Class 10/14/15

Today in class we discussed the importance of teaching our students safety over the internet. I think this is something that is being down-sized and looked past because everyone is seeing all these new apps and portals that help students learn but they are forgetting who is on the other side. Student's need to know how to tell the difference between a safe website or app and one that isn't. As well student's have to know how to monitor themselves. With blogging and tweeting it is very easy for student's to be able to express themselves but there comes a point when a person has to reflect and say do I really want the whole world to be able to read this? Am I offending anyone or anything? Is this something that I could get in trouble with down the road? If you are doubting your writing at all then I say don't post it because it is better to be safe than sorry.
