The WORLD WIDE WEB...what is your child accessing on the internet?

Children today have the world at their fingertips. The internet has allowed us to have instant access to almost anything. This can be both a good thing and a bad thing. Our children can find out information with a click of a mouse, however this can cause some problems because there is some content on the internet that is not appropriate for them to view.

When it comes to our youth, parents and educators have to be aware of what their children/students are accessing on the internet.

School's today have quidelines and procedures in place to teach students about internet safety and conduct. As a teacher, how can we educate both parents and students to make sure they are aware of the safety issues regarding the internet.
