Online Safety Videos

Despite the irony that I found these on YouTube, here are two short videos that present about internet safety

 

The first video consists of basic guidelines for internet usage. This can be shown to younger children just beginning to browse the web. These guidelines can be incorporated into classroom lessons when students use the internet for assignments.  In fact, I believe a video of this nature, or perhaps one explaining what is actually "out there" on the internet, SHOULD be shown by teachers before they permit students to use technology in school.

The second video is more specific to online social media but presents a discussion between (I believe) a mother and son. The mother is questioning her son about the availability of what is posted or uploaded to the internet and the lack of privacy that surrounds it. It's a good example of the healthy communication lines and shared information that I blogged about here.
