WHY IS THIS
IMPORTANT?
Children today will never not have
technology in their lives. And the
internet can be a very large
unknown place. And just like
teaching children how to walk across
the street, we need to teach them
how to navigate online as well.
DANGERS OF THE INTERNET
➤ Not every part of the internet is child friendly. There can be cyberbullying, revealing
too much. piracy, phishing, malware, and obscenity.
➤ Phishing is what cyber security professionals call the use of emails that try to trick
people into clicking on malicious links or attachments. 
➤ Malware is computer software that is installed without the knowledge of
permission of the victim and performs harmful actions on the computer. 
➤  Internet addiction is becoming a more significant problem. Internet use can be a
good thing, but if it becomes an addiction it can affect a person's offline life.
➤ There is a risk of eye strain, wrist strain, and other injuries. You can help prevent this
by limiting the amount of time your kids spend on computers and mobile devices.
➤ Online dangers are not just limited to bad websites. Chat rooms, computer games,
and even social networking sites can be risky.
USING THE INTERNET IN THE CLASSROOM
➤ Kids are using the internet everyday. Whether is be for projects, zoom meetings, or
games, students can be online for hours at a time.
➤ This might include zoom meetings or blending learning act flipped classroom
➤ Using apps like kahoot, ST Math, IXL, or iready
➤ Students can be on the internet for research on topics
➤ They can use power point to make a slide show
➤ Or make a video using a green screen and camera
