The Importance of Internet Education
In the modern world social media is ubiquitous.
However, ubiquity does not mean that limits should not apply.
Students filming and posting within school settings is a guarantee. There is also an extremely high chance they will be putting personal information online through social media, gaming, or any other method. I think there is no way or reason for us to stop this. Thus one of the things we can do for students is teach them how to operate safely in online spaces and the laws we have in place around such places.
Media literacy and proper online safety are some of the most important tools to place in the hands of the current youth. Unlike current generations who have had to pick up these skills outside of the classroom, this group has the chance to learn these things in a classroom setting. This means they can be operating safely from a much younger age than previously. With the dangers of catfishing, misinformation, and however many other evils of the digital age bearing down more than ever, these skills are truly vital.
