The Cyber World
Things to Think about…
Why is this important?
• We have several mobile lab units in our district where
the classroom teacher is in charge of what the students
are doing.
• Most of us, have our own children or grandchildren who
use the internet under our watch.
• Sometimes, bullying begins at school and carries over to
their cell phones, chats, or emails at home.
• The handbook next year will include a section on internet
safety.
A digital native is a person who was born
after the general implementation of digital
technology and has had digital technologies
over their entire lives.
A digital immigrant is an individual who
was born before the existence of digital
technology and adopted it to some extent
later.

If you would be embarrassed
by “anyone” finding out what
you have sent, you should not
be sending it!
Message from SD ICAC
None of us would leave a child unsupervised in the middle of a large city
and yet, frankly, the Internet is just like that city. Not all its streets are risky –
the Internet is a great place for kids to learn and entertain themselves – yet
we must all recognize that this particular “city” has a dark and dangerous
side. Did you know that 1 in 4 kids today have received unwanted
exposures to sexual materials while online? Did you know that 1 in 5 kids
have received unwanted sexual solicitations, almost entirely from strangers,
while online? Probably not, since less than 10 percent of such incidents are
ever reported to parents or authorities.

Student play
online using
Avatars…this
should be
considered their
online self at
other sites, too.
Too Much Information!!!
“We are raising digital natives.”
Tell students that they should only fill out
information that is absolutely necessary to get
the account.
FOR EXAMPLE:
•
Facebook users do not have to show real pictures of themselves
for the profile pictures on their accounts.
•
Email addresses can have similar characteristics but not real
ones.
•
Neither internet account requires you to fill out anything except a
user name and password.
www.hotmail.com
www.google.com
Trusting too much…
One piece of information given out when creating
accounts or “tech talking”, could take you to the
dark and dangerous side of the cyber “city”.
