What types of issues would you worry about in terms of students producing content for sharing with the world via the web?

Hate propaganda, rumors, dangerous actions, how to make dangerous weapons or bombs and how to cheat on tests, that would be the negative of sharing with the world by web. Anything that is morally wrong and that would hurt or harm another. Taking fictitious stories or untrue facts and pass it on to others, Many times it will tend to create a life of its own, and uneducated people will believe it s true. People tend to want to believe everything that is written. Another example on how harmful the web can be is, in the media last year, there was a kid that working on a project for school. He filmed myself doing a display for Star wars with the light saver, Another kid received a copy of it, tagged it and sent it out on the web. It got over a million hits and a million laughs. However it was not intended to be funny and dramatically hurt that child.



Identify three practices or "rules" that you believe would be good practice in protecting students on the web. Elaborate on why you have chosen each.

1. Create your own web tours before hand.

2.Make sure that students parents, and even administrators are clear about the expectations and the reasoning's for the blog and make sure everyone has the proper permission.

3.Read what they write and become the administer.
