Breaking It Down

What are the major problems with kids using the Internet? Though the Internet poses a number of safety problems for parents and schools, it can also be a fabulous learning resource. So how do you distinguish between the problems and the resources?

That's why I'm here.

I’ve listed the issues that affect children online most often. Throughout the month, I’ll talk about each issue individually, how it affects school safety and what you can do about each one.

Cyberbullying
Social Networking
Online Solicitation/Predators
Privacy/ Identity Theft
Internet “Addiction” (I use the term loosely)
Cell Phones
Online Gaming (Think XBox 360)
