Internet Safety
So I just heard a lecture about internet safety and all i have to say is what saftey. All the things on the internet that are created to protect the users simply dont. Technology is almost like a living breathing thing that is in constant motion, constant change adn constant growth. So as such once somebody creates something that is protected the next another person is figured out who to bust through that protection. I dont know what others are thinking but this makes sense to me. With each new leap of industry and technology society leaps forward as well in ways to attack others. Bulling is the most basic form of survival of the fittest and it morphs and evolves with the industry and technology. So thus we have internet and cell phone bulling. The difference is that now that it is on the internet the victims cant escape from it. In this way it is much more tramatizing then the face to face bullying. All i have to say is what is going on with the internet meaning bullying, and predetors is not a new things. Those kinds of this have be going on for years but the difference is the way it is being used. Society has learned to protect itself for the most part from this kinds things but with each jump of technology we have to learn a new way to sheild ourselfs from this things. Predators will always be there society simply as to learn to be a head of them.

Jackie,
I agree that teachers and parents need to continually work to keep themselves and their students/children educated about staying safe on the web, and it is somewhat of a moving target, as you mentioned.

Great input Jacky. I agree that there really isn't safety in the internet. It's nice to know that someone cares.
I think it's pretty scary, too. Especially since that as teachers we are responsible for how our students spend their time on the internet during school hours.
