Internet Safety

I decided to read "it's 'Only' Violence" by Brad J. Bushman because I read that Brooke read it and liked it. I also watched some of the videos on the netsmartz website, the fauxpaws video, and frontline PBS. From watching these videos I learned that there are many great things that we can get from the internet...we just need to be careful about how much time and energy we put into technology. There is nothing better than real life conversation and if children and adults get to involved in virtual communication and neglect person to person conversation we can really harm ourselves.

I asked my neice what she new about internet safety and I was actually really surprised at how much she knew. (she must have just had internet safety at school or something) She knew not to give any personal information out over the internet and that we shouldn't talk to strangers. She also said we shouldn't spend to much time on the computer either. I was really surprised at how informed she was about internet safety. I shared a couple things that I learned to her and I think that she will spend less time on the computer and more time with her friends:)

I also completed arts 2-4
