My biggest concern is the safety of the internet. The internet has great websites and other things for students if they are careful. But it can also not be safe. I hesitate to use the internet for this reason. I'm afraid that when go to a website, they are going to see something they shouldn't. Another concern I have is if it's grade level friendly. I struggle a lot finding things that are for their level but also their learning level. Lastly, the connectivity. Most websites that I want to use cannot but opened here. I have to have a VPN and my school computer does not have a VPN.
2) How can you alleviate these concerns?
I think it's VERY important that students, especially young ones, are with a grown up at all times. They should never be alone. I think it's important that a teacher sets "rules" and her students knows them when they are on the internet. I'm actually going to see if my school computer can get a VPN so then I can find some websites for my students.
