Such access spawns individual and group projects, collaboration, curriculum materials, and idea sharing. As a hands-on classroom tool, networks can motivate students. They encourage the kind of independence and autonomy that many educators agree is important for students to achieve. Because class, race, ability, and disability are removed as communication factors or barriers, the Internet is a natural tool for addressing the needs of all students. Like other parts of real life, there are good things and bad things on the Internet.
Most people are whom they represent, but it is possible to misrepresent oneself.
Also, remember that not everything you read on-line may be true. Students need to learn to discriminate between reliable sources of information and those that may be questionable. No one should respond to messages that are suggestive, obscene, belligerent, threatening, or make you feel uncomfortable. We encourage you to let us know from whom and from where such messages may come, so we may ban them from our link to the Internet. Students, teachers, and staff are expected to use the Internet for the purpose of educational resources, not game playing or searching for objectionable materials.
