So far most of my blogs have been about the possibilities and opportunities in ICT.  However I just read Cathie’s blog Are Children safe using online blogs?  And it made me think about the negatives of using the internet and especially the safety issues.  In my earlier blog “Blogging possibilities”   I mentioned students could use blogs as a journal, teachers need to be careful that students understand that this is in a reflective manner on their learning or if it is a journal that they do not identify themselves or their family and be careful about giving out too much information. It is obvious that this is a very important subject that students need to learn about.  Internet safety and manners should be a compulsory part of the primary curriculum.  I found a website I liked about internet safety for children called nettys world and cybersmart kids online, as a teacher i think it would be important to dedicate several lessons to issues of internet saftey.
