Internet Safety

There are all kinds of filters and blockers that are meant to protect from and prevent internet abuse. What do you think about them? What kinds of filters should be in schools? Does it matter what grade kids are in?

  1. I'm guessing very safe filters that can protect anyone from internet abuse. No It does not matter what grade kids are in.

  3. Jake G. here and I think that websites should be blocked, but only you should see if it is inappropriate and harsh word using websites not just the ones teachers pick. You can't just block a website that you don't like, well you can but you should not.

  4. Shane W. here and I think that fire walls and k9 protection should do the trick to keep every kid safe whitch should make kids feel safer, and I think it doesn't matter what grade kids are in websites that are innapropriate should be blocked.

  5. I think that the Internet filters in our school are a great thing. In school, we're here to learn, not to mess around. I think filters that should be in schools should be on anything that could be harmful to the students. I think that the grade kids are in does affect what children go on. Depending on what grade you are in, there is more or less per-pressure. Isabel S. Grade 6

    I think you should trust kids and if a kid doesn't listen just punish that kid. Not everyone else!

  10. I think that it is smart to block us from iniprpriate thing that we should never see. I think that the kind that protects younger kids from not for their age level like K9 web protecting filter. Yes, younger kids should not say, see, or hear something that they learn on the internet that they are not suppose to know.

  11. As students i feel that we should be trusted with the responsibliity of going on the internet. Without being blockes with a internet saftey such as K9 Web protection.We go to a catholisc school, as cristians we are tought to do as Jesus would do. We are suposed to be trusted. It is not fair for the internet to be blocked.
    Yes, there is the question should we put different internet for differnet ages. I do agree with this. But thier should not be so much protection that we can't surf the web and be resticted from learning.

  13. I think that kids should be able to not have their computers blocked cause i think it should be that way for everyone cause it would be alot easier for teachers and the kids too. If something bad comes up I think kids should just go on a different page and be mature.

  14. It matters what grade you are in when a pop-up comes on your computer because they child might click on the pop-up. Sometimes if the pop-up might say you win some money, but if you click the saying you might have to pay that amount of money.
    Thank you,

  15. I think that they are very protective and that they should always have them. They protect not only me but others from things that we should not see. I think that the K9 web protecting filter should be in all schools to protect kids like us from looking in to bad and innapropreate things. No, I doesnt really matter because i think that everyone should use these web protecting filters.

    I think that on some websites there are inapropriate things that should be blocked for kids like under the age of 18 like they should have to sign in if they are 18 to see that stuff. That is what I think about the internet saftey.

  17. i disagree with nina S. because it does matter what grade someone was in to block something from them. so that is why i diagree with nina.

  18. I agree with Patrick and Carly because yes internet websites should be blocked but they shouldn't be blocked because we are mature enough to know what websites are good and whitch are not, also if a teacher catches you on a website that you are not supposed to be on you get a demerate

    I am agreaing with Carly I think the little grades k-4 should have blocked sites i also think the 5-8 shouldn't have that many blocked sites such as I think facebook, myspace, and Flicker shouldn't be blocked i think we should be trusted.

  21. Yes I do agree with Patrick but some things on google are really helpful so that is a yes and a no. You did make a very good point though.

  22. I think that if the internet was not protective that little kids could go on google and they might look up something. They might click on something and if might not be very safe. So if you are protective on thre internet than if something is bad it will block it. It does matter what grades because we don't want little kids on something that is not good. so the grades that should not be blocked is 5th and up because i thnk that we could be very moratge about it and wil not do anything bad. I think that 1st though 4th might click on something by accident and they might get in trouble for being on it.

  23. Hello, it is Nick B.Grade 6 I think it is important to have internet safety because you don't no what are on them sites. They could cause a virus and your computer may not work. I think kids will take advanage of it. Also they might click on something they don't even no what it is.

  24. I think that the internet has so many things on google and other websites that we cannot contain. I think that internet safety is necassary for only things for the immature eyes and minds. Of course there are some things that are not needed for internet safety like this blogging site, kids may explore and discover thoughts and share thier minds as well.I think every school or grade should should have a password everytime they log into maybe a not so sure protected website.It definantly depends on what mature level as well as upper grade levels you are to go on different things because like I said they arent for all eyes.Mia R.
