Teaching Thought #29
Here is an interesting take on the Ten Things Teachers Should Unlearn, this one instead looks at what Parents Should Unlearn.
Fourth, The internet is dangerous for children.
This one surprised me a bit. It’s not like there are predators lurking behind every single site. This reminds me of the old advice parents used to get regarding home computers: put the computer in a high traffic area like the dining room or living room so you can see what your children are on all the time.
So much for trust, right?
How about having a talk with your children about what is appropriate and what is inappropriate to look at on the computer?
The internet is an amazing place where our students can do so many things. They can start a digital platform. They can blog and change the lives of others. They can enact change. They can start their own youtube channel if for nothing other than simply sharing their passions. And they can learn so many things.
