QUOTE:
"Despite early studies suggesting that internet use leads to anti-social behavior, later findings indicate positive aspects of engaging in online socializing."
REACTION:
I agree with this quote. I feel that yes there are a lot of things online and websites and things you can access that can defenitly lead to anti-social behavior in children and in students.I feel that if parents monitor what their children have access to on computers, children would not access unappropriate material. This has been a rising issue for many years. It is also a teachers reponsibility to monotor what a students can access in the school systems. Although, negative aspects of being online have been brought up, positive aspects have to. Positive behavior has also been a result of being online. Using the internet has been a great way to socialize and meet knew people. It has been a great way to communicate and feel like it is ok to be yourself. Some people feel relieved when they do not have to communicate face to face. Therefore, online social networks are a good way for children and young adults to develop who they are and who they want to be without having any barriors. I like this a lot!
REALATED SOURCE:
I like this video because it tells what exactly internet behavior is and what is exceptable and what is inappropriate behavior. I think this would be a good video to display in the classrooms. I also like that the characters are cartoons.
