Technology & Classrooms - Students prepare presentations for campus websites & BLOGS. Are they safe?

The first time I put my face out for the world to see on the web I was 50 and in grad schoolthese kids have had their thoughts, happenings and /gulp/ their opinion of their family and friends and teachers out there for a decade or more by the time you got hold of them...theyre safer with you than in their own room I think.

Thank you - I do want them safe. Mesacleanpools - your answer inspires me to write a sci-fi on the killer school computers - lolTo clarify, what I mean by safe is this. We have MANY predators in the world and with a bit of investigating they can seek out prey - they do it anyway.

Plus, we all know that most of these kiddos do have themselves plastered all over social networks - very vocally and FULL of questionable images. This however does not show their respective responsibility. But, what about teachers?

Educators and districts would easily and quickly be blamed if a child was harmed in anyway due to online assignments/presentations. I'm not paranoid - just concerned and curious.

I'm not sure what you mean by "safe" but I'm pretty sure their computers aren't going to eat them up and anything they find online isn't going to traumatize them. Kids are always know more information than we intend for them and there isn't much to do about it other than focus on the quality parts of life. I'm sure your kids will be fine.

I think I haven't understood the exact meaning of your question, but still, I'd like to answer on whatever I've understood. I think educational acceleration has reached enormous levels and there is a hell lot of difference between the education of the 80's 90's and the 21st century. So these things MAY BE safe, until they are under an experienced supervision and guidance.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
