Social, Legal, and Ethical Issues in the Classroom

I think the internet is a powerful tool in the classroom if used correctly. As a teacher you need to be aware of the things that students are doing on the internet. There are many inappropriate places and people on the internet that students can get into trouble with. I think we, as teachers need to teach the students the correct way to use the internet so they will be better prepared when they face it on their own. I also think that schools having filters in place can be helpful because then some of the temptations are taken away. In elementary especially it is important to limit the sites your students can visit. Overall, I think the internet can really be helpful you just have to learn to use it correctly.
