Chapter 7 from WEB 2.0 New Tools, New Schools

CHAPTER 7
This chapter discusses the nature of student's safety as well as copyright awarenes. This chapter is very important to any member who is in the school setting- student, parent, all teachers,aides, administrators and others who are part of the school district.

A survey done by Cable in the Classroom showed 79% of the parents feel it is the responsibility of the school to teach Internet Safety and over half that amount felt government agencies shoud be involved in protecting children on the Internet.

Ethical behavior on the part of a student is fuzzy at best. Students do not always understand copyright/copyright infridgement.So often, students feel that due to the fact it is available on line it must be acceptable to copy off the internet.

Ethical policies to best represent the web and protect the teacher/ school and child need to be gone over yearly. David Warlick stated old policies need to be revisited.
Due to the fact that our school district as well as others taking federal monies, they are required to have certain filters in place to protect the student.
