  • The Internet can be a wonderful resource for kids. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games. Kids who are old enough to punch in a few letters on the keyboard can literally access the world. But that access can also pose hazards. For example, an 8-year-old might do an online search for "Lego." But with just one missed keystroke, the word "Legs" is entered instead, and the child may be directed to a slew of websites with a focus on legs — some of which may contain pornographic material. That's why it's important to be aware of what your kids see and hear on the Internet, who they meet, and what they share about themselves online. Just like any safety issue, it's wise to talk with your kids about your concerns, take advantage of resources to protect them, and keep a close eye on their activities. Internet Safety Laws A federal law, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), was created to help protect kids online. It's designed to keep anyone from obtaining a child's personal information without a parent knowing about it and agreeing to it first. COPPA requires websites to explain their privacy policies on the site and get parental consent before collecting or using a child's personal information, such as a name, address, phone number, or Social Security number. The law also prohibits a site from requiring a child to provide more personal information than necessary to play a game or participate in a contest. But even with this law, your kids' best online protection is you. By talking to them about potential online dangers and monitoring their computer use, you'll help them surf the Internet safely.

    How often do you let your children or siblings use the computer? In fact a lot of kids use the internet not only at home but also at school. This page helps teach younger kids internet safety for when no one is around. Quote: 'The Internet can be a wonderful resource for kids.

Etiquette-emoticons and acronyms

  • Ironically, the origin of the smiley face is a highly controversial debate. The most accepted belief is that graphic artist Howard Ball of Worcester, MA, created the smiley when asked to design a morale boosting campaign. He started with just the smile, but soon realized disgruntled employees might turn it upside down to a frown, so he added eyes.  Other Emoticons:   :) The classic smile. "I'm happy" or "my meaning is positive." Some Word programs will automatically turn this into a graphic after hitting return.   ;)   The wink. "Just kidding," sarcasm, etc.    :-)  Smiley with a nose.   :-D     Laughing. A slightly goofier version of the smiley, this one signifies a particularly happy mood or a laughing response.   8)       Glasses or sunglasses. The cool smiley.  :p       Tongue hanging out. Self-explanatory.    :(  The frown. Disappointed or sad.    >:  Angry face.  :x        Sick face.  :O       Embarassed or shocked.  0:-)     Angel with halo.

  • Those freedoms extended to everyone in a digital world - electronic responsibility for actions and deeds AUP (inside and outside of school) Use online material ethically (citing sources) Report cyberbullies and threats
  • ocially Rights and Responsibilities has a lot of influence over us, and our daily life. Everything we do in our online lives or even just online we have to think if it is within our rights or whether we have the responsibilty to do something. For many of us we found this so hard to do because our rights and responsibilities online are soo very different to them offline, which is why it is importtant for children to incorporate these ideas into their daily lives and at a young enough age for them to adapt to them quickly.

  • You need to be aware of which sites people can gain access to your profile and without your permission. Some examples are: Facebook, MySpace. Beware of sites where people can change your password just by knowing your user name. An itunes account is a good example of where this is the case. If your not sure, test it out for your self by clicking on "forgotten your password?" and seeing whether the new pass word is accepted. If you become a victim of cyberbullying, make sure you contact people responsible for the site. If you join a forum, make should you read through the rules and regulations for members. This can be especially important if the forum is a special interest forum where you may get asked to leave if you post "off topic" mails. Use the Internet respectfully: don't post embarrassing pictures of your friends onto sites without their permission!

  • Student Who Created Facebook Group Critical of Teacher Sues High School Over Suspension
  • A former Florida high school student who was disciplined for "cyberbullying" a teacher on Facebook is suing the school principal on allegations of violating her free speech rights.
  • The case highlights the legal challenges facing courts and school administrators as they grapple with campus civil order and free expression in an online world.

  • "We’re in the very first generation of this and there’s nothing ripe for the U.S. Supreme Court to hear," said Frank LoMonte, executive director of the Virginia-based Student Press Law Center.
  • The lawsuit, filed Monday in a Florida federal court, concerns Katherine Evans, now 19, who was suspended as a senior last year after creating a Facebook group devoted to her English teacher. The group was called "Ms. Sarah Phelps is the worst teacher I’ve ever met!," and featured a photograph of the teacher, and an invitation for other students to "express your feelings of hatred." After people’s comments derided Evans for the online stunt, and expressed support for the teacher, she deleted the group. But Pembroke Pines Charter High School, which did not respond for comment, suspended Evans for three days for "disruptive behavior" and for "Bullying / Cyber Bullying Harassment towards a staff member," according to the lawsuit, which is backed by the American Civil Liberties Union.
  • The lawsuit (.pdf) is one of about a dozen across the United States that are part of the fallout as schools confront cyberbullying and the explosion of social networking sites. A Texas high school volleyball coach in September went so far as to declare a ban on student Facebook and MySpace profiles, a decision the Northside Independent School District reversed (.pdf). Last month, Tennessee State University blocked the online gossip site JuicyCampus at the school firewall. In June, Missouri enacted a law against "cyberbullying" in the wake of the Megan Meier suicide tragedy, which was triggered by a hoax MySpace account.
  • There’s no bright-line rule on what constitutes free, student speech in the online world. And as schools start to regulate off-campus student speech on the internet, lawsuits are following.

    The internet bullying has got to stop. It's created a dogma for our government: they haven't seen anything like this before and they don't know how to handle it.
