video resources

I watched faux paw. This video would be great to show kids because it is a cartoon that helps kids understand rules about the internet. Rules discussed were: don't give out your name, number, or address online, don't meet someone you met online, and tell a parent if you find something bad on the internet.
I watched cyberbullying. This video on Frontline really showed how brutal some children can be to others. But this bullying is much more serious than other types because it often is in secret. It can be avoided if parents regulate what happens on their children's computers.
I watched the child predator fear video. This video showed how parents need to really be involved. The scary part about the internet is that parents can't always control what happens there. The predators can find anything on the internet.
I watched a revolution in classrooms and social life. This video showed me that teaching has become so much more involved in technology. It shows how technology advanced children are. Also children are so overexposed to several things quickly all the time on the internet that it makes it harder for kids to focus in school. The internet lets people get away with doing things quicker and with less focus.
I watched webwisekids: Katie's story. This showed me how real child predators are. They make the kids feel like they are wanted and that they need this person and isolate kids from other people. They slowly and gently bring sexual content into the conversations. The predators use crafty schemes to reel these children in.
I watched Netsmartz: Julie's Journey. This video showed me how scary internet relationships can be. She became very close friends with a 56 year old murderer. She thought that she knew him but she didn't really know who he was. Its scary how people can pretend to be someone else and manipulate others on the internet.
