Internet Safety
I though that the interent videos were interesting. I cannot stress how important it is to proctect yourself and your children from internet predators. Internet safety is defintely a concern for parents today. There are pros and cons with the internet. It is great to research topics, but there are people out there who hack into computers to steal information or plant viruses in people's computers. Then there are the predators who use chat rooms to lure children and teenagers. As a future teacher/parent I think that you need to monitor what the children are viewing, especially if they are in any chat rooms.

I completely agree with your post, Michele.
Although I think parents know about some issues of internet safety, I also think they can be in the dark. Many parents truly think their children are not on Facebook or MySpace because they are not accessing it from home. That is not true. I can almost bet that the child is finding access somewhere. So rather than try to block Internet use, parents should show videos such as there to their children and try to educate them on how to use the 'net safely.
Thanks for posting!
