The UNICEF Innocenti report on Child Safety Online shows that countries that have guidelines for social workers related to online child safety often have separate guidelines for law enforcement agencies, but lack a structured mechanism for the reporting of online abuse, referrals and coordinated actions.

I agree with the problem of technology in the hands of students can often be distracting. The temptation to play games, search google, and social media is huge. It is so difficult to find a balance in a less than ideal world. My hope is that the earlier we introduce technology in the classroom, the novelty will wear off by the higher grades. Even with controls on wifi and devices, students are so tech savvy, they find ways around it.

The study findings give a clear impression that censorship is not generally desirable to institutions. The results of this survey also indicate that many U.S. institutions do not consider this topic important.
