance of understanding of ethics on the internet so that students will learn that taking songs is stealing things that are not theirs.

These internet safety videos and websites are a great resource for you to introduce your students or kids to. Many of the songs on netsmartzkids.org are catchy songs that will help students and kids understand what is important for them to know about how to use the internet and keep them safe.
