Internet Safety
The Internet has been a revolutionary tool of technology that students can use to learn just about anything, and to do it quickly. While it has empowered us all to seek information more expediently than ever, it has also brought us closer together with millions of other people around the world. In this way, it has been both a blessing and a curse. It is our job, as educators and parents, to provide students with safe opportunities to make connections between school and home and to explore their interests. With that in mind, we have reviewed an extensive number of Internet safety resources and have posted some of them here for your reference. We hope you find them helpful.
