Campaign awareness in schools on the use of the internet


Campaign awareness in schools on the use of the internet

 
Stupid, stupid, stupid

The article read:
Three Adelaide schoolgirls are unlikely to face charges after uploading a risque video to YouTube, police say.
SA police confirmed on Wednesday that the incident had been referred to them by the education department and related to the inappropriate video posted by the students from the Mitcham Girls High School.
The Adelaide Now website said it featured the three girls in school uniform talking about offering sexual encounters for money. "It appears the girls involved in this incident were participating in a stunt and unaware of the dangers and repercussions their action would have."

 
We cannot blame youtube for not filtering the stuff that gets uploaded. Youtube is just a tool that is used and it could be either beneficial or detrimental to us depending on how we use it. There again "how we use it" it all comes down to us as individuals and the choices we make so we cannot simply put the blame on everything or one should something bad always happen to us.

Trying to create awareness is not always any easy task but what we should look at is maybe educating people about the dangers of the internet. We need to bring to the surface all the people that have had bad experiences through using the internet and we need to get the schools and rest of the public see that this is all true and not just tv or news stories that have been fabricated.in

We could get internet administrators go into schools and give crash courses to teachers and student about the use of the internet and its dangers. It’s really easy to access the internet from anywhere so I think these courses would be beneficial. We could also have a World Wide Web festival where all these aspects could be brought to the surface.

I really don’t think we should start blaming the tools we use for our bad habits.

  2. We should bring in the internet expertise or let the teachers do a crash course on the use of the internet and then all the scamms running and seduction and adbuction of kids should be brought to the surface and be exposed let the world be aware of what people are using the internet for.
