Internet Safety, Digital Safety, and Copywrites

Wow, can i be arrested or held accountable for some of the links, information, or pictures that I have used in some of my undergraduate courses? The answer is yes, and many college students need to be cogniscent of that. Many young people (Myself included) and new internet users believe that because the information is easily accessible they dont have to cite where the work came from.

Additionally, one thing that our students need to keep in mind is the act of cyberbullying and it's consequences. Not only can students get harassed while in school, they are also tormented over the internet. Many young people have felt the stigma of being made fun over via the internet. We are professiionals need to make sure that our students have respect for eachother. This means that students need to be able to engage in meaningful discourse both in school and in the privacy of their own home. Cyberbullying is defintely something that needs to be monitored in the future.
