Teaching about internet safety.

I talked to my mom and sister about this. First I asked them what they knew and they knew more that I thought they would. They knew more then I did before reading and watching all that information. My sister's husband's cousin makes internet games that teach children about internet safety. It was really interesting to learn about.

I told them about the things that I learned actually happen, the things that shocked me. And my mom and sister both knew about them. I talked about how it is important to know what could happen so that you are ready to fight it and prevent it.

I also talked to them about cyber bullying. My sister is teacher and she told me a story about one of her students who was bullied on a myspace page. I then talked about pornography and how you need to turn off your computer. My mom then told me a story of when she was doing family history and this site came up and she couldn't get it off. She then learned that you have to completly turn off your computer. My sister recounted a story of a student in her school coming to a pornogrpahic site and school and he did the right thing. He first turned off the monitor and then went and told a teacher.

This experience was good because we were all on the same page and agreed and were worried about the same things.
