There are so many wonderful resources, information and experiences on the internet, unfortunately, there are some dangers lurking there as well. In our lessons, we try to expose students to the idea that everyone they meet online is a stranger - so the same rules they learned as preschoolers still apply.
As students get a little older, in sixth grade and beyond, the dangers become more pronounced as students seek out sites like MySpace.com where they share too much personal information.
