In today's class we worked as group to discuss internet safety with the students that we teach, we also did an assignment on this that we submitted to blackboard. This activity proved to be far more insightful than I could've ever imagined. There are many guidlines and rules that teachers have to follow about internet safety that I never knew about; its all a bit scary. The students safety must always be considered before assigning an internet assignment, but not only the students safety, but your job safety as well. If a students accidently gets into a website he/she should not be on and you did not specify for them not to this, the teacher can get very big trouble. This lesson also help me learn about the possibilities as to why teacher's, for the most part, should not have facebook or myspace when they become professionals. This can be very dangerous for many different reasons. As the case happen in a movie where a teacher had a bikini on and lost her job because students were able to locate the picture of her.
