Opposing Evil
What experiences have you had at home with the balance between protecting and providing when it comes to technology use?
I think most of these issues in my home have come from internet browsing. Its hard to know where to draw the line, especially with social networking sites. Some sites are breeding grounds for predators, and others are seemingly harmless. However, sites can go from one extreme to the other without careful consideration.
What ideas do you have for learning to preside, provide, protect, and nurture when it comes to technology in your own home?
I believe internet usage should have constant supervision. Another good idea is to have a filter that blocks certain matierials or sites. Passwords should be set on all electronics that allow it.
Describe the video resources you watched?
I watched a few videos about cyber bullying, some that talked about how to avoid it, what it is, real stories of people who have participated in it, and things like that. I watched another video about a girl who met a murderer in a chat room and then met him in real life.
Write a paragraph or more describing the details of your "doing" experience
I chose to work with my husband to discuss the risks of internet chatting, specifically with children. He didn't knwo much about the topic, other than what he had seen or heard in the news. I shared with him the information I learned through watching the video about internet predators, and he was pretty shocked. He couldnt understand why parents would allow their child free access to the internet and not monitor it. He also couldnt understand why the child wasn't educated on the dangers. I think my husband will be more likey to protect our children from these dangers now that he knows the risks involved.
