Internet Issues

The Internet provides access to information, expertise, tools, and world-wide communication that was unheard of even five years ago. It also provides unprecedented challenges to teachers and schools. We'll look at some of the concerns that accompany the use of the Internet with students, in particular, safety, plagiarism and copyright issues. The Internet is an increasingly important part of students lives. It is the school's job to provide the information and techniques to enable students to use it safely and productively.

As our students are using the internet so frequently to communicate, it is great to have a class that helps teachers join in so that we can teach them how to do it appropriately. Meghan T

plagarism. You are very resourceful.
